ACCIDENT TO DR.. PALMER.

Noted Presbyterian Divine Perhaps
Fatally Injured In New Orleans.
New Orleans, May 6.-Dr. b. M.
Palmer. the noted Presbyterian divine,
considered at the head Of the southern
church, met with terrible accident
yesterday afternoon.
Although "a years old, he was very
active and went about everywhere. He
was crossing St. Charles avenue, near
his home and saw a trolley car com.
ing along. AS two ladies' were at the
corner, he supposed the car would
stop, so he continued his way. The
ladies made no move and the car con
tinued at full speed, striking the ven.
erable minister and dragging him
some distance.
He was carried to his home uncon.
scious, and it was found that one leg
was broken, one foot mangled and his
head gashed. He recovered conscious
ness later, and the physicians at his
bedside found him in much better con
dition last night than anticipated, al
though on account of his age there is
still much danger.
