Little Girl in Road
ST. JOHNSBURY ACCIDENT
Peter Toussant's Daughter Injured BY
Machine Being Driven by Ned
Young-Her Recovery Isn't
Certain at Present.

st. Johnsbury, Sept. 20.--A serious
accident occurred on Maple street Sat
urday, when Ned Young was running his
automobile towards Railroad street. Ma
pie street is quite steep incline and
no doubt the automobile was going az
the fun legitimate rate Of speed. When
he was about halfway down the hill,
between Main and Railroad streets, Pc
ter Toussant's little six yoar.old daugh.
ter ran out from her home and started
across the street Mr.. Young saw her
in time to escape running directly over
her, as he had the presence Of mind 20
turn the machine suddenly towards the
sidewalk; but some part OF II struck
the little girl, rendering her unconscious
in the street.
Mrs. Toussant, the mother OF the child.
ran out and picked her up, carrying her
10 the house near BY, where Drs. Me-
Sweeney and Provost were hastily sum
moncd II was found that the child was
bruised severely about the head, and il
is feared that she has suffered severe
internal injuries. On regaining con.
sciousness somewhat. the child gave
symptoms Of great pain and vomited
good deal OF blood Recovery is as yet
The automobile was thrown against
the curbing with such impact that every
spoke was stripped from one Of the for
ward wheels. and the machines mo-
mentum carried It along a considerable
distance on the hub Mr. Young evi-
IDENTIFY did his best to avoid the accident
when he saw the child. He himself es-
capped unhurt; and he says that the
damages to the car are Of no consequence
TO the injuries which the little
girl may have sustained.
II is generally conceded that Mr.
Young rms his machine most Of the
time As fact az the law allows; but
whether be was exceeding tire speed
limit on this occasion is yet to be deter
mined.

Oyster Bay, N. ", Sept 26.- -Theo.
dore Roosevelt win not compromise in
bis fight for a direct nominations plank
in the Saratoga platform. In denial
Of a report that he might accept a
compromise, he gave out this state-
ment yesterday;
THE statement that I have sonsid-

plank, is untrue | stand exactly where
have stood, and while it is true that
there are some upstate leaders who
are not with us, I believe we shall
hpye a majority with Us for direct pri-
naries"
This is taken to mean that Mr. Roose-
Welt win advocate plank patterned
on the Cobb bill, which he urged the
last legislature to pass.
The former president has been told
plainly that many delegates will sup
port him for temporary chairman, VINO
