A Distressing Accident.

Lewis, the seven-year old son of Mr..
Julian F. Belts, was the victim OF q
terrible accident about five O'Clock Sat
urday evening which resulted in his
death short time after its occurrence.
The little boy was one of a party OF
Youngsters who had been spend
ing the afternoon on the sward at
Jones's Point, but who had also been
tempting Providence by swinging on
freight cars which were being backed
from Union street on the new track to
the Alexandria Brick Works, south OF
ST. Mary's Cemetery. While no one
seemed TO have witnessed the accident,
il is probable that the following are the
Haets in the case: The Union street track
turns to the southwest when it reaches
poipt near the intersection OF Lee and
South streets where an embankment
has been constructed across the marsh
living between Lee and Royal street
train was being backed in an easterly
direction when some boys who were on
the cowcatcher of the locomotive saw the
,maugled boy as the engine passed over
him. They were Mortified and jumped
from the cowcatcher, ran ahead and told
the engineer that he had run over a boy.
The train was stopped and the crew ran
hack TO the child whose life had then
nearly ebbed from his terrible injuries.
Both hands had been cut of as well as
one leg, while he had also received IN
.ternal injuries of fatal nature. The
hoy had evidently been swinging on the
car next to the engine, and either Jump
ed or fell, and in doing rolled under the
wheels. The earth is several feet above
the track on both sides, and doubtless IN
jumping from the car the little iello"
fell and rolled on the rails. Telephone
calls were sent for medical aid, but be-
fore DR.. German could reach the scene
the little boy had expired. Othcel
Knight was soon at the scene aud picked
up the remains of the unfortunate chlld,
and later they were removed to the home
of his parents on south Lee street. Inc
distressing accident cast gloom over
the southeast section of the city where
the little fellow was well.knOwn, and hi
pareuts have the sincere sympathy OF al
iu the sorrow into which they have beef
plunged. The funeral of the child tool
Mace this afternoon from st. Mary
Church. and vas attended by many rel
atiyes and friends of the family, includ
aug a number of his former school mates
The teachers and scholars of st. Mary
Pa,ochial School attended the funeral
