 GlIespies Remains.
 The body of J. l. Gillespie. who died at St. Vincent's hospital yesterday morn ing at 8 o'clock from the result of in- jures sustained in the wreck at Thir- teenth street and Ninth avenue, was sent to Morris. The remains were accompanied to their last resting place by the father brother and other relatives of the de- ceased
 A sad feature connected with the death of the young street car conductor was the fact that he did not know of his wife's injuries before his death. Gillespie was mortally injured by a Frisco switch engine running Into car of which he was conductor. Later In the night, while his wife was returning from St. Vincent 8 in company with his brother, car ran into the carriage in which they were seated, at Third avenue and Fourteenth street. Mrs Gillespie was conveyed to St. iVincent's to have her injuries treat ed, but the patient was not allowed to see her husband. The physicians and nurses in charge feared that distressing news would imperil his condition. As a result the conductor died without know ing that his wife was injured. 4urs. Gll- lespie has not yet been notified of her husbands death.
 Mrs. Gillespie was not able to leave the hospital to accompany her husbands re- mains to Morris. Her condition is about the same as Wednesday night. D. w. Gill lespie, the brother of the dead man, Is still confined at St. Vincent's. His in juries are more severe than at first sup posed. Q
