run OVER BY A STREET CAR.
Mrs. Mary Doyle Probably Fatally
Injured.

Mrs. Mary Doyle. the aged moth
er OF Mr.. John Lyons. was bad
~ injured by being run over by
a Habersham street car about ]
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. On account
os her extreme age. nearly 80 years. there
is reason to fear that the accident will
result fatally.
Mrs. Doyle was crossing Habersham
street at Harris when she was struck by
the car. She was thrown down and 10
one side, one foot, her left, being caught
under the wheels and terribly crushed.
Mrs. Doyle was picked up and carried 10
the residence Of Mr.. John Mclaughlin,
while the conductor, J. L. Cameron, ran
for physician. DR.. J. =. Read responded
al once He gave such remedies as could
be used 10 relieve the shock and then
had Mrs. Doyle removed to the residence
OF Mr.. Lyons, on Bull street. 1t was
FOUND necessary 10 amputate the foot
about midway between the ankle and the
knee, the operation being. performed by
Drs. Read, Boyd and Charlton. Her con-
dltlOn was such that she was unable TO
give any account OF the accident.
Car No. 80 of the Savannah. Thunder
bolt and Isle Of Hope railway struck Mrs
Doyle. Philip p. Mason was the motor
man. He was taken to the barracks by a
policeman, who came up shortly after the
accident occurred. Mason said that while
approaching Harris street he saw an old
a car, as he thought. AS he came nearer
she started to cross the track and he be-
gan ringing his bell. The lady paid no
attention and then being quite close he
put on the brakes and reversed the motor.
The car slowed down, but he saw that
he would strike her. anyway Mason
leaned forward as the car touched Mrs.
Doyle and pushed her from the track
She fell 10 one side and the front wheel
passed without injuring her. In falling
however she threw out her left foot
which was caught under the rear wheel.
The car came to a stop within few feet
after passing, and he then rendered every
assistance in his power. AS the circum-
stances appeared to prove the correctness
OF Mason's account he was not placed
under arrest.
As Mrs. Doyle's hearing and eyesight
were both impaired by age, il is believed
that she neither saw nor heard
the car and was probably
unaware OF it's approach The ac-
cident is very sad one, and caused gen.
eral expressions of sympathy and regret
wherever heard. The injured lady is re-
ceiving the best of attention, but recov-
cry from the shock at her age is hardly
considered possible.
Mr.. Lyons has been very unfortunate
in his experience with the street cars
a little son having had a leg cut off by
a Whitaker street car about a year ago.

COMMISSIONER LOGAN OUT.
His Resignation From the Fire Com
mission in the Mayors Hands.

His Resignation From the Fire Com
mission in the Mayors Hands.
Mr. Hugh Logan said yesterday that
he had rendered his resignation to Mayor
Myers as a member of the fire commits
sion. The only reason given by Mr.. Logan
when asked his reason for resigning, was
that his duties as a fire commissioner re-
quired more time than he felt able to
spare from his business, and finding this
to be the case he had decided to resign.
Mr.. Logan was asked If it were true
that he had resigned because of being at
outs with the other two members of the
commission. He said there was nothing
in this.
1t is stated on very good authority.
however, that Mr.. Logan disagreed with
the other two members of the commission,
Messrs. Grayson and Nell, on the Ques-
ton of some recent changes in the de-
partment. and being dissatisfied with their
action in the matter decided to withdraw
from the commission. Mr.. Logan's resig-
nation was not read by Mayor Myers
at the meeting of council last night An
effort may be made to have him with
draw IL.
The fire commission has decided to let
Foreman McFarland and Steinberg swan
places. Foreman Mcfarland is to be
transferred from No. 5, on Henry street.
to No. 3, at headquarters, and Foreman
Steinberg Will go from headquarters to
No. 3. The change will go into effect
Sunday, March /, at noon. 1t is not posi-
lively known that it is the reason, but
understood, that the change is made on ac-
count of Foreman Steinberg's poor health.
Mr.. Mcfarland has been in charge of No.
5 for several years, and the people in that
section are very much opposed to having
him transferred elsewhere. They will
get a good man in Foreman Steinbere
Other changes of minor Importance are
said to be in prospect.
