70 the Editor Of The Evening Star:
On Sunday afternoon last our family
seated on the front porch, We're compelled
to witness the killing Of our pet dog, which
was on the tracks a few yards distant
The motorman saw the animal when he
reached the corner, at least fifty yards
distant. and running at rapid rate of
speed, made no effort to slow up, rather
putting on extra force as he neared the
defenseless little animal. Starting to run
the dog evidently became dazed and was
caught in the mouth by the raised ridge
OF the pretended fender and thrown under
the wheels of both cars, with the result
of broken spine from which it only lin
gered in agony long enough to secure the
prompt attention of a policeman who mer-
cifully put bullet in its heart.
The killing was witnessed by others in
the neighborhood besides ourselves, many
dlct OF all points to wanton disregard of
life. The case is but one among many
instances of similar character that have re-
suited from the Illegal speed at which the
cars are run en- P street. Leaving all
question of the suffering thus brought upon
helpless animal ard tie grief to those who
loved and valued the pet the matter merits
prompt Investigation In order to avoid fu-
ture loss Of life along the line. When the
cars reach the corner of 31st and L streets
they come across the street with such We
locity that it is almost an impossibility to
make the stop in response to a call. In
this way children and crossing vehicles of
all kinds are momentarily imperiled and
the lives of the community at the mercy
of the company.
l trust that some regulation may be
passed and strictly enforced whereby the
rapid running on the line may be brought
within the limits prescribed by law; at
least let the tenders prove some guard
against accident. Should the case attract
the attention of the authorities to the pro-
lection of man and beast, then, indeed. the
death of the little dog will not nave been
In vain. A. P. THOMAS, BIOS p street.

HE STRUCK on HIS HEAD.

COlOred JanitOr Falls Out of u
SecOnd-StOry Window.
While cleaning the coping below a sec
ond-story window at No. $40 E street,
Henry W. Green. the colored janitor of the
building, lost his balance, and, falling to
the street below, struck squarely on his
head. A number of persons who witnessed
the accident ran forward, expecting to find
.. dead body. He was apparently so when
the Emergency Hospital ambulance ar
rived, but on reaching the institution he
regained consciousness, and an examina-
ton showed that no bones were broken, and
the expected fracture of the skull was not
d1scoverable. AT the hospital today Henry
was reported as getting along nicely on the
way to complete recovery.

Frank Short of Fresno said that the
Democratic party was dead, but did not
know it. If we go to st. Louis and do
not get free silver, what are we to do?
Go to the Democratic party, which is
dead? No. Shall we go to the Popu-

we don't get free silver at st. Louis

Presentments Against the First Pre-
CinCt Election Officers.

The new Grand Jury has not en-
ployed a town-crier nor brass band, but
has been quietly at work for several
days investigating matters relating to
the city and county. Hence it was with
some surprise that persons about the
Courthouse yesterday noon learned
that indictments had been found
against the members of last years
Election Board in the First Precinct
OF the First Ward Of this city.
The persons indicted are I. j. Sim
mons, Frank Gregory, George Ander-
son, j. r. Brown and G. L. Taylor
They were indicted by the last Grand
Jury for felony, but the indictments
were set aside on the ground that the
accused were witnesses before the jury
and We're not informed of their legal
rights before testifying.
Warrants for all the persons named
were placed in the hands of Sheriff
Johnson, and in a short time they were
rounded up. All gave bail and were
released.
