, sides and roof protecting them to a
great extent.
The neighborhood of New Mission
and Garden streets, where the accident
happened, is thickly populated and the
screams of the panic-stricken and in
jured passengers brought a crowd to
the spot at once. Willing hands at
once started to raise the car, but al
most every one was made frantic by
the cries of those under the car, and in
stead of placing the timbers in the
proper places they were sent against
the panels of the side. Three times the
wood gave way when an attempt was
made to lift the weight Finally the
proper leverage was obtained and the
car was pried partly up.
A shocking spectacle was the'- dis

his head completely severed, the up

STATEMENT OF MOTORMAN.
Motorman Kelton was among those
injured, being badly cut about the
head, but he was able to give a state
ment OF the affair.

he. LAS soon as i saw that the car

Several priests from the Mission
hurried to the spot to give spiritual
consolation to the dying and one of
the Fathers tainted at-the sight Many
of the onlookers were overcome.
The street railway here is owned
and operated by the Edison Electric
Company of Los Angeles. Experts ex-
plain the accident by saying that the
rails were not large enough for the
heavy car and its great load, weigh
ing in all about forty-five tons. and
that once it got out of hand nothing
could have stopped it, They believe
the brakes acted well and that the
motorman did all he could to prevent
the disaster.

Introduction Of Juvenile Court Bill

AAsA SSASsASA VA JbvShAS SSAAS AS1As
Last week Senator Geo. B. Dun
ham consented to introduce for the
consideration of the Senate body the
Juvenile Court bill, measure pre-
pared by Judge G. G. Cole and sane
toned by Judge Robinson of the
State Board of Control and by the
members of the Woman's clubs of
the State.
Our readers will be interested in
this bill if for no other reason at
least because of Senator Dunham's
interest in and espousal of it, hence
we give the following short resume
of its recitals.
These children will be amenable
to the jurisdiction of the measure,
Shouldn't become law: 1. Depend
ent or Neglected Children-T in
cludes those who for any reason are
destitute, homeless or abandoned, or
dependent on the public for support,
or who have not proper parental care
OF guardianship, or who habitually
beg OF receive aims, or who are found
living ii IN a house Of IL fame or with
any vicious, disreputable OF Immoral
person, or whose home by reason of
neglect, cruelty or depravity on the
pant Of its parents or guardian or
other person,in whose care it may be,
is an unit place for such child.
This definition also includes any
child under the age of ten years, who
is found begging, peddling or sell
ing any article or singing or playing
any musical instrument upon the
street or giving any public enter
tainment or who accompanies or is
used to aid any person SO doing; or
who by reason Of other vicious, base
Or illuring surroundings is in the
opinion of the court within the
spirit Of this act.
2. Delinquent Children-This
includes children under l6, who
violate any law of the state, city o,
village, or who are incorrigible, OF
who knowingly associate with
thieves, vicious and immoral persons
or who are growing up in idleness Oh
crime or who frequent a house Of
i'll fame, or who knowingly patron
ize any policy shop or place where ;
gaming device is or shall be opera
| ted.
AS the law applies only to countie
containing cities of 5000 or nor
population, Delaware will not b
provided with a Juvenile court bu
some of the provisions of the &C
touches on matters very near home
The juvenile court is given powe
to compel by execution parents ant
guardians who are able to supper
their delinquent, neglected and de
pendent children.
When any child is sentenced

which there are adult convicts the
, shall not be confined in the sam
building, ward or enclosure.
/ In selecting the institution
which children are to be committe
, the Count is to give preferences t
those representing the religious bt
lief of the parents.

The policemen in Haiti are paid by
results They get capitation fees for
all the arrests they make. AS they

follows that man is very liable to be

to pay the policeman more than the

hibitive.

Rural Carriers Assn /.

The third meeting of the Della

carriers was held at Earlville Satur-

ing number from attending. The
report of delegate, Jas. Bishop, on
the work taken up at the State Con
vention at Des Moines proved very
interesting. After due discussion
the following resolutions were adopt
ed:
Resolved: That no carrier of
this association be allowed to carry
any package free of charge, or for
less than the following prices, fixed
by the organization. For viola
ton of this law, the organization
will impose a fine of $l.00 for each
and every offense:
Small packages delivered to wag-
on, 5cts; large, lOcts.
Small packages to be collected by
carrier, l0cts; large l5cts.
Any pkg. over 20 and not exceed
ing so pounds, z5cts.
Bottles of medicine l0cts.
All errands, l0cts.
]. Az express or other pkgs pre-
paid by CARRIER, must be paid for on
delivery as carriers do not keep a
book account.
All pkgs, except express, must be
paid for by sender.
These proceedings kept the associa-
ton busy until nearly midnight and
it was thought vote of thanks a
small remuneration indeed for the
hospitality of Messers Lucas and
Cox, who kept open house for them
through this evening. Such thanks
were heartily recorded.
