FEDERAL COURT.
The Grand Jury Has Not Yet Reported.
Neiuinger Damage Case Opened
Several Orders Entered.

The Federal Court was in session
yesterday. The time was occupied in
the consideration of civil business.
Contrary to expectation. the criminal
grand jury did not present its report.
The jury concluded its consideration of
cases, however, and will report when
court convenes this morning. The
crowd in the court room was large all
day.
Almost the entire day was consumed
by the case of Fred. Neininger, of
Bridgeport, against the B. & o. Railway
Company. The case is familiar to
Register readers. 1t is suit for $25,-
900 damages, growing out of collision
at the Sixteenth street crossing on
Main, in which Neininger's horse was
killed and he sustained severe injuries.
Judge briggs appeared for the plaintiff,
and the B. & o. receivers were repre-
scented by Henry NJ. Russell.
Lengthy arguments were made on the
defendants motion to dismiss, which
was overruled by the Court. About
three o'clock the case was put on trial,
and evidence was being heard when the
hour for adjournment arrived.
An order of sale was entered in the
Webster Coal Company case, involving
property of the value of about $4,000.
R. H. Hilton, of Pittsburg, is the re-
ceiver.
Counsel gave notice of the filing of an
order making a settlement satisfactory
to the parties in the case of United
States Glass Company VS.. Huntington
Flint Glass Company.

CHILD FATALLY BURNED.

CHILD'S FLESH WAS LITER
ALLY COOKED--FLAMES SMOOTH
Erred BY Mr.. HENTHORNE,
WHO HEARD THE LADS CRIES.
DEATH RESULTED LAST EVEN
ING - FUNERAL ARRANGE
MENTS.

Eugene Harding, three-year-old son
of John Harding, we'll known plas-
terer living on Elm street, below Fink,
was fatally burned yesterday afternoon,
death resulting from his injuries about
nine o'clock last night.
The little fellow was left alone in a
room temporarily while members of the
family were engaged in their household
duties He stood near an open CRATE
and his dress caught ire. In less time
than is required to tell it the little fell
lows body was enveloped in flames.
His screams were heard by d. F.
Henthorne, neighbor. He rushed in
to the house, pulled off his coat and
wrapped it about the form of the boy.
In this manner he succeeded in smoth-
ering the flames, but every vestige OF
clothing was burned and the child s
flesh was literally cooked. The boy was
unconscious and suffering intense pain.
DIR. MeLain was called and arrived
promptly. He could not tell whether
the boy had inhaled the flames, but en-
tertained little hope for his recovery.
About nine o'clock last night death
ended his sufferings. Mrs. Harding is
i'll, and it was feared last night that
the shock might prove dangerous to
her.
Arrangements for the funeral were
completed late last night. 1t will take
place at three o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The bereaved parents have the sympa-
thy of the community in their sad Attic
ton.
