Instantly killed near Germantown juno
ton on the New York division Of the

their way to Montauk Point. John Pull
ask and P. Byrnes. two other privatcs
in the same command, were seriously
hurt. The dead soldiers We're taken off
the train at Germantown Junction The
injured We're brought here.
The command was coming from Tampa,
Fla. The train left Gray's Ferry, Paila-
deipnia. at 2:40 o'clock. and while il WAS
approaching the bridge at Ridge avenue,
in the northwestern part of the ~eity,wiiere
a crowd Of sightseers was assembled 70
watch it pass, the a~rtillerynen responded
from the open windows and platforms to
the greetings of the throng. The bridge
is supported in the centre by a row Of
iron pillars between the TWO inside or
freight tracks which pass under he
bridge.
Private Tensey was standing on a plat
form waving his hat to the people on the
pEIuSc- lie ulu ltUt StS LIE hoA piit1A
which the train was swiftly approach
ing until h was struck by it and knocked
from the train a corpse. The other three
men were leaning out of car windows and
dcdged. But there were severai iron pill

put their heads out IN time to strike the
second one. Chichester's skull was crush-
ed and he died instantly Pulaski had his

The train was stopped at Germant[n

that the law of Pennsylvania required
that bodies of all persons killed in a
railway accident should be left within
the limits where the death occurred for
investigation by the Coroner. The artil-
moved from the train. The conductor
ran the train on a siding and held It there
for ar hour. The officer finally gave in
upon representation from city police
officials, and permitted the bodies to be
removed. He refused to allow the injured
men to be taken to a hospital in Phiia-
delphia, and the train then proceeded on
its way.
J. H-Haverstick, an accident agent on
the New York Division of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, made an examination 81
all the facts in the case and carried an
official report Of it to Division Superin-
tendent Brooks.

THREE CHILDREN HURT.
Thrown From a Wagon in Which
They Are Put for Safety.

Matthew, the three-year-old child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Byrne. of Monmouth and
First streets, was so badly hurt yesterday
afternoon in a runaway accident and had
to have seven stitches put in his head,
seems to be Improving today and his
parents say there is a good chanc of
his recovery.
The accident was peculiar. Mr.. and
Mrs. Byrne own a grocery store at the
above mentioned streets and yesterday
afternoon, it being so warm, Mrs. Byrne
put her two babies in the covered wagon
that stood in front of the store on the
Monmouth street side. They were in care
of their older brother John. who is
thirteen years of age. The children were
enjoying themselves immensely when
some one of the mischievous Boys in the
neighborhood threw a banana peel at the
horses head and he started to run away.
The children at this time were on the
seat of the wagon and although the old
est boy did all in his power to stop the
frightened animal he could not get suffi-
,cient control of him.
At the corner of Brunswick and First
streets the three children were thrown
to the ground by the wagon eolliding
pickedSup by a number of men who had
started after the runaway and it was
found that the youngest one of the lot
was hurt the worst and the other two
children We're bruised and cut consider
ably.
Mrs. Byrne, when notified that her
baby was seriously hurt, ran to
~Cavanagh's drug store, one block from
her house, to get a doctor, and when she
returned She found that she had lost s3S
tha she had tied in a handkerchief. Her
husband had just before the accident
given the money to her to pay the
grscer'S bill. The harness on the horse
Is ruined and the wagon is smashed in a
number of places.

BRUTAL JAMES DAILY.
Man Who Beat His Mother As
aaultad a Chinaman.

Bicycle Policeman Nicholas Clemenson,
of the Ocean avenue police station, about
a month age, arrested James DAILY, of No.
81 Chestnut avenue, for brutally assault
ing Harry Young, a Chfnarnan, who keeps
a shop at Summit avenue and Academy
street. Clemenson. since then has been try
ing to find the Chinaman in order to have
him make a complaint against the
prisoner, but has. been unsuccessful.
CIemensen says that the Chinaman has
gone out of town. DAILY was arraigned
before Justice Nevin and was admitted to
bail.
The morning Clemenson arrested DAILY,
he had been to court and was walking
dow Summit avenue. He saw DAILY kick
ing the Chinaman, who lay bleeding on
the sidewalk in front of his shop. Glenn
enson pulled Daily off and he showed fight.
but was soon quieted. The Chinafnan was
attended by a doctor, but failed to put
in an appearance in court. Clemenson
has since learned that DAILY dragged the
unfortunate Celestial from his laundry
because h refused to give him laundry
without a check and that some time ago
he was sentenced to six years imprisoa-
ment for beating his mother.
The officer will make another attempt
to locate the Chinaman today.
