Norfolk. Va. June 1.-TWO women
who arrived here today from Washing
ton on the steamer Norfolk in shackles
were taken from the boat to the city
Jail. They said their names were Ona
Harris and Madeline Delacey. They
were charged by the officers of the
steamer with disorderly conduct. They
were given hearing in the police court
after which they were kept in Jail ana
later were sent back to Washington.
No one here or aboard .the steamer
knew them. Passengers on the Norfolk
said the women. who were handsomely
dressed and were in the first-cass cab

steamer had left Washington yesterday
evening. They appeared to be drinking
and became more violent in their talk

Before midnight they became so bois-
ferrous that sleep in their vicinity was
impossible. The officers thought TO
quiet them and to stop the unseemly ex

This did not have the desired effect

to them "A pleasant situation. When the
gear was opposite Lilac street Isidores
head was run over by the of hind
wheel of the gear and his young life
crushed out.
One witness at the hearing given by
the coroner thought the little fellow
was riding on the gear and fell off.Two
boys, one OF whom was on the gear

and tried to climb on To the wheel Of
the gear under which he was crushed
1t was also stated that the boy was
going from his own home to his
grandmother's home across the street
when the accident occurred.
Coroner Tuck after arguing that he
