MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH
ALBERT X. WILLIAMS KILLED BY
NINTH STREET CAR.
Had Long Been Prominent I'm WASH
fngtOn Business and Fraternal
Cfrcles-Funeral Friday.

A 9TH street car ran over and instantly
killed Mr.. Albert X. Williams at the inter
section of 9th and streets last night. The
accident occurred at $50 o'clock. An in
quest is to be held Thursday at IL O'Clock
at the sixth precinct station. Motorman
George H. Peyton and Conductor Julian
Talliferro of the car which ran over Mr.
Williams were arrested and held until
Coroner hewitt satisfied himself that the
occurrence was wholly accidental. They
are to appear at the inquest.
Mr.. Williams has been prominent in the
affairs of Washington for about forty
years. He came to Washington in 1862. At
the time of his death he held membership
In various Masonic bodies and also in the
Oldest Inhabitants Association. He was
native of Vermont but moved to Washing
ton from Galena, III. For many years he
conducted a book store here on Pennsylva-
street, where he remained twenty-elght
years, but recently located at No. S13 G
street northwest. His sons, Robert and
George, We're associated with him in the
u street business. The others who survive
Mr.. Williams are Mrs. E. c. Grumley and
Miss Tina Williams, daughters, and third
son, Albert w. Williams, jr. all of this
city. The family lived at No. 1014 10th
of age.
How the Accident Occurred.
He had been to a residence to which he
expected to remove today, No. 1O1 1Ith
street northeast. He transferred from the
r street line to car on 9th street, intend
ing to alight at the corner of K street
and walk out K street to 10th street. AS
the car reached X street according to the
story of Conductor Bowen of the north
bound car, he stepped to the running board.
He is then supposed to have jumped from
the car before it came to full stop and
to have landed less than five feet in front
of an oncoming train on the other track.
Motorman Peyton of the latter car saw Mr.
Williams in front of his car ard reversed
his motor instantly. The distance was too
little, however, and the car was on Mr..
Williams before anything could be done to
save him. The train was backed off the
body. When the rev of the two cars
picked 1t up the body was found to be
badly mangled and life was already ex-
tinct

Mr.. Williams was united N marriage

troubled with heart affection, was pros
trated by the news of the death, and ply
sician was at once summoned to give her
needed attention. Her condition subse-
