A NEGRO BOY KILLED.
Thrown Under the Wheels While Tr,
ing to Get on a Freight.

Thrown Under the Wheels While Try
ing to Get on a Freight.
A negro boy-Charles Warren, II years
old-yesterday paid the penalty of jump
ing on moving train ''just for ride"
with his life.
This morning he lies dead at the Rex
Hospital; with both legs off at the knees.
He died yesterday afternoon.
Ire second section of the Seaboard
through freight, No. %, south-bound,
was just pulling out from Jonston street
yesterday afternoon about 3 O'clock. It
was a long train and had gotten up con-
siderable speed, when Warren, who was
standing beside the track, attempted to
board one of the freight cars, as has
been the custom of himself and num-
Der Of other boys for some time.
But somehow he missed his hold, was
thrown violently to the ground, his legs
lying across the track. Only one car,
however, passed over him. AS the Sec
ond one came whirling by he drew his
legs from the track, one Of them hanging
by only small piece of skin, and sat
by the road side until the train passed.
He was at once taken to his mothers
house, which happened to be near by.
From there he was removed to Rex Hos
pital and his legs amputated.
He did not live long after the opera
ton. The shock had been too great.

WHAT IS A SAILING SHIP?

The average IanGsman may be sur
prised to hear that there is doubt as
to what constitutes a sailing ship in the
eye of the law. This question was
raised in London the other day before
a divisional court of admiralty. Mr..
Commissioner Kerr held that a barge
which had jury-sail up to assist the
rowers was sailing vessel, and held
her in fault for a collision which oc-
Cured in Barking Creek between her
and a sailing barge, on the ground that
she could and ought to have kept out
of the way. Her owners appealed, and
it was cOntended on their behalf that
she could not reasonably be considered
as a sailing vessel, because a vessel
could only be a sailing vessel when it
could comply with the rules laid down
for sailing vessels, such as lacking to
port and starboard. Besides, if she were
a sailing vessel she would have to carry
sidelights, and canal barge with side
lights was a thing unheard of. The
court did not think it necessary to de-
eide this point, because the appellants
barge, having a motive power Of two
knots, could be kept out of the way by
porting, and so dismissed the appeal
with costs. The judges added that when
the question of what was a sailing ship
came to be decided it would have to
be very carefully considered, as there
were a number of important points to
be determined.

FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.

Washington, March 1.-Today the
bill to prohibit the transmits
sion Of detailed accounts of prize-fghts
by mail or telegraph led to a very lively
skirmish in which prize-fghting was
denounced on all sides and the advO-
Gates of the bill insisted that the "sick-
ening details" should be suppressed in
the interest of good morals. But the
bill met with the most strenuous Oppo,
sition on the ground that it would tend
to establish a censorship Of the press.
No final action was taken. The
senate bill to test the merits of
the patent postal card of the Economic
Postal association was laid on the table.
The sundry civil bill, the postofice
appropriation bill and a number Of
other bills were sent to conference.
The house agreed to the conference
reports on the St. Louis bridge bill,
and the bill to protect national military
parks. The bill was passed to provide for
the transmission to Washington Of

enteen sovereign states had their citi-
Zens in the lire Of parade ard over six
" civil organizations helped swell its
magnificent proportions. Forty thou
sand persons witnessed the ceremonies.
The line of march Of the parade was
longer than usual-full four miles in
length. AS the SUI rose in the morn
ing there was a smooth, steady breeze
straight out of the northwest which
held the myriads Of flags flying over
the city out at their full length and
brought just enough frost in it TO slim
ulate the circulation of the early risers.
Everybody agreed that it was an ideal
Inauguration day as far as the weather
was concerned.
At 1915 the mass of humanity packed
around MIR. McKinleys quarters at the
Ebbitt house and parted right and
left before troop A OF the Ohio national
guard, the famous black horse troop O.
Cleveland, which clattered up and
formed in waiting for the president
elect. Maj. Mckinley entered an
open carriage drawn by four wine
brown bays and the Cleveland troops,
their black bearskin sbakos nodding,
fell in behind. In the carriage with
Mai McKinIey was the senate commit l.
tee of arrangements. It was only a
step around the corner to the white
house, but the procession moved slowly
enough to give the crowd a good view
of the president-elect and he was
cheered vociferously. 1t was 1920
when Mr.. Mckinley, accompanied by
the senate committee, consisting OF
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1897-03-11

Senator Sherman and Senator Mitchell,
drove up to the north front Of the
white house. Maj. Mckinley and his
party, entering the rCtunda, was a.
once shown into the blue room, where
they were joined Immediately by Pres
ident Cleveland and all the members
Of his cabinet with the exception o.
Secretary Olney. Gen. Miles and Ad-
miral Brown and Capt. Davis and
Lieut.. Sharp, aides, joined the presi-
Dental party. Soon the presidential
carriage, with its four foam-fecked
bays, rolled down the avenue to the
rear Of the cavalry squadron, the pres
idential party having entered as soon
as all was ready.
President Cleveland with Maj. Nc
Kinley On his left leaned back with a
smile On his face. He looked pleased
as we'll as contented, but he did not
return the salute of the crowds on
either side. When the first cheer
arose, Maj. Mckinley was the one to
raise his hat in acknowledgment. He
looked pale, noticeably so, and his
eyes were dark and deep set beneath
his overhanging brCws. There was a
quiet, certainly sad and almost stern
look about the well-molded head and
frm-set mouth suggesting the grave
responsibilities about to be assumed.
With the president ard Maj. Mckinley
in the carriage were Senator John
Snowman tho iy70nnoinu IF
state, swathed in a big overccat with
q high fur collar, and Senator Mitchell
of Wisconsin. Behind the presidential
carriage, riding in solitary state, was
John Addison Porter, secretary to the
president elect.
In the third carriage were Attorney
G~neral Harmon, Secretaries Lamont
and Carlisle. The fourth contained
Postmaster General Wilson and Secre-
taries Francis and Morton and the
sixth and last Gen. Miles and the
Numbers of the staff. The black hose
troopers with their handsome hussar
uniforms and shining black horses
were given even a heartier ovation
than was the presidential party
Following the Cleveland troop came Col
Cecil Clay, commander of the District
of Columbia national guard, with a gilt
tring staff and jingling escort Of aides.
Thus the party, between two lines CT
humanity, moved to the capitol.
AS soon as the senate had adjourned,
after Vice-President Hobart had been
sworn in, the senators formed in process
sion, and President Cleveland and Presi,
dent-elect Mckinley, arm in arm, led
the way to the east front of the capitol,
where the big stand had been erected.
Five hundred seats had been reserved
for distinguished guests, while the i'm
