Shore Railroad, at Granton, North

time to follow them.
A train was now coming up from the
other direction, the little boy, stepping
off the track he was on, walked directly
in front of the engine. The engineer
the engine, but he was too close to
the boy to avoid striking him. The en-
gine and tender passed over him before
the train was brought TO a standstill
His body was frightfully mangled.
The top of the skull was torn off, both
legs and one arm severed from the body
and the trunk badly crushed.
The boys parents are prostrated with
grief His mother tainted when she

A HERO But
A DESER1ER.
Aged Widow Calvin Can Re-
ceive No Pension for Her
Son Dead in Cuba.
FINE RECORD AT SANTIAGO
But There Is an Indelible
Stain on His Military
Record-A Sad
Blow.
FINE RECORD AT SANTIAGO

Because he had at one time deserted
from the service of his country, William
Calvin, Hoboken boy, who died in
Cuba on August I, 1898, after fighting
gallantly with the Eighth United States
Infantry, left his widowed mother unable
to obtain a pension for the life he gave
for his country.
Mrs. Calvin. who resides at No. 500
First street Hoboken, did not know that
her son was deserter until Saturday,
when, in answer to a request for a pen
sion, she received a letter from the au-
thorities at Washington, informing her
that her son had at one time deserted,
thus forfeiting all her rights to benefits
from the pension fund.
The news was sad blow to her, as
she had depended implicitly upon the pen
sion to support her in her old age.
A BRAVE SOLDIER.
William Calvin was brave young sol
der. This fact is testified to in letter
which the mother received from Capt.
R. III. Wilson, of the Eighth United
States Infantry shortly after her sons
death. Capt. Wilson paid high tribute
to the young private as a. soldier, and
stated that he had on more than one oc-
casion distinguished himself in battle.
But the rules of the war and navy de-
partments are that no pension shall be
paid for the life of deserter however
brave he may be.
Calvin first joined the army about
seven years ago. He served in the
Eighth Infantry on the Western frontier.
When his term expired he decided to
join the navy for the benefit of his
health He enlisted on the gunboat
Castine, but for some reason, which he
never explained to his friends, he left
the gunboat before his term expired.
LONGED TO JOIN ARMY.
At the outbreak of the war with Spain
he longed to be with his old regiment
to take hand in the fight, and when the
Eighth Regiment sailed for Santiago he
was again in its ranks. He fought
bravely in the battles of Ell Caney, San
Juan Hill and Santiago. At the close of
the campaign, however, he was taken i'll
with fever, and on August z, 1898, he
died He was buried with al the mill
tary honors due to brave soldier.
Mrs. Calvin learned of her sons death
soon afterward. She was overcome with
grief. The letter from Captain Wilson
containing the eulogy of her son referred
to consoled her considerably, but when
she learned on Saturday that her son
had forfeited all honor because he had
once deserted, her grief could not be re-
strained.
Mrs Galvin's friends will endeayor to
interest President Roosevelt or some of
the United States Senators in her case.
