St. Paul daily globe., 1895-11-18

tie Hoffman filled the cup of sorrow for
A. w. Hoffman, a grocery salesman
living at 1908 Pearl street. She was the
last member of his family. His wife
and son Harvey, the latter aged seven,
were taken from the river last night.
The little girls body was found lodged
against the bank of the river. Her
little hands were filled with spIinters
from the wrecked car and her baby
face was badly bruised. When Hoff-
man realized what had happened to
him he became bereft of his reason.
Rushing to the river he plunged in and
tried to drown himself, but was res
cued by friends who took him away
and tried to comfort him.
The final Identification of the body of
Curt Lephene by his stepfather, Prof
Charles e. Clements, today, disclosed a
romance. Lephene's mother was an
English girl Several years ago she
went to Berlin to study music and
there she met and married a German
army officer named Lephene. Four
children were born to- her and her hus-
band died. Last summer she met
Prof. Charles E. Clements and the two
became engaged. Prof. Clements was
a teacher in a. musical school in Ber-
lin, but he obtained AN offer of a posi-
ton in this city. He came to Cleve-
land and Mrs. Lephene followed him
here, arriving only last month, with
afterward. Curt, who was fourteen
years old, was her eldest son.
FIFTEEN DEAD IDENTIFIED.
The number of victims was increased
to fifteen today by the discovery of
two more bodies in the river. All Of
the dead have been identified, but four
been on the ill-fated car as it made the
awful plunge are still missing, and
there seems to be no doubt that their
bodies will be taken from the bottom
of the river when the heavy iron
trucks Of the wrecked car are raised.
One of the bodies found today was that
of little Gertie Hoffman, aged four
and a half years, who was going home
from the store where her father was
employed with her mother and brother.
The child's body was found lying
against the bank of the river some dis
tance below the scene Of the accident
and was identified soon after being
taken from the water
The other body found today was that
of Louis Huletz, a mail carrier, aged
twenty-six years, who lived with his
wife at 3S BREWER street. His head
was split open from the forehead down
to- the chin, and there is no doubt that
he was killed before the car settled
into the water.
One of the unidentified bodies was
that of Miss Marie Mitchen, a German
domestic employed at house on Bell
avenue. She was twenty-one years of
age. Another body identified was that
of Mrs. Martha Palmer, a dressmaker,
