The Coroner's Jury Holds That II
WINS Unavoidable.

The coroner's jury in passing upon the
case of the accident near the Benning
race track Sunday night which resulted
in the death of Thomas Blake returned
verdict yesterday that death was due to
unavoidable accident.
Blake, it was shown, was employed
about the racing stables and had just COM
pleted the loading of car Of horses that
were to be shipped to New Orleans a
short time before the accident Police
maa Bryan, of the Ninth precinct, stated
that he talked with the man after the
work was completed and that the latter
was under the influence of liquor.
A few moments later, as the Columbia
electric car hove into sight, Motornan
Anderson saw the man lying on the track
about thirty feet ahead Of him. The night
! was dark and the tracks slippery Al
| though he applied all the power of the
/ brakes. the heavy car slid over the rails
and struck the PROSTATE man before it
could be stopped.
Blake's injuries were of such a nature
that the physicians state they were neces-
| sariiy fatal, even had there been no delay
in afiordlng him medical attention. The
body is still at the morgue.

GIFTS TO THE
HOSPITAL FEW.
DONATION DAY At EMERGENCY.
Supplies and Money Less Than 800
in Value observation-disclosures
of Funds for Support
of Institution.

Yesterday was donation day at the
Emergency Hospital, but it failed to call
forth the greai and general response hop
ed for from the charitably inclined Of the
city.
Whether the drizzlins rain had dampen
ed the ardor of their benevolence, or
whether the proximity Of Christmas exer-
cised an adverse influence, the result was
that up to 4 late hour last night less than
a hundred dollars in money and supplies
had been received. The authorities hope.
however, thai today will witness an in
crease in the receipts.
Few Visitors at the Hospital.
Plans had been made for the reception
Of visitors. but those who came were few
and far between. This was unfortunate, as
there were probably many people whose
interest would have been aroused, their
synpathies enlisted, and their purse
strings relaxed by a visit Of inspection to
the institution, and q realization OF its
crying needs.
The necessity for donation day is
made apparent when it is stated that an
allotment o. only sl5.0C0 from the public
1AAl4Hh - pIoNlucu LOT inns lDSLtlQLlOn- 10
meet expenses beyond this small amount
the hospital must depend for support upon
the generosity of Individuals and the in
come derived from few private rooms set
aside for the treatment of people who are
able TO pay. But even these wards are
constantly encroached on by the charity
cases, so hampered are the hospital au-
thorities for room. The greater part of
the accidental Injuries of the District are
treated in this hospital, and each year the
demands upon the institution are increas-
ing.
The First Donation Day.
The first donation day vas on March II.
1894, and it yielded Sass in money and $500
in supplies. This amount has never been
exceeded by any succeeding donation day.
The day usually SCI aside for the receipt
of gifts from the phllanthropically in
cIined has heretofore been in March or
February. But 1t was the thought Of the
superintendent, Miss Irene B Lening. that
people would likely be more inclined to
give at some other than the Lenten sea
son, so the date was this year changed TO
December 3. When the custom was first
inaugurated the Emergency Hospital was
the only institution of its kind which
made an appeal to public generosity. Now
several Of the other hospitals have adopt
ed the custom. and the Emergency must
perforce divide with them the sum total
Of receipts.
Appeals for Aid.

The Care of Patients.
The nature Of the cases treated demands
that some of them be isolated. To do this,
and yet keep a number Of wards always
ready for emergencies, makes it neces-
sary to continually encroach upon those
/ rooms which should be set aside for peo-
pie who are able to pay for treatment.
