TOO LATE TO sToP THE CAR.
Eddie AIIsworth Very Badly Hurt
Oh the lexington Line.


on the lexington Line.
Eddie Allsworth, the little seven-year-
old son of Charles p. Allsworth, residing
at No. 623 Thirteenth street northwest,
was seriously injured under the wheels
of an lexington street car on G street
near Thirteenth north west about $50
O'Clock last evening.
Exactly how the accident occurred no
one seems to Know, but according to the
bystanders at the time 1t appears that
little Eddie was playing III the street
in front of DR.. Atkinson's office, near the
railway track, when car No. 40 came
rumbling down the street.
The little boy, not noticing the car,
backed on the track, but it was not until
the horses had struck him that Driver G.
r. Simms saw the lad. 1t was then too
late to stop the car with the brakes.
Little Eddie when struck fell on the
track, but fortunately rolled off, although
the heavy car wheel passed over his left
wrist.
The injured lad was placed in Dr. Atkin-
sons carriage and taken to the Emergency
Hospital. 1t was found that the child's
wrist had been horribly lascerated and
crushed, his back bruised and sprained,
and he received probably serious internal
injuries. The left hand will have to be
amputated owing to the splintered con-
dition of the wrist, every tendon and nerve
having been severed.
The little sufferer bravely withstood the
tedious operation of the hospital surgeons
without a whimpeI, while his father stood
by and later the little patient was removed
TO q ward.
Edward Bassatt Allsworth, which is the
injured child's tull name, is the nephew of
D. H WashbuIn, proprietor of the Rochester
Hotel

CONVENT GIRLS IN VIRGINIA

They Spent Sunday Night at Farm
House Near st. Asaph Junction.
Belle Hunt, Eva Meyers, Kate Flapni-
gan, and Tillie Henry, the four girls who
escaped from the House of Mercy Sunday
night, as told in yesterdays Times, were
seen yesterday in Alexandria county, but
have not yet been apprehended by the
police
Early yesterday morning the son of Mr..
William Dodson, who resides rear st.
Asaph Junction, arose and on going down
stairs 10 get some wat-sc he found the
girls sitting on the steps OF the house.
They asked aim TO allow them TO stay
there until daylight, and he did so. They
Ia: Mrs. Dodson that they had just run
~ way from convent in Washington, and
had walked. adj the way TO her home that
night
They remained until after breakfast
yesterday morning, when they started
out, saying that they were going TO look
for work. Nothing has been heard of
them since.
Superintendent OF Charities Tracey made
an investigation of the escape OF the girls
yesterday afternoon and then reported
the matter 20 Inspector Hollinberger, and
asked the aid OF his detectives in getting
the girls back.
They went 10 the House OF Mercy originally
of their own accord, voluntarily, and ac-
cording to the rules of the institution they
could have left if they had stated such a
desire.
Col. Tracey was of the opinion that the
girls received help from outside in making
their escape, as one Of them had been cor
responding witl- some one by slipping
notes under the fence.
The girls are wearing the dresses of the
institution, which gives the police the
right to arrest them.
About a week ago young man named
James Mcdonald was found asleep in the
yard OF the institution in the morning, and
on the night previous noise was heard
as though some Que wers trying to escape.
Mcdonald was arrested and tried i'll the
police court, but was released

SAUSAGE MAKERS STRIKE
Nicholas Auth's Employees Will
Not Work Long Hours.
They Accuse Him of Being Opposed TO
Organized Labor and Say He
s-- Has Deceived Them

Nine of the men employed by Nicholas
Auth in his sausage mathfactory on Yir-
ginia avenue between Sixth and Seventh
streets went on strike yesterday morning,
and half dozen OF the number absolutely
refused 30 return to work unless their
employer would give them more money and
shorten the timeinf n days work.
Ever since Mr.. Auth moved his factory
into the city from its site on the Bladens-
burg road there has been a spirit OF dis
satisfaction brewing among his employees.
They claim that out in the country they
were given their board, ard that Mr.. Auth
promised that when the move into Wash
ington was made, though they would have
to board themselves, he would increase
their wages,
This, the men say, he absolutely refused
to do. The wages paid, they declare,
ranged from SO to $40 week while the
work lasted from fourteen 10 sixteen
hours a day.
on last Saturday the men decided that
they could DO longer afford to work so
long for the money given. They agreed
that they would work no more than twelve
hours a day or would denaud extra pay for
over time. When Il representative OF the
workmeu visited Mr. Auth 10 lay the
matter before him. it is said he was told his
services Were no longer required.
After reporting the result of the inter-
view to his associates the emplOye and his
co-laborers decided To quit work yester-
day morning. Nine of the meu, said to be
the last employees IN the factory, went out.
Mr. Auth is SAID to have then gone to the
men and on promise that they should re-
ceive more pay got three of them to come
back. In the place of the other six he en-
ployed men who had never before worked
in the factory.
The employees Will now renew their
charter in the knights of Labor, which has
been allowed to" go out of effect, because
of their relations with Mr.. Auth, who, it
is understood, is vehemently opposed to
organized labor.
