FATAL ACCIDENT.
George Hands Head Crushed in a
Runaway.

In a runaway accident on K street,
about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
George Hand received injuries which
resulted fatally a few minutes later.
Hand was employed by DR.. w. A.
Root and one of his duties was to ex-
ercise the doctors speedy trotting geld
ing, Boxer According to his usual Gus
tom he started out to give the animal
its daily exercise, having hitched it into
light speeding cart which was in
tended to carry only one person.
Hand, however, took Louis Meyers
with him in the cart, and drove out Of
the Fashion Stables On K street, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth, at a good round
clip. When the left wheel of the cart
struck the street railway, the strain,
owing to the weight of the two men,
was more than it could stand, and the
wheel was badly dished. The rim Of
the wheel scraping against the rail ex-
cited the horse, and he sprang forward
and had gone but a short distance when
the hub of the cart pushed through the
damaged wheel and the cart bumped
down on the axle, while the other wheel
stood the strain.
Meyers was thrown out when the axle
dropped, but Hand kept his seat and
attempted to manage the frightened an
imal, which was dashing UP K street on
a wild run.
A number of hacks were drawn up
in front of the Golden Eagle Hotel at
Seventh and K street, and as the horse
neared them it swerved towards them.

dragging axle.
Hand was holding to the reins when
the hacks We're reached, but bound of
the cart threw him too far over and
the left side of his head struck against
the hub of hack, and his skull was
crushed as though it had been an egg
shell. He was dragged some distance
further. having become entangled in
the wreck. and was picked up in a
dying condition
Chief of Police Dryer saw the acct
dent and Immediately rang up the City
Physician and his assistant, and sub
sequeatly the patrol wagon, and the in
Jured man was removed to the Re-
ceiving Hospital
The physicians could do nothing for
him, and he died shortly after they
reached him. Coroner Clark took
charge of the remains, but no autopsv
will be held.
Hand was about 40 years of age.
and is thought to have been a native of
New york. Coroner Clark last even

Many visitor has called at the Golden

to see DR.. Reede, one of the greatest
mind-readers in the United States. The
old adage, Seeing is believing" seems
to be very appropriate, if one should
listen to the stories of his many callers.
The reports regarding the extraordinary
mental gifts of DR.. Reede seem not to
have been exaggerated
The visitor finds DR.. Reede a most
agreeable gentleman, and his apart
ments are devoid of cabinets" or dark
rooms. His work seems to be far diff
ferent than the cheap deception prac-
ticed by the so-called "mind-readers'
and all fakirs of that class. The Wis
itor goes into well-lighted apartments
and is requested to write questions
upon paper, in his absence.
DR.. Reede then returns to the room.
takes the bits of paper and presses
them, one by one, against his fore
head and gives an infallible reply to
each He replies to all anxious in
quirers as man fully in sympathy
with the suffering and needs Of hu-
mainly, and many a time. during the
past few days has he told a secret sor-
row that the visitors thought thew had
