was learned, however, that the acct
dent was another case of a car turning
turtle and the remarkable feature was
no one was seriously hurt. The ma
chine, large touring car, encountered
a pair of horses in a narrow part of the
road. The driver had his rens down on
the dashboard and the animals, becom-
ing frightened, dashed toward the ma
chine. The choice of two evils was to
turn to the side of the road, as this was
considered preferable to being run into.
The turn was made too far out. how
ever, and the machine turned turtle.
The windshield and mud guards were
smashed. The axles were badly bent
and the top was damaged to consid-
cradle extent. The crowd managed to
get the machine in running order and
the remainder of the journey was made
to this city without aid. When the
party arrived at the hotel DR.. C. A.
Pease was called to attend the wounds.
Some very bad bruises were found, but
no bones had been broken. Burlington

ficulty by a clever arrangement of foot
brakes. When the machine left the
hospital after getting Mrs. Flemming,
who still walked with limp, there were
in it besides Bird and the former patient,
Dorothy Flemming, her brother, How
ard, 10 years old, and Charlotte P.
Decker, who came down from Waldo to
escort Mrs. Flemming home.
AS Bird was running his car west in
Seventy-fourth street a street car was
going up Madison avenue. The driver
of the auto failed to hear the noise of
the street car until his machine was in
the avenue. Richard Sexon of No. 446
West Forty fourth street, motorman
of the car, did not see the auto until it
was almost in front of him. Then he
jammed on all the brakes, but although
Bird did the same in his vehicle the col
lision could not be avoided. The auto
was hurled to one side, and the one
armed driver and Mrs. Flemming were
tossed to the sidewalk.
There was excitement among the
passengers on the street car. Men
pushed their way to the front and rear
platforms to go to the assistance of the
motorists. When Mrs. Flemming was
lifted into the auto it was found her hip
had been severely injured. A physician
from among the passengers examined
her and said she ought to have immedi-
ate treatment. She refused, however,
to interrupt her journey homeward, and
when it appeared the other occupants
of the auto suffered only from shock
and minor bruises Bird started his auto
again and headed for Waldo. New

The automobile dashed into a culvert
and Mr.. Dillon was thrown through the

a Study in Reparation.

This bit of news yesterday caught our
attention as a remarkable case of con-
science, human sympathy and extraor-
binary sense of justice
Glens Falls, N. Y, May %. The
Rev. Thomas Grieves, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church at Green
witch. announced today he would sell all
his possessions to make restitution for
the death of little Mary Maginn of Sar-
atoga Springs, whom he recently ran
down with his automobile. The car has
already been sold, and the pastors cot
tage at Riverside is on the market.
The proceeds, he says, will be turned
over to the parents of his victim.
A Coroner's jury recently held Mr..
Greves blameless for the accident. but
he has grieved over it greatly.
1t instantly called to mind another
bit of news only week older:
New Bedford, Mass, May 23.-John
D. Archbold, vice president of the
Standard Oil Company, was forced to
tell on the witness stand today of how
his automobile had killed child years
old on July %, 1908 Since that time
the facts had been carefully suppressed
in the hospital and by the witnesses of
the accident, and only became known
through the suit begun by William De
Mello, the father of the child. He asks
for $40, 900 for the conscious suffering
of the girl and So, 600 for her death.
In his testimony Archbold said he had
applied for a Massachusetts license to
operate his car in the State and had not
received it up to the time of the acct
dent. He said he was going twenty-five
or thirty miles an hour when the child
crossed the road. AS soon as the young
ster was seen Archbold slowed down
his machine, but the girl was struck.
She was carried to St. Luke's Hospital,
where she died four days afterward.
The jury allowed S., 900 on account of
the child's death and 81, 100 for conscious
suffering.
This is not an editorial, in the ac-
cepted sense of the term. An editorial
should comment on the news and eX-
press an opinion. We give no opinion
on the instance of the preacher whose
automobile killed child and the case OF
the lti-millionaire whose car also
ran down and killed little one. New

ONE-ARMED MAN.
Mrs. Anna s. Flemming, just Out
of Hospital, Severely Injured.

