ANOTHER DUMMY HORROR
The Market Street Railway
Company Tries a New Sam
pie Of Fender.
The Leathern Boy and Man Expert
mented Upon Horribly Man.
gIed-It Won't Do.

There was another horrible mangling OF
leather dummies yesterday morning by
the Market-street Railway Company by
way of demonstrating the non-utility OF
another new fender. The test took place
on West Mission street shortly before
noon. There were present Business Man
ager Vining, Division Superintendent
Stein and Supervisors King, Wagner,
Scully and Morgenstern.
Two dummies were provided-one a
mans size and the other that of boy.
The boy was mangled first.
The fender consisted of four strong strips
of wood arranged horizontally at dis
lance of four inches from each other and
clamped together with steel bars. The
bottom strip was covered in front by a
piece of rubber hose, and was fixed at
about six inches above the track
Back of this wooden projection was a
wire netting, and connecting with the
Others by small steel bars. The intention
of the inventor was that when the wooden
projection came in contact with an OBJ
stacle it rises and allows it to pass under,
while at the same time the wire netting is
lowered automatically to the rails and re-
ceives and holds the object.
But it did not do it. The first trial was
made upon the boy dummy, weighing
about 100 pounds. The dummy was stood
up in the tracks, and from a distance of
about fifty yards the car bore down upon
it at speed of ten miles an hour. The
dummy was knocked some distance in
front of the car, fell in the middle of the
track and then disappeared under the car.
When the latter came to a standstill,
and Mr.. Vining and the Supervisors bent
over in search of the figure in the wire
netting, it was found to have been badly
cut up, and only fragment was in the
basket and the balance was mixed up with
the gearing.
Then the 175-pound man was placed in a
reclining position across the track and the
destroyer turned loose upon it. After the
car had run it down and stopped, it was
found that he was partially held by the
wire basket, and was not badly hurt. The
experiment was then tried with the man
in standing position, and the horror that
he presented when the car had met him
and then backed away was something to
make one glad that he was made of leather
This fender, also, will not do.

malt and an aconite iniment were pro-
cured for her, and the latter was rubbed
on her chest giving her some relief. The
malt extract was taken internally.
During the evening Miss Bassoni became
restless and asked for some of the malt ex-
tract. Mrs. Waugemann poured out what
she thought was the extract, and the girl
drank it. She knew at once that it was
the wrong medicine, and an examination
showed she had taken the aconite Ini.
ment. DR.. d. Morris Harvey was at once
called in, and worked over the patient un-
til 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning, when
she died. Mrs. Waugemann is completely
Frustrated by the terrible occurrence, and
fears are entertained for her reason.
Detective Handley, who lives in the same
house, was the first informed of the acct
dent. He it was who called in the doctor
and afterward informed the Coroner. He
gave detailed account of the terrible mis-
take to Coroner Hawkins, and the body
was only kept a few minutes in the
Morgue, the return of the autopsy physi-
clan being accidental death from aconite
