A frightful accident, caused by
runaway in Central Park, New York,
shortly after five o'clock on Thursday
afternoon, resulted in the instant
death Of Mrs. Alice Pendleton, wife
of Ex-senator George H. Pendleton,
United States Minister to Germany,
and the serious, though not fatal in
jury of Miss Jane Francis Pendleton,
their 22-year old daughter. The
horse bolted, threw the driver from
the seat and the ladies jumped from
the carriage. Mrs. Pendleton, who
was very STOUT, fell heavily on the
concrete curb, fracturing the skull.
The fatal consequences have lesson
that may prove of value to others.
1t is said had Mrs. Pendleton and her
daughter remained in the vehicle
neither would have come to harm, as
the runaway horse would soon have
been stopped. The assertion con-
forms to previous experience under
like conditions. 1t is safer as a rule
to sit still behind a runaway horse
and to jump only when a collision
seems inevitable.

ly followed by the mob that they i'm |
plored the protection of the justice,

Medical Examiner Coy held an in
quest at Greenfield, Mass, the Goth,
on the body of George Taylor, the
child poisoned by it's father at Deer
field the night before. Quite a guam
tity of strychnine was found in the |
child's stomach, and the medical ex-
aminer will render the verdict that the
child came to its death by strychnine
by its father, Eugene
Taylor. In his cell the father is
closely watched, as the belief is strong
that he will make further attempts
upon his own life. He lies upon the
bunk with closed eyes, speaks to no
one unless first addressed, and then
in voice low and tremulous. His
whole appearance indicates crushed
and utterly Respondent man. He has
no wish for life. He will probably be
held for the July court, as bis own
repeatedly given, fastens
The crime upon him. 1t is probable
hat at the trial a plea of insanity
will be offered, as Taylor has been
subject to frequent spells of despon-
lency, although as far as can be
earned, he has never before been con-
'idered insane, even by people who
lave known him for Is years. On
he contrary he has been regarded as
IN active, hard working man, a capa-
lie farmer and trustworthy employe.
