HORRIBLY HURT.
Thomas Williams Seriously Injured by
a Railway Train.

Mr. Thomas Williams, a well-known car
penter and builder in South Washington,
whose home is at 219 10th street southwest
was struck by a passenger train on the
Southern railway at Maryland avenue and
10th street about 11:30 o'clock this morn
ing and seriously injured. Mr.. Williams is
sixty-eght years old. He sustained frac-
lures of both legs and arms. He also re-
ceived several painful cuts and bruises
about his body. The Emergency Hospital
ambulance was summoned and the injured
man was removed to the hospital, where he
Will probably remain under treatment for
several weeks.
Mr.. Williams started from home with his
brother a few minutes before the accident
occurred intending to take an outing He
was short distance ahead of his brother
and had reached the tracks before the
gates were lowered There were two trains
moving near the crossing at the time-an
outgoing passenger train and an incoming
freight. In attempting to get out of the
way of the freight Mr. Williams got too
near the track on which the passenger
train was moving. When he saw the latter
train 1t was too late to save himself. He
had presence of mind enough to throw his
body from the track, thus saving his life.
His arms were broken by the fail. The
cowcatcher struck both his legs, breaking
them below the knees.
His brother was only few feet away
when the accident occurred, but he was
unable to avert the horrible mishap. The
brother remained upon the scene until the
ambulance arrived, and then accompanied
the inju red man to the hospital.
Mr.. Williams never lost consciousness
At the hospital this afternoon the surgeons
expressed the belief that he would recover
although his condition is serious.
