Mr. Toy was working for ONutt y
LalSin and Rinard on their Lumbar
Road and was loading logs at the point
above mentioned. All went we'll til
the last load and the last log, which
was rolled off a high bank ana struck
SO heavily on the edge OF the tram-car
that 1t threw Toy OF his feet, aud his
head struck on the bumpers of the car
with great force, rendering him uncou-
scious. he was carried into the Club
House and feceived medical aud sur
gical attention from two PHYSICIANS
tron- Pittsburg, who were there for "A
vacation. The injured man has been
unconscious most OF the time siace
and was sinking rapidly at last reports.
His wife and children were scut fernnd
are with him. The skull was evidently
fractured and the blow produced con.
cuSsion OF the brain, and no homes
were entertained for his recovery He
became conscious for little while and
begged them not to let has wife know
of IT, as she was in delicate health and
he feared the shock would be too much

At all hours of the day and night she goes
about the streets that surround her home

in her neighborhood. All know her, re-
spect her and look upon her as their friend.
She is known as an angel wherever she

Her instruction is of the most practical
nature, for it embraces teaching mothers
and daughters how to sew, that they may
care for their own garments, and how to
cook, that the seant supply of food may
be properly prepared. Then supervising
the studies OF the children, clothing them
to attend school, the care OF the sick and

sEcoND-sroRy ROBBERS.
The Police Very Anxious to Get
Some Clew to Them.

The authorities are cxerting every eff
fort to run to earth the second-story rob-
bers who have been operating in the north
west for the last several nights. A new
robbery was perpctrated Saturday night,
as told in The Morning Times. In this case
the house OF william X. Carr, No. Alb X
street northwest, was entered through a
second-story window, over back porch.
Miss Cleary, relative of the family, lost
So in money and jewels valued at about
Sl2, by the theft.
THIS case was similar to one reported to
tile police about a week ago, where the
robber escaped without booty. 1t is prob
able that the two jobs were done by the
same person, and the police are likely to
capture the thief.
The detectives think there is no con-
nection between these thieves and the
bold robber who entered the house or
Mrs. Packer, on Q street, and made way
with bag containing nearly $4,000 worth
of Jewels This robbery was evidently
done by a professional who is supposed
to have gone to some other city 10 dispose
of his plunder None of the stolen articles

mrs. O'REILLY Is ACCUSED
The Wife of Mr.. ClevelanGs Doctor
Under a Cloud.
she Is Charged With Obtaining
Goods Under False Pretenses.
Friends Deny the Accusations.

One of the New York papers published
Yesterday morning a stUry in which Mrs.
Robert N. O1leilly, wife Of the physician
to President Cleveland, was stated TO have
secured goods from merchants in this
city, having them charged 70 various peO-
pie, and that the bills were eventually
paid by Or. o'Reilly. The specific cases
occurred last year, when. it is alleged,
owing to the discovery of MIS-. o'Reilly as
the person who obtained the goods, she
LEFT the city for the summer.
The details OF the story dlh,ge that quite
recently Mrs. O'Reilly left tins city TO go
to Annapolis, ostensibly tOsee her son, "A
cadet there, and that the next thing heard
OF her she was in Europe, the news OF that
fact having been sent to DR.. o Reilly by
cable by Miss Bessie Hudson, friend or
the doctor, VINO, with her niece. Mrs. Nor
ton, was on her way to HavTe, both OF
these ladies being unaware at the begin
ming OF the trip that Mrs. o Reilly was on
board with them.
Dr. O'ReHly, on receiving this lnforma-
ton, obtained a three months leave OF
absence, and has gone to Europe TO meet
his wife.
one OF the gentlemen whose names were
used in the article as having had goods
charged TO them 10y Mrs O'Reilly is Gen.
McKeever Gen MCKceycr was called on
He said that he was surprised TO see his
name and that OF Mrs. McKeeyer used In
this connection. All he knew about the
charging OF goods was that on one Occa-
sion there was some things on his bill
which he had not placed there. He caAed
on Woodward & LothrOp, who at once
struck off the item, which was to the
amount OF about S2S. MesSrs- Woodward
x Lothrop did not say who made the BILL
nor had he any information that the per-
son vas Mrs. O'ReiIly.
Another person, a friend Of Dr. and Mrs.
O'ReiIly, said that ne regretted the put
licatfou, inasmuch as il was full of mis-
statements, which ne would not specify.
but which he said DR.. O'Reilly would at
tend to when he got back from Europe
Mr. 8 W Woodward. Of Woodward &
Lothrop, was asked las night II he pT
any member OF his establishments had given
any Information making Mrs. Okeilly and
the person who is said To have got the
goods identical He said that he had not
given any such Information nor hadit come
from his firm.
