Express Wagon.

Mr.. George W. knox's heavy express wagon
"Goliah' passed over and almost instantly
killed a child about o'clock last evening near
Sd and ID streets southwest. The child was Bertha
Lambert, the five-year- -old daughter of Engineer
Lambert of No. Engine Company in South
Washington. Mr.. Lambert lives at 329 ID street.
near where the fatal accident happened, and
the child was playing in the street at the time.
The driver, colored man named George W.
Smith, has been in Mr.. Knox's employ for
a long time and is considered a
good and careful teamster. The wagon, which
is an unusually heavy one, was loaded with iron
and was being drawn by four horses. Bertha
Lambert was in company with a number Of
playmates. and as they were running across
the street the driver called to them to be care
full. thinking he would warn them of their
danger. The girl, however, ran against the
team and the front wheel passed over her
breast. killing her almost instantly.
The driver stopped his horses and offered to
do what he could, but the poor little child was
dead
Policemen Espey and Herbert escorted the
driver to the police station, where he was held
over night for Investigation.
The police say that the affair was purely ae-
cidental and they do not think the driver will
be blamed.
Coroner Patterson viewed the body and be-
gan an inquest this afternoon at 3 clock.
