learn that the train is behind time, and
all hopes are crushed.

said were: What will my poor mother
say?' He was carried to the freight
depot, cot was provided. Drs. VIM.

EN- were summoned, and the boy was
made as comfortable as possible. His
back was injured, and \the back and
side of his head was cut, his left foot
was badly hurt and he was bruised
and injured in other parts.
The doctors held a consultation and
it was decided that the right leg would
have to be amputated. The boys
father, who is employed as car inspec-
tor on the railroad, was telegraphed to
and he arrived on the down passenger
train. He was very much shocked
over the accident and could not be
comforted. The railroad officials set
about devising methods to make the
boy comfortable and also to get him
home. A special train was ordered
and everything was done that could be
thought of to add to the comfort of
the injured lad. The special train left
at 1890 O'Clock on Saturday, with the
three doctors and two assistants on
board, together with the father and
brother. They reached Atsion all
right. Saturday afternoon the right
leg was amputated below the knee,

well as could be expected considering
his severe wounds.

fully did he portray the trait
orous friend that the audience lost control
OF itself, and in the second act began
shooting at the fell conspirator. One shot
struck "0thello'sn sword-hilt, and all

that Booth remained in the theatre all
night for fear Of the vigilants, who talked
seriously Of lynching the "cold-bloodcd
