A PECULIAR ACCIDENT,
Horse and Wagon Fall Into Areaway,
Iniuring a Man.

A singular and serious accident occurred
yesterday in the north court of the State,
War and Navy Departments building.
The driver of the mail wagon of the
Navy Department drove into the court
about that hour, and fastening his horse
to a weight, entered the building to
deliver the mail. Flies or something else
made the horse restless. and in moving
about he got his legs tangled in the line.
Excited by this, he backed the wagon sud
denly over a low coping into the areaway
right on top of a laborer named James
Doyle, who was sweeping out the area at
the time.
The fall was about fifteen feet and the
horse and wagon both went over with
crash which attracted a number of people
to the scene The man and the horse and
wagon were all mixed up In the wreck Of
the vehicle, the body and cover of which
were reduced to kindling wood. When
Doyle was rescued from under the wreck
he was examined by DIR. Mclean. an en-
ploye of the department, and found to have
sustained serious injuries His right leg
was broken in two places below the knee.
his right arm was bruised and probably
fractured, his head was severely cut ana
his body was bruised in many places Sim
gular to say the horse received no injury.
Capt Diggins, chief of the force of watch
men, Immediately summoned the ambu-
lance from the Emergency Hospital ana the
injured man was taken there Tor treatment
may not be able to recover from the shock
and injuries for some time.
1t was stated at the hospital last even
ing that Doyle is doing nicely" He is
an interesting character, and Is known to
most of the employees of the State, War and
Navy departments because of his cheerful
ness and industry. He is an Englshman
by birth, and it is said that he was witness
to the celebrated charge of the Light Bril-
gade at the great battle of Balaklava hav-
ing been a drummer boy in the English
army during that campaign.
There have been many accidents to We
hicles in this same court, and 1t has long
been felt that the areaways were not prop
erly protected the surrounding coping being
about four or five inches high. That the
coping is not a sufficient protection has
been demonstrated by the fact that several
wagons have been backed over It by rest
less horses in the absence of their attend
ants. but this Is the first instance where a
human being has been injured by such an
accident. The suggestion has been made
that all danger in that quarter might easily
be averted by the erection OF a suitable
railing.
