 Died This Morning.

John and James Sinnott Returning to Their Home on the Cheshire Road When the Accident Happened-The Dead Man Was Well Known and Had Host of Friends.
 John and James Sinnott, sons of Bernard Sinnott, met with serious accident Saturday evening while on their way home from work at the spoon shop. The family lived for years on Dublin street and later removed to the Hackett building on East Main street, where they remained until last July, when they went to live at sum init station about three miles beyond Calvary cemetery The boys contin- ued to work in the shop, going to and from the factory in team which they kept for that purpose. They quit at o'clock Saturday evening and drove to Gallaghers grocery store on Or chard street where they bought ] ham and some groceries and then headed for home. reaching East Main street by way of Niagara street. Coming down the steep grade on Niagara street. the horse showed signs of be- ing anxious to make quick time, but no particular notice was taken of the animals conduct until they reached Calvary cemetery where there is q slight incline at one point in the road. Here the fact dawned upon the occl- pants of the team that the horse was running away and an effort was made to hold him in. James, the younger of the two boys, was driving, and John tried to help him get the horse under control Both c1ung to the reins and succeeded i'll keeping the horse on the middle of the road until they reached the junction of the Cheshire and Scott roads, where there is q sharp turn on the way home. They tried to head the horse along the Cheshire road, but be- ing accustomed to taking the other course, the animal forced it's way around the corner and in making the sharp turn one of the wheels collided with clump of bushes. causing jar which threw the occupants out, John landing on his head and James falling on top of him. The horse went on with all the speed there was in him.
 John received two bad wounds on the head and was rendered uncon- scious. James sustained a fracture of one arm at the wrist and was cut on the head. He was dazed, but re. covered quickly and was standing over the prostrate form of his brother when Morris Reed came along and assisted in taking the injured man into the Blackburn residence. near Wedges corner. the next house to the scene of the accident.
 In the meantime the horse had made it's way home and dashed into the yard i'll manner which at once at tracted the attention of the family. Upon investigation it was shown that the carriage contained a ham and some groceries and hat belonging to one of the boys. This was sufficient to arouse the suspicious of the family that there was something wrong, and without waiting to consider the matter their sister, Miss Lizzie Sinnott, start ed out i'll search Of the brothers. She expected to meet them at every turn of the road, but in this she was disap- pointed, still despite the darkness of the night and the lonesomeness of the long country road. she pushed on until she came to the Blackburn residence, where she found one of the brothers unconscious and the other with q broken arm. The sight was enough to drive q girl out Of her wits, but she bore it with remarkable fortitude and rendered such assistance as was in her power. The accident happened about twenty minutes of six and shortly af- ter Dr Donahue. who had been called by telephone, was on the ground and rendered such medical aid as was ne cessary at the time. It was decided to send John to the hospital and he was taken there in Moriarty's ambu- lance where he died at 3 o'clock this morning. He never regained conscious ness.
 Acting Medical Examiner Graves viewed the body and rendered yer dict i'll accordance with the facts as stated in this article. The body was taken to AIulville's morgue. The time of the funeral will be announced later.
