He went to Nicaragua to take position as fireman on San Juan River steam boat, and in few years he became en- gineer, and by gradual steps rose to the position of chief engineer of the line.

A FATAL ACCIDENT
RESULTS FROM A CHILD PLAYING IN THE
STREET.
Run Over BY an Electric Street. Car and Died
Soon Ahsr-Srack by Train.
Other Casualties.

Yesterday afternoon about 12:45
o'clock very sad accident occurred on
the line Of the Bridgeport Street Rail-
way Company, on Broadway, near the
new steel bridge over back river, in
EtnaviHe. As result two year old
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Ecker
was so severely hurt that its death
occurred few hours later.
As car No. 10 of the Bridgeport line,
in charge of Conductor McClearey
and Motorman George Wakelr,
was coming down the grade from
the bridge the motOrmsn noticed
the little ons playing next the track,
and thinking 1t was out of danger, did
not slack speed. Just as the car was
crossing the street the child started to
cross the track, and before the motor
could be stopped, it had struck the lit
tie fellow, Knocked him down and
dragged him along for a couple OF car
lenkthS.
Motorman Walker stopped the car
as soon as possible, and jumped
of and took the baby from under
it, but the child had already re-
ceved fatal injuries He was taken
TO his home a short distance away and
Dr. Fisher, of Bridgeport, summoned,
who did all in his power TO relieve his
sufferings, but all to no avail, and at
ten mintes Of four o'clock he breathed
his last.
The car wheels did not pass over the
chids body but pushed it along the
track, crushing and bruising IL about
the head and groin.
The general opinion is that the motor
man was not to blame for the accident,
as he did all in his power to
check the car when it was evident
that the child could not get out Of the
way ia time TO avoid being struck, The
place where the child was hurtis said by
the street car men to be one Of the most
dangerous along the line, and ii is a
wonder more children are not injured,
as the little tots are allowed to play
about In the street and even on the car
track.
While the REGISTER reporter was
over there yesterday afternoon it was
noticed and remarked by a gentleman,
OF number OF little ones who were in
the street playing, several of whom
ran across the street directly In
front Of an approaching car and one OF
them narrowly escaped being struck.
When Motorman Walker returned to
L.,
another man put on. IL is not likely,
however, that he will be arrested as the
occurrence was evidently accidental.

POLITICAL.
IContinued from First Page. !
senator Rirs second speech.

BINGHAMToN, n. Y, October "a
Senator Hill tonight made his second
attack upon the Republican party.
Besides reitersting the sentiments az
pressed at Syracuse, he said:
II embrace this early opportunity to
express my sincere appreciation OF the
loyal and cordial support which is given
the State ticket by those who have here
tofore differed with me in re-
gard to inter-party affairs, especially
in the rural districts of the
State. With entire unanimity those
who have been generally regarded as
the especial friends Of the national ad-
ministration have earnestly wheeled
into line and are performing valiant
service, and l should be unjust to them
as well as unjust TO myself II did not
acknowledge their generous action.
They seem TO realize more keenly than
do some Of our party friends in New
York and Brooklyn the absolute neces-
sity OF party unity in the, present
emergency, Involving as it does
the very existence OF the Democratic
party, They are Democrats as we'll as
reformers and believe in reformation
within party lines. They realize that's
Republican victory in New York will
strengthen the forces OF protection
everywhere and imperil all that has
been gained and accomplished during
the past for the cause OF tariff reform.
In so far as the Lexow Committee In
New York are honestly and i'm partially
endesvoring to discover police abuses,
bid them God speed in their good work.
There has been no effort to embarrAss
them upon the part OF the police com
missioners, the sheriff or any other
official.
The recent Republican constitutional
convention, although loudly asserting
through its very able presiding officer
in his opening speech thai II was TO be
non-partlsan In its character, while
finding time TO incorporate In their
proposed amendments every scheme for
partisan advantage which presented
itself or which their ingenuity could
devise yet could find no time to en-
brace therein any provision authorizing
the veterans at the soldiers home TO
vote at general elections.
This refusal Of a Republican constl-
tutional convention TO enfranchIse these
voters virtually placed them In the
same category as lunatics, idiots and
paupers, who are also deprived OF suf-
frage.