A crash between an automobile driv-
en- by a one-armed man and north
bound Madison avenue car at Seventy
fourth street yesterday afternoon re-
suited in severe injuries to Mrs. Anna
S. Flemming of Waldo, N. Y, and
lesser hurts to her daughter, Dorothy,
and three other persons, including the
handicapped driver. A few minutes be-
fore the collision Mrs. Flemming had
left the Post Graduate Hospital where
she had been a patient for several weeks
suffering from broken kneecap. With
the others in the party the woman was
on her way to her home in Waldo.
Although the injuries suffered in the
accident are said to be dangerous she in
sisted on continuing the journey.
The owner and driver of the automo-
bile, which was not much damaged in
the crash, is James Monroe Bird of
Waikiki, N. Y, friend of the Flem-
mings. Many years ago Birds left arm
was injured and had to be amputated.
Nevertheless, he has been able to operate

Narrowly Espape.

st. Albans, June IL. The first seri-
GUS accident in St. Adams in several
years occurred Sunday morning on the
Swanton road when Mrs. Emery Brown
sustained fractures of both arms and
serious injuries to her back as the re-
suit of the car turning turtle into a
ditch. Her husband and two children
escaped injury.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown and their son
and daughter left the city early in the
forenoon for Swanton to visit Mrs.
Browns mother. Mr.. Brown is en-
ployed by the Atwood Suspender Com
pany and they were in the automobile
he uses in his trips about the country.
When a short distance from the city
they met team and the horses were
badly frightened by the auto. Mr..
Brown turned out to the extreme edge
of the road, which was on slight bank.
The wheels slowed in the mud and the
car turned oyer.
Mr.. Brown and the children were
thrown clear out of the machine but
Mrs. Brown was caught under the ton
neau. Her screams caused her hus-
band and the driver of the team to rush
to her assistance and the car was lifted
enough to release her She was
brought to her home in this city and a
physician summoned.
Both arms were found to be fractured
and her back was injured by the weight

Virginia Peninsula.
Newport News, Va. June IL. Sweep:
ing out of the southwest with cyclonc
velocity, wind, rain, hail and electrical
storm struck the lower end of the Vir-
ginia peninsula late today and left a
trail of death and ruin. Tonight it is
difficult even to estimate the number Of
dead for many small craft went down in
the storm at various points along the
James river and in Hampton roads.
Conservative estimates placed the dead
at not more than Is.
None of the bodies have been re-
covered and nothing here is known of
the identity of the missing people as
most of them were fishermen from dis
tant counties along the James. Great
havoc was wrought in this city, houses
being uprooted and trees, wires and
telegraph poles being blown down.
Half dozen vessels moored at piers
here broke away and nearly all were
damaged.
Rough estimates placed the property
loss and damage at upwards of $780,
900.
SO many live wires fell in the city
that it was necessary to cut off all
electric current and the entire PENN
sula, including Newport News, Hamp-

Lights Match After Crash With
Car lgniting Gasoline.

Pinioned beneath the wreckage of his
large automobile, after it was wrecked
by city bound car of the Great Falls
and Old Dominion line at Westmore-
land street, near the Aqueduct bridge,
Harry w. Mitchell, 80 years old, a we'll
known business man of Georgetown,
was burned to death last night while
passengers of the street car and scores
of other spectators looked on unable to
rescue him. OF the four other occu-
pants of the machine, three escaped
severe injury, while Fred Kitchen
trumpeter of the Fifteenth United
States cavalry, was fatally hurt He
was taken to Georgetown University
Hospital, where physicians operated on
him shortly after the accident without
result, he dying shortly after treat
ment. Corpl. Castor and Private Will
liams, of the Fifteenth cavalry, and
Walter Hillary, II years old, of Rosslyn,
Va, were the other passengers in the
automobile.
When the big touring car carrying
Mitchell and his companions to this city
reached the car tracks, on emerging
from Westmoreland street, the entire
party was singing. Suddenly the
machine was struck with terrific force,
and pushed, turning over and over,
more than 200 feet down the track.
Hearing the means of man under the
wrecked machine, an unknown person
struck a match, evidently intent on
freeing the unfortunate Mitchell. I'm
mediately there was an explosion, and
both automobile and street car were
afame.
AS the flames leaped into the air
above the blazing machine, men women,
and children looked on in terror, and
saw the imprisoned man burn to death

Cant anybody save him." cried a
woman. She swooned and was carried
away. Her cry seemed to loosen the
awe-stricken tongues of other women
and men in the crowd. Several women
and children, almost hysterical, were
hurried away from the scene.
In the meantime the alarm of fire had
been sounded, and the engines from
Georgetown responded. The fremen
were too late to save Mitchell, but they
saved the street car from being de-
stroyed.
While the firemen We're eXtinguishing
