Park for the protection of the residents of

STRUCK By TRAIN.

John s. Edelin,, q deaf mute, who Is en-
ployed as composttor at the Government
Hospital for the Insane. met with serious
accident last night while walking along
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks
near the pumping station. He was found
in an unconscious condition, and his con-
dition indicated that ne had probably been
struck by a railroad train, although none
of the railroad employees knew of the ac-
cident. The man had a number of cuts
about his face and body. and the police
took him to Providence Hospital for treat
ment.
Edelin,. who Is thirty-six years of age.
started to go fishing late yesterday after
noon with another deaf mute. Shortly be-
fore O'Clock his friend left him to return
10 the asylum. Ten minutes later Edelin,
stopped fishing and started for the asylum,
carrying the few fish he had caught and
his fishing outfit. He is subject to at
tacks of vertigo, but he does not remember
having suffered such an attack last night.
Dhe first that was known of the affair
was when the engineer of freight train
saw Edelin, lying near the tracks.
The engineer stopped his train and left
his engine to investigate. When he found
that he was alive and unconscious he called
upon other members of the crew to assist
him, and Edelin, was taken to Anacostia
upon the train. The police We're notified
hospital in the patrol wagon. He regained
consciousness and was questioned about his
injuries, but he was unable to give the po-
lice any idea of the circumstances under
which he received them.

the start upon the return trip to the asy-
lum, saying he knew nothing more until
after he had been picked up and taken to
the hospital. His eyeglasses had been
broken and fragments of the glass had cut
his face and he seemed to have sustained
Internal injuries in addition to numerous
cuts and bruises. Policeman Weber of the
Anacostia district was sent to the scene Of
the accident to make an investigation. He
found the broken glasses and fishing rod
belonging to Edelin,. but was unable to
locate anybody who had witnessed the ac-
cident.

sion was reached that railroad train had
struck Edelin,. There was nothing found
by the police to indicate that there had
been an assault committed. Nothing had
been taken from him, and his watch was

FIRE CAUSED s7oo DAMAGES.
Blaze LAST Night in Sleeping Apart
ment on 7th Street.


Fire was discovered last night about II
o'clock in the sleeping apartment Of A, ],
Perry. who conducts photographers stu
tiIo at $50 7th street northwest. No. IA en-
line company went to the scene OF the fire,
but 1t was not until about 500 damage had
been caused that the flames were extin-
guished. Mr. and Mrs. Perry went out for
Il car ride last night. and after leaving the
building Mrs. Perry recalled that she had
left her money on the bureau. When she
returned to the room 1t was necessary for
her to make light in order to find the
money, and the fire marshal, who made an
investigation this morning, thinks that a
spark accidentally dropped in a drawer OF
the bureau and caused the fire.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Perry returned to the
house they were surprised to find that their
sleeping apartment had been practically
ruined. The damage to the furniture and
clothing is estimated at about $4o0. while
1t will require an expenditure of about $500
to repair the damage to the building.
