day morning as soon as the Union Passen-
ger cars stopped running to connect the
Southside Land and improvement Com
pany's track with that OF the former COM
pany at the corner OF Seventh and clay
company, but not very agreeable to the

counting the strokes OF the heavy sledge-
hammers and rafting of the rails which
precluded all possibility of sleep.

tween the cars Friday afternoon were not
long enough TO make any alterations or

STEWARD SMITHS DEATH CAUSED BY
n,s OWN THoUGhTLESSNEss.
Tho coropcr,s Jury Urged the Adoption of
Measures to Prevent Future Acct
dents-Buried Here.

Coroner TAYLOR held IN inquest at 4
o'clock Yesterday afternoon upon the re-
ma;ns Of Thomas Smith. tho colored man
who was killed Friday night by jumping
of one electric-car on Main street into

stantially the same statements reported IN
the Dispatch yesterday. -,
George ID. Powell, the motor-man OF the
car ON which deceased was 0 passenger,
did not see the accident. but testliled that
his car was running very slowly.
Edward l.. Norment, the conductor OF
the same car. stated that Smith leaped of
without giving him notice or making any
sign that he desired the car to stop. he
saw the car approaching the man ana
caught at him, but could not get hoid OF
him.
WHAT THE TREASURER SAW.
Mr.. John X. Childrey, who was on the
car from which Smith jumped, corrobo-
rated the statement Of the conductor that
Smith made no sign that he wanted the
car STONED. He heard the conductor say
after the accident, My God! we have
killed mani" and saw that he was much
distressed.
Several letters were read by Major
Charles Selden. superintendent or the

partially under the influence of chloro-
form. which had been administered by
Drs. Michaux and Baker for the purpose OF
relieving the wounded man while they At
tempted to reduce the dislocatlon OF the
left thigh. He soon recovered from the
effects of this, and was conscious until
few minutes before his death. which oc-
CURED at 1910 o'clock. Deceased maze
no statement az to how the accident hap
pened He had quite severe blow on the
hack of his head, and possibly two of the
ribs on his left side were fractured ana
| hip dislocated.
VERDICT OF THR JURY.
The jury brought in a verdict that death
was caused by striking against Car No. ~,
which was passing at the time he alighted
| from Car No. IA, but that no blame what
| ever could be attached TO the motor-men
or conductors OF either car.
To prevent recurrence Of similar acci-
dents the jury urged upon the City rail
way the pressing need of providing some
means to avoid such catastrophes.
ODE BURIED HERE.
The remains of Smith will be buried to-
day by the railway company IN one OF the
coiored cemeteries of this city.
