William sechrist Accidentally Killed.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star


HYATTSVILLE, January 81, 1906
William Sechrist, seventeen years OF age,
met horrible death at Cheltenham sta
ton. on the Pope Creeks railway, shortly
after o'clock Sunday evening last. Ac-
companied by colored boy named John
Hawkins, he boarded the passenger train
at cheltenham and rode to Brandywine.
On reaching the latter place the fast
freight was about to leave and the young
sters decided to return to Cheltenham on it.
, Sechrist rode between the cars near the
rear, while Hawkins was on the back end
of the train. When the train reached
Cheltenham twas going at the rate of
fifty miles an hour, 1t is said, and Hawkins
leaped into a large drift OF snow and es-
capped serious injury. Not so with the Be-
christ boy, however. He attempted to jump,
but the current from the fast-moving train
apparently drew his body back, and he fell
headlong on the track, striking his head
squarely an the frog Of the switch, crush
ing out his brains. He lived but a few min
utes. and his body was removed to the
home Of his guardian, Mr.. A. H. Sechrist,
near Cheltenham, and was today removed
to Pennsylvania for fnterment.
The young man was general favorite in
the community.

Thomas Parr, 'the DID, old, very old man

such incidental facts, the following may be

successive leases, Of twenty-One years each,
for dwelling: or sixty-three years, and
then renewed the lease for life. The last
lease terminated after more than fifty

the same house. after ne reached maturity,
of more than 113 years.
This longevity was' hereditary In the
family Of 'tOld Parr." His SON lived to the
age of 113, his grandson to 100 and his
great-grandson to 124. There Is no substan-

man or woman in a community who
passes the century mark and sometimes
doubles the three score and ten. It is a
mysterious question of certain quality Of
vitality beyond the common, an aggrega-
ton Of chemical elements combining in GER
tain selected individuals at long intervals.
Brain seems to have nothing to do with de-
veloping 1t any more than genius for
longevity has to do with developing brain.
The greatest minds, the phenomenal,
meteor-like genius, very rarely passes the
meridian of life. While the man with
phenomenal vitality, like Thomas Parr. is
noted only for his physical vitality. Our
modern scientists and ethical philosophers
have not yet reached the mystic secret of
great longevity. The most they can yet do
Is to hold out the hope that all who are
born Of woman may reach three score and
ten by means Of sanitation and sumptuary
laws. But that will not be in our day.
