Fatal ACCIDENT.
An Elderly Woman Run over by coast
Line Street Car and Fatally injured
Her Death ut st. Joseph's Infirmary.

An FldcrIv Woman Run Over by Coast
Line street Car and Fatally Injured
Her Death at st. Joseph's Infirmary.
A fatal accident occurred in Columbia
square about o'clock yesterday after
noon, which resulted in the death of an
elderly lady, Mrs. Bergner, the proprie-
tress of a small shop at the corner Of
Reynolds street and Thunderbolt road.
The woman, it seems, was returning
from the business portion Of the city,
where she had been to make some pur-
chases, and in crossing the square and
the Coast Line Railroad car track, at the
Intersection Of President and Habersham
streets, was struck by the axles attacned
to a street car and knocked down,
the car passing over both Of her legs,
crushing the bone Of the right leg from
the knee to the ankle. and breaking and
crushing the left ankle into a bruised
mass of bone and flesh. The car was
stopped, but not before it had passed over
the unfortunate woman, who was
lying across the rails. DR.. Stone
was Immediately summoned and
rendered every attention possible. A con-
veyance was procured and she was taken
to the st. Joseph's Infirmary, where an
examination revealed the extent of her
injuries. which were at once pronounced
severe. but were not at that time believed
TO be fatal.
Amputation of the right leg was found
to be necessary, and the operation was
performed with as much care as possible.
After the operation the woman was re-
vived from her insensible condition and
chatted freely for a short time. She
stated, it is said, to her attendants
that the accident was the result Of
her own carelessness in trying to cross
the track in front of the car. The shock
upon her nerves and body, enfeebled with
age and the loss of blood, was too great,
and she sank rapidly and died about 5;3O
O'Clock.
Her remains were taken in charge by
her daughter and removed to her late resi-
dence at her place of business.
The Coroner was not notified Of the oc-
currence until after midnight, but VIII
begin an investigation to-day.
The accident was witnessed by a num-
Der of people. The car was quickly sur
rounded by an excited crowd, and the
driver, a negro named VIM. Blue, and his
assistant, a young negro named JenerSOn
Williams, who was in Blues charge. and
being trained as driver, were arrested
by Officer Prindible upon charge of care
less driving and lodged in the barracks.
The car was in charge of Conductor Fur-
Wis. The negro Blue stated to MORN
ING NEWS reporter last night that the
first he saw of the woman she was in
front of the mules, running to
get across the track. He seized
the brake and attempted to stop the car,
but it was too late; the mule, stepping on
her dress. tripped her ana she fell across
the raIl, the ear passing over her.

Bnsiness Hours and Standard Time


Editor Morning NelrS: An argument
used against standard time by merchants
and manufacturers is that it makes their
employees lose time in the morning, and
stay later at night when they are not
needed. This would be true provided the
old hours of employment were kept to,
but nothing is easier than to change them
and thus make little, if any, change in the
actual hours of labor. For instance If
with any house the employees were required
under the old time to commence work at
s a. m, let them start under the new
time at 80 a. IN, and the actual differ
ence will be only six minutes; and at
night let employees stop one half hour ear
lier than under old time. This is a simple
matter that a child ten years old can COM
prehend. and it is lamentable that intelli-
gent business men should be bothered
over it. Simply change the hours OF bust
ness One-halt hour ahead, and that RENE
dies any trouble or loss of employees time
through the new system.

Ended in "A RiOt-Disturbance Among
Negroes at Bee.

Negroes ut q bee.
Quite an excitement was created in the
eastern part OF the city Wednesday
afternoon by q disturbance among
lot of negroes. Mrs. Mona
han, it seems, contemplates the
erection of new brick building on the
northwest corner of East Broad street
and Bay street lane. On this site there
formerly stood an old wooden rOokery,
which was used for many years as junk
shop. This old structure was torn down
on that day in about as quick time as any
thing of the kind could be done. A force
Of negroes and boys and n number OF Wo-
men commenced the work of demolition
about dinner time, and by 1870 O'Clock
every vestige of the roOkery was gone.
Probably about 500 negroes were at
work. During the time two Of them be-
came involved in discussion as to who
should have a piece of scantling from
the wreck, when one of them picked up
an AK and attempted to brain the other,
but the weapon was taken away from
! him. He then seized a Ratchet, but that
was also taken from him. Nothing
/ daunted. he spied a brick, which he
4 reached for and let fly at his adversary,
/ striking him on the side of the head and
| telling him to the ground insensible. The
1 assailant Immediately took to his
| heels, but the large crowd Of
negro women, boys and men
pursued him up East Broad to Bay street,
and up Bay to Price, and through Price
| to Bay lane, down which he ran, the
| crowd after him yelling and hOoting. He
! finally managed to elude his pursuers and
! escaped. The wounded negro had bad
| slit IN the side of his head. The affair
/ created considerable excitement Tor
/ time in the eastern part of the city.
