A Child Run Over.
Last evening, about o'clock, Phoebe
the little S-year old daughter of Edward
| Gill, living at 1s2 Amherst street, was run
| over and seriously injured. She, in COM
pany with n young brother was crossing
Florence street on an errand, when team
driven at fast rate came along and,
knocking the girl down, inflicted severe
cuts about the head and face, injuring the
knee and generally orally shatteripg shaft Eg,o,ae her
and unless the child is injured internally,
recovery is assured. DR.. H. w. Farrell
cared for her and left her comfortable.
The name of the person driving at the
time of the accident has not yet been as
certained, as he drove on without word,
except sentiments of derison expressed in
nection with the affair The little girl is
deaf. the result of an attack of scarlet
fever a short time ago, hence was unable
to hear and avoid the approaching danger.
1t does not often happen that anyone
running over another person, leaves his
victim to suffer without expressing a
word of regret, and it occurs still more
rarely, when n man seems to ignore the
fact that he has made fellow-being un-
dergo pain through his negligence. 1t
would seem advisable to investigate and
find out who ran over the girl and take
stringent measures against him.
A Special Meeting Of the Oineyvilie Cadets.
The Olneyville Temperance Cadets were
Yesterday, contrary to their expectations,
allowed by the town council license TO
carry on a public sparring exhibition in
stead of a private one, which their petition
originally called for. They are in conse-
uuence elated, and their program will
now be so arranged that ttheentertainment
will prove one of the liveliest and most
scientific events of the season. A special
meeting OF the organization will be called
next Sunday afternoon To discuss the situ-
alton and arrange for the contests.
All the previous affairs of this kind
given by them have proved a success. Not,
however from financial standpoint, as
they were strictly private for members and
friends only. This time the club proposes
to replenish their Golfers by charging an
admission fee, the affair to be open to the
public.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon q
horse, belonging TO u. :, Magoon, became
frightened on Olneyville square and bolted
oil up plainfeld street, striking horse
car on the turnout. In the collision one
of the shafts was broken and considerable
damage done TO the harness.
