John Schrann, 20 years old, vet
eran of the civil war, fell down a
fight of stairs in the quarters of Com
pany X, at the National Soldiers
Home. early yesterday morning, and
received injuries which caused his
death before he could be removed TO
the Home hospital.
Mr.. Schrann was ascending the steps
leading to his quarters on the second
floor and when near the top. lost his
balance and went headlong down the
twenty or more winding steps. When
picked up by comrades Mr.. Schrann
was unconscious. A hurry call was
sent to the hospital, but before the
ambulance reached the quarters or
Company X the aged veteran had ex-
piIed.
Examination by the surgeons at the
hospital showed tnat death was due
to the veterans neck being broken. Ii
was said that death must have ensued
within a few minutes after Mr..
Schrann fell.
Mr.. Schrann mad been an inmate
of the Home for a number of years
and was we'll liked by the members
of Company X. He served with a
Pennsylvania regiment during the
civil war and came TO this home from
Philadelphia.
AS the National Soldiers Home is
government reservation the investiga-
zion into the death of the veteran is
made by the Home authorities and
not by the local coroner. That death
was due to an accident there seems
to be no doubt.

Law, Fashioned After One In New
port News, is Recommended to
ccunci, Commute and Is Laid on
Table Until Next Session.

AT a special session of the city
council last night the several bridge
ordinances were presented and unanl-
mously adopted and the street COM
mit:ee was empowered with authority
to proceed with the necessary steps
looking to building foot bridge con-
recting Melrose avenue with queen
street and the wagon bridge connect
ing the west end section OF the city
with the business section.
IL was reported that the committee
has secured the rights of way through
the properties of Capt, Darling and
MIR. j. F. Copeland for the nominal
sum of S. each and the deeds turning
the property over to the city were
uiled with the council.
The other property owners along
the two proposed routes viii be con-
suited by the committee later and II
the necessary agreements cannot be-
reached the city will proceed to take
condemnation proceedings.
Automobile Ordinance.
The ordinance committee presented
the much talked of automobile ordi-
nance which, under the rules OF the
until the next session. The new ordi-
nance Is framed along the lines OF
the one in vogue in Newport News.
It imposes q tax OF 81 upon eacn
chaffuer and q license cannot De
granted to a boy under sixteen years
old. Each owner must secure
license from the mayor, through the
CITY clerk. and each machine must be
marked with the regulation city tag.
A sped limit of Is miles per hour Is

no faster speed than six miles an
hour is permissible in rounding the
corners of the streets. The ordi-
nance carries with it a number of

measure will be adopted at the next
session, although there may be some
change in the speed limit in turning
the corners.

bothered with eczema since. My
friends think it is just great the way
the baby was cured by Cuticura. I
send you a picture taken when she was
about 10 months old.
