The Coroner Views Sprague's Body.
Coroner hewitt visited the scene of the &C
,ident a & soon as no loo rnad 90 +bo 1o,.l =.


Coroner hewitt visited the scene of the ac-
cident as soon as he learned of the death of
Mr.. Sprague and inspected the tracks. He
also went to the Homeopathic Hospital and
learned something of the injuries he re-
ceived. The coroner was told that his in
1uries were necessarily fatal 1t was not
certain that there was a fracture of the
Skull, although there was a severe injury to
the brain. The victims shoulder had been
badly crushed by the weight of the car and
three ribs had been broken. After consult
Ing Captain Boardman the coroner decided
to swear a jury over the body this after
noon and to take the testimony at the
morgue Wednesday morning The jurors
were sworn this afternoon, in order that
the body might be turned over to the family
OF the deceased without delay. The de-
ceased was about forty-five years old and
leaves widow and six children. He had
been employed In the government printing
office a numberEpf years and was prominent
In labor circles. having been a member of
the grievance committee of the Central
Labor Union. Arrangements for his
funeral have not yet been made.
Hundreds of anxious inquiries have been
made at the hospitals ans police stations to-
the accident. Exaggerated reports of the
affair were circulated about the city and
much uneasiness caused. Some of the re-
ports had II that twenty Of the passengers
had lost their lives, and people who had
relatives living at the suburban villages
displayed considerable anxiety about them.
People who were seen by Star reporter
said that the car was making fast speed
when 1t approached the curve.

Motorman Badly Frightened.


Motorman Colvin was a badly frightened
man. He was in an exceedingly nervous
condition when seen ny a Star reporter
shortly after the accident occurred. AS
soon as he succeeded in getting off the car
he went to the barn and sought help. The
men in the barn and those of the passen-
gers who had not been injured worked hard
to assist the more seriously injured ones.
The first message of the affair sent to po-
lice HEADQUARTERS gave the informa ton that
half a dozen or more passengers mad peen
killed and asking that ambulances and pa
troll wagons be sent to the scene. Another
report had it that a Baltimore and Ohio
train had been derailed and had fallen upon
one of the street cars. Captain Boardman
sent the patrol wagons from the second,
eighth and ninth precincts. One of the Dis
trict ambulances and similar vehicles from
the Emergency and Freedmen's hospitals
also responded. Railroad officials learned
of the affair a few seconds after the car
left the track, and 1t was through them
that the patrol wagons and ambulances
were upon the scene so soon. DIR. F. V.
Brooks. one Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company's surgeons, was sent to the
scene of the accident because of the report
that one of the trains of that company was
involved, but reached there too late to be
of assistance to those who had been in
jured.
Many police officers from the three pre-
cincts responded with their wagons and did
what they could for the victims Precinct
Detective Burlingame of the eighth pre-
clnct picked up several pieces of the broken
f1ange and kept them to be used in evidence
at the inquest. Traffic on the road was not
delayed to any extent, for those who had
received only slight injuries and those who
had not been hurt were brought to the city
on car few minutes after the wreck &C.
Cured Employees of the company started
the work of removing the wrecked car from
the street early In the morning and Cap
tain Boardman had the police photographer
visit the scene and get photograph show
ing the tracks at 4tb and 7 streets and
some distance west on 4th street over
which the car passed just before the trucks
left the tracks. This photograph will be

Motorman Arrested.

Motorman Colvin said that he was not
exceeding the legal speed, and, as already
stated. denied that he was running I'M
usually fast to make up the few minutes
the car had lost.
THE fog was so thick" he said, that
could not see far ahead and thought I was
farther away from the curve than I was
When / saw the car was so near the
curve / did the best / could to slow down,
but the brakes worked hard and the car
jumped"
In response to an inquiry he said he re-
manned at his post until the car went over
and was unable to understand why he was
not hurt. He did not get a single scratch
about him and was able to get out of the
pile of debris and assist those who were
injured.
One passenger on the car who did not
get hurt was C. w. Smith of Rives sta
ton. He said he was in the car on his way
to work and thought nothing of danger UNI
til he realized that the car had left the
tracks. 1t was then too late to jump or
do anything in the way of getting out of
danger. All he could tell of the affair was
that the people in the car were thrown In
heap, and they climbed out the best they

their clothing causing them to imagine
that they had received injuries. THOSE
who were unable to get up because of their
serious condition added to the horror OF
the affair by their loud groans and appeals
for help. All the seats in the car had been
taken and many passengers had to STAND,
and it is stated that there were over sew
enty-five persons on the car. Several OF
them were upon the platform when the car
toppled over Motorman Colvin and Con-
ductor Cecil remained on the car and made
no effort to jump. Although the motorman
was in the vestibule and the big glass win
dows in front of him were smashed he did
not receive scratch. The conductor also
escaped serious injury.
The Only Victim Unconscious.
Mr. Sprague was caught beneath the
wrecked car and so tightly held upon the
asphalt pavement that it was with diff
Guilty that he was taken out. He was the
only victim of the accident who was UNI
conscious, although Mr.. Alfred Thomson
was in a dazed condition and Mr.. Senarts
condition was not much better. Despite
the fact that Mr. Thomson was In THIS con-
dition. he resumed his journey to the gov
eminent printing office and reported LOT
duty. His leg was sprained ana ne was
bleeding from his nose. There was some
indication of internal injury, and Mr.. Us
car J. Ricketts,, foreman of the ONCE, sent
him to the hospital in his private carriage.
The doctors found that his injuries were
not serious, and it was not necessary Tor
him to remain at the hospital. Most OF the
others who were treated at the Emergency
Hospital were able to leave the institution
after their injuries had been dressed. Mr.

Fine Show Tonight.

"The Parish Priest" is a dra-
matte gem Of the first water. Like
the diamond, it sparkles, no mat
ter which way you look at it. 1t
pleases all those who care for
comedy, with situations in plenty
for others who delve deeper and
care for the dramatic side OF life.
It teaches men and women to be
honorable and charitable with
each other; in fact, produces a
dramatic picture seldom equal
ed. The character of Father Wha-
len presents a manly, unpreten-
tious Irishman, with a simple sin
cerity that is effective and admir-
able. There is no straining for
stage effects, but instead a quiet
reserve force that never fails to
bring him his reward. He is he
roic without bravado, honest
without saintism, and the pure,
artistic air Of naturalness per-
meates his healthful play. At the
Auditorium tonight. Seats on
sale at McCoy's Book store until
7 p. m. this evening.
