GLEN MAEY,s DARK SHADOW.

A great, dark shadow has fallen on the
bright happy home at Glen Mary, home
whose precincts seem almost sacred 10 the
readers Of the EAGLE because of the many
tender sentiments that have flowed to
them through these columns from its
peaceful hearth. The pride and stay of
that home, by one awful stroke, which
came with the swiftness of light, was
struck down-destroyed. The breath of
the prayer of thanksgiving had but escap-
ed the lips of the father and mother for a
blessing in which was concealed the angel
of death, who, from out the passing rain
cloud, that promised only life to the thirsty
fields, flashed death to the promise of that
household, and desolation to hearts still
warm with expressions Of gratitude for
blessing which seemed already theirs.
How mysterious are the ways of Provi-
dence, or rather, how unexpectedly falls
the startling hand of blind fate upon the
children of earth.
Patrick Macdonald, while driving
along the road on a reaper Sunday after
noon, going from the field to the barn. was
struck by lightning and instantly killed.
The straw hat he was wearing at the time
was torn from his head, but the only
mark to be seen upon his person was
streak of purple running along his fore
head A young man setting on the seat
beside Macdonald had his coal sleeve set
on fire and received such shock that he
viii perhaps never recover from its effect.
The three horses hitched to the machine
were all shocked but soon recovered; the
reaper was but little damaged.
The victim of this terrible accident was
found by friends in the road, picked up
lifeless and carried to the home of his pa
rents, about aehalf mile away. Nothing
could be done for the poor boy was past
medical assistance.
The deceased was twenty-five years of
age. His funeral took place yesterday af-
ternoon from st. Aloysius church, Dean
Casey officiating. The remains were fol-
lowed to the Catholic cemetery, where
they were inferred, by large concourse of
friends and relatives.

A REPORTED FATAL ACCIDENT.
The Little Daughter Of Mr.. Bukofezer Run Oyel
nv Wagon

Last evening an accident. which may yet
result in the death OF the little daughter
OF Mr.. Bukofezer. a grocer OF the West
Side, occurred near the corner OF Chicago
and Usage avenues.
The little girl, who is about years OF
age, was playing on the road when the de
livery wagon of the Centennial takery
passed. In some way she got under the
front wheel and it passed entirely overher.
The driver, it seemed, became excited over
the accident and when he attempted to
back the wagon the wheel not only passed
again over her but the horse stepped upon
the child, cutting her breast in frightful
manner with the cork of the shoe.
She was picked up insensib.e and bleed
ing and taken to her home where medical
aid was Immediately summoned.
An examination showed that her injuries
were of quite serious nature, and il was
last night reported that they would yet
prove fatal

Mr.. Buckeridge. for the health commit
tee. stated that the city is now paying
$3.50 per year to help support two hos
pitfalls, and he understood that they would
soon be asked TO pay 500 more per year.
In view OF that fact he suggested the ad-
visibility OF the city" purchasing building
for that purpose and letting some organi-
cation or society have it, so that the city
might save some money and control the
institution at the same tine. He knew of
a building which could be had for about
sll,000, only about three-fourths OF the
cost Of the building. to say nothing OF the
land He thought it would be well for the
city to either appropriate the necessary
amount this fall or issue ten year bonds
for the same. In teu years the city would
save enough to pay for the property and
have it free. The building Is the one on
South Fourth avenue near Lincoln, and is
adapted for hospital After
some discussion, on motion this matter
was referred 70 the health committee
Judge Campbell did not think the city
could give the bonds Tor that purpose.
