ALEXANDRIA, Va, May Is, 1907.
William, the six-year-old son Of Mr..
Michael Creegan, was struck by q north
bound electric train Of the Washington,
Alexandria and Mt. Vernon electric rail-
way yesterday afternoon about o'clock.
Both his legs were almost severed, and he
was otherwise injured. The little fellow
was conveyed to the Alexandria Hospital.
and his death is momentarily expected.
Owing to the shock sustained it was
deemed inexpedient to amputate the limbs
last night. Today, however, 1t is feared
that gangrene may set in, and as last
resort an operation will be performed late
this afternoon.
Immediately following the accident, John
Barker, motorman, and Richard Acton.
conductor of the train, were taken in GUS
tody by Policemen knight and Garvey.
They were released late last night for their
appearance in court, after being given q
preliminary hearing before Justice Cation.
Bond was fixed at 81, 600 each. Mr.. Martin
+. Greene qualified as surety. Barker and
Acton will be arraigned in the police court
tomorrow morning at o'cfock before JUS
tice L. 81. Thompson to answer a charge
OF assauHing and wounding the boy.
The accident occurred almost opposite
the home Of the boy. He had Just been to
the hall Of the Young Mems Sodality Ly-
ceum to call his father to dinner, and was
attempting to cross the tracks, from the
east side, when he was struck by the car.
When the conductor and motorman were
arraigned before Justice Cation last night
Commonwealth Attorney Samuel G. Brent
was present,

Will Have To Pump Some.

At the last meeting of the Town Trus-
tees Mr.. Wilhford. line man for the
towns water system. reported that the
apparent water supply will be insutti-
cient in about four weeks, which will be
the last of February or first of March
Some pumping will be necessary thru
out the month of March. but for only
part of each day. This will be little
unpleasant for Delta people, as we have
become so accustomed to the delightful
quality of Doughspoon water that moth
ing else can be substituted without at
least causing US to frown more or less.
That it will be necessary to pump at all
is no fault of the city officials. They
had water pipe ordered and expected to
use it in tapping large spring 1000
feet from the main pipe line, but manu-
facturers were slow in filling the order
in the first place and the railroads were
equally delinquent ia delivering it. In
consequence of these delays the pipe
did not arrive until December and there
fore cannot be utilized until spring. The
large spring above referred to would
have given US an ample supply of water
thruout the winter.
The Board contemplate laying a pipe
line to springs at the head of Alkali
creek, distance of 2.S miles and which
would add materially to the supply.
City officials are to be congratulated
on the good work accomplished during
the past year in perefecting the system
and that it will be necessary to pump
but part of the time for one month prior
to spring is due to their diligence and
foresight and effort to make ample pro
vision to avoid such contingency.
