severely bruised. The injured man was
brought to his home, at S15 Duke street,
this city, and attended by DR.. O'Brien. The
accident occurred while the engineer was

Boys Get Free Rides.
The electric railroad officials have of late
been much annoyed by boys boarding the
trains pulling out of town and riding for
some distance Last night the O'Clock
train was stopped at Spring Park in mys-
terious manner. 1t was discovered that
some youths had put the brakes on and
then eluded the trainmen. Mayor Simpson
being aboard the train, the offense was
brought directly to his attention, and this
morning he directed the officers to keen a
sharp lookout for those suspected. 1t is
suggested that should the trouble con-
tinue the railroad should appoint special
OFFICER. to be sworn in by the mayor, whose
duty it will be to stop the practice.

CONDITIONS IN PORTO RICO
Result of Observations by Agent of Ameri-
can Missionary Board.
Native-BOrn Islanders Friendly to
Americans-Resentfu To-
ward Spaniards.


Rico by the American Christian missionary
board to inquire into the educational and
religious needs of that island, has returned.
AS the result of a report made by him. a
copy of which has been received in Wash
ington the American missionary board will
at once begin active mission work in the
island. A portion of Mr.. Erwin's report is
this:
II travelled all over the island. most of
the time on horseback. The first thing I
did upon my arrival at Ponce was to buy a
horse, and he was my constant companion
in my subsequent rambles. Transportation
by other means is very high, but 1t will not
be this way very long after American en-
terprise secures foothold. There is
stage line from Ponce to San Juan via what
they call the Military road. The fare one
way is s35. There are two classes of the
welI-to-do. One of these is the native-born
Spaniard; the other is the Spaniard who
was born on the island. and is known a
Porto Rican. The children of these TWO
correspond to our better classes. The lower
classes. about 90 per cent, 1 should judge,
are uncouth and very iliiterate.
IAN the Porto Ricans. and by these
mean all the native-born islanders, whether
of Spanish blood otherwise, feel very
friendly toward the Americans. They dis
play our national colors on the slightest
provocation, and everywhere l went / was
greeted with cries of 'Americanor On the
other hand, as natural result of hostil-
ties. the native-born Spaniards are very
resentful toward US, although they do not
allow this feeling to go so far as to openly
irsult or iniure an American,
