BOY CRUSHED
UNDER WHEELS
Loaded Wagon Passes Over
His Body.
FELL FROM HEAD WAGON
William Minard, Victim of
the Accident.
Drivers With Whom He Was Riding
Did Not See the Lad Fall and No
One Witnessed the Horrible Acct
dent.

William, the nine-year-od-son of Mr..
and Mrs. James Minard, of No. 1854
Kenton avenue, was instantly killed
by being run over by tile wagon
from which he had fallen while rid
ing along the Prospect pike south of
this city, this morning about 8
o'clock. The accident shocked the
nejghborhood in which 1t occurred
and added horror is given 1t by the
uncertainty as to just how the ac-
cident came about.
Shortly before o'clock this morn
ing, j. G.. Powelson and E. Lucas were
driving along the pike, hauling tile In
two heavy wagons and the child was
riding with them at the rear of the
front wagon. The men were both
seated on the front seat of the wagon
belonging to Powelson, who was driv-
ing, when Powelson looked back and
saw the lad lying along the road side
as II dead. Investigation was made,
and 1t developed that the child had
fallen from the wagon and was run
over by the rear wheels of the head
and both wheels of the rear one hav-
ing passed over his BODY. As is GUS
tomary with some drivers, both men
were on the front wagon and the team
of the second wagon was following
without IL driver.
The injured lad was Immediately
carried into the farm house of ]. T..
Smith, near by and Coroner w. III.
Hinklin was summoned. A number of
the neighbors gathered and the child
was given as much attention as pos
sible, but with a single gasp he died
before the arrival of physicians.
1t appears that the child had been
in the habit of going with workmen
in their work daily and when he saw
the wagons pass his home on Kenton
avenue, he resolved to go with them.
The drivers made no objection, with
the result that he rode to the Smith
farm, where the fatal accident oc-
Cured. The accident was seen by no
one in the vicinity and the drivers are
unable to state how 1t came about.
They were talking over various mat
ters as they were driving along and
were unaware of the pranks of the
lad about the wagon. He had ap-
peared much interested in the team
following the main wagon. and 1t was
doubtlessly while his attention was
distracted by the horses that he lost
his hold and fell to the ground.
The examination conducted by Cor
oner Hinklin shows that the lad suf.
fered a crushed breast, a bad wound
on the back and a badly dislocated
| spine. Death came very shortly after
the accident. The dead body was re
moved to the home of his parents on
Kenton avenue shortly before noon
| today.
| The child was the youngest in a
family of six children and was a
manly lad. Aside from his parents
who survive him are three brothers
George, who is located in Chicago
Ore nand Jack Minard, of this city
Two sisters also survive. They are
Mary of Cleveland, and Iva, who re-
sides with her parents in this city.

ECONOMY IS
COMMENDED
City Departments Finish
Very Well.
SURPLUS IN SOME FUNDS
Service Board Praises It's
Employees
Heads of Departments Have Done
Good Work And Have so Far Tided
the City Over Some Serious Finan-
cial Ruts.

The economy which has been prac-
ticed by the board Of public service
during the past six months, has made
some remarkable results for the close
of the fiscal year and the members
of the board are very much pleased
over the matter. In the various de-
partments rigid economy has been
used, and in each department is
shown neat sum remaining after the
expenses have been paid.
According to the reports as they
are now made out, the board has the
sum of 1894 left on hand. This is
very unusual as the funds of the 9TH
er boards are well depleted.
At the meeting last evening, Mem
ber Anthony congratulated the Of
ficers of the various departments for
their falthfulness to duty. In the ap-
preparation for street cleaning, which
was exceptionally low for the past
six months it was shown that n saw
Ing of large sum has been made and
that there remains $2s5.2O in this de-
partment George Blum was very
highly credited for his work by Mr.
Anthony, and his good work despite
the cut on his appropriation with
good sum left, was the subject Of
much praise.
In the health department good
sum remains, and this, too, with the
statement that the hearth Of the resi-
dents of the city has never been
better.
In the parks there has been little
| expenditure, and Mr.. Balm was con-
graduated on this fact.
Mr.. Anthony made special refer
cnce to the engineering department,
where by having Mr.. Dwyer do the
work without an assistant good sum
has been saved during the past few
weeks. Mr.. Dwyer was thanked by
the board for his efforts at economy.
Judging from the results of the
| practical economy the service board
will be enabled to carry on its work
| for the next six months in fine
4 shape and with the close of its work
next January a very good showing
will have been made. The board of
service will be more after the first of
the next year and the good showing
is especially pleasing, 1t is estimated
that there will be plenty of money
for all of the various works of the
| city, with the exception of the money
needed for the registration next fall
For this work the sum of 800 must
be borrowed.
