in A SERIOUS COLLISION
I'VE CIT FIREMEN AND A TROLLEY
CAR MOTORMAN HURT.
Accident at Meridian and Morris
streets-Wagon Tongue Through
a Horse.

There was a collision shortly after S
o'clock yesterday morning between a hose
wagon from company No. 4 and Pennsyl-
vania and South Meridian-street car 561
at the corner of Meridian and Morris
streets. Frank Owens. driver of the hose
wagon, was seriously injured about the
head and body and received a sprained
ankle. James Fennernan, the motorman,
received a bad cut on the head and Is suf-
fering from concussion- Benjamin Fox
low, a pipeman, who was riding on the
seat with Owens, was hurt about the hips
and shoulders. Charles Marker, the con-
ductor. and two passengers in he car were
severely shaken up but csc d without
injury. Owens was thrown AGAINST the car
and fell under the horses. The horse which
struck the car was so badly injured that 1t
died a few moments after.
The wagon. which is stationed at Morris
street and Madison avenue. was answering
a call from Box asa. and was running at
full speed west on Morris street. The street
car was running, according to eyew1tnesses,
at an unusual speed. Both streets are mar
row, and, with buildings on the corner,
reither driver could see the other until ar
irving at the intersection OF the street
lines. Running at such speed there was
10 time after seeing the DANGER 10 asoiu
collision, the force of which may be judged
from the fact that a telephone pole on the
corner, against which the car was thrown
was at the base moved at least one inch.
The injured persons were at once taken In
charge by physicians and removed to their
homes and st. V~incent's Hospital. No IA
talities are expected.
About 3 o'clock a hose wagon. stationed
at Sixteenth and Ash streets, while an
swering a call on North Senate avenue,
collided at Capitol avenue and Sixteenth
street with a horse driven by a colored
man, the tongue Of the hose wagon being
driven through the horse. killing 1t almost
instantly. This accident was probably
caused by the hesitation Of the colored mar
in crossing the street. Two or three starts
were made. but the last one not soon
enough to allow him to get across the street.
Name of the fremen was injured.

MAYOR ARRIVES HOME.
How the Body of His Daughter Was
Found-The Funeral.

Mayor and Mrs. Taggart and Miss Tag
CART returned yesterday afternoon at 5:4O
from New Orleans, bringing with them the
remains of Miss Florence Taggart, who lost
her life in the Paul Jones disaster. The re-
mains were at once taken to the family
home on North Capitol avenue, where the
funeral services will be held this morning
at 10 O'Clock. The services will be private
and will be conducted by Rev. G. A. Carsten-
sen. of ST. Paul's Episcopal Church. There
is no question as TO the complete Identified
ton of the remains. The body was found
on an island called Grand Career, which is
nothing more than a stretch Of sand and
which is nearly covered with water at high
tide. Gulls only are found on the island,
and they were laying eggs within a few feet
of where the body was found. A large log
was between the body, which was close TO
it. and the water. and screened it from the
waves. The spray only passed over the log
and the salt water must have acted as a
preservstive, for the body was in good con-
dition- 1t was fully dressed, with the single
exception of shoes, and IL Is presumed Miss
Taggart was wearing slippers when the ac-
cident occurred. She wore her rings and a
pansy pin, in which a diamond was set, and
none of -hese had been taken from the body.
The Identification was sure, not only from
the state OF preservation In which the body
was. but from the clothing and jewelry.
Grand Career islan5 is thirty-five miles
distant from the point where the body of the
pilot of the boat was found. and 1t Is re-
markable that the body was found at all.
1t was on April "a when an honest old oyster
fisherman touched there In his boat and
found the remains. He buried them without
touching any OF the jewelry or other valua-
bles. 1t was only about a week ago that
he happened to casually mention having
found the body while he was in a small town
along the coast. 1t was printed In a country
newspaper and was noticed by one Of the
New Orleans papers, and from that city
came the word to indianapolis. The gulf I'm
is scarcely once in five years that a boat
touches at Grand Career island. as IL Is out
Of the usual path.
