 An inquest to determine the cause of death will be held tomorrow after noon at o'clock at the city hall be- fore Coroner R. s. Maclay.
 When the accident occurred the street car was going north on c ave nue. The automobile. Ford touring car. was going south Owing to the paving work being uncompleted on the west side of the 1900 block on G avenue it was impossible for the auto to take the right side of that block as it came south However. when Thirteenth street was reached Grif- fin crossed over to the west side. He made the turn a little too short. for the left wheels of the car fell into the depression between the street car track and the paving. a rut nearly foot deep. The auto stopped, accord ing to Griffin, who at the time of the collision was making an effort to drive the car forward or backward. Men Thrown to Pavement.
 According to Griffins statement this morning, the street car was about 75 feet from the auto when the auto crossed the track and was com ing slowly He thinks Motorman Thompson thought he could pass the auto without striking it. Cornell and Wright were sitting on the front steps of the stret car and were knocked to the pavement by the auto. Appar- ently they did not realize that col lision was imminent, or else did not see the auto, for they failed to get up from the steps.
 The lenders of the automobile were torn off and the car otherwise dam aged, though it was able to leave on it's own power after being. lifted out of the rut, following the accident. h the auto with Griffin were Bob Lee and ;. T. Hood, both cattlemen, and Deputy Sheriff Charles E. Cross, Lee received a cut under the left eye from 9 flying missile.
 There were a number of witnesses to the accident, including several sol diers on the street car These have ben summond to testify at the coro- ner's inquest tomorrow
 Shock to Comrades.
 When the news of Lieut.. James Councils death reached the Fourth regiment shortly after o'clock this morning, it caused profound grief, for "Jim," as he was familiarly called when military etiquette was laid aside, was one of the most popular and lov- able men in the regiment. His home was in Hoboken, N. J., where he was in business as an architect When the regiment was called out, he liter ally sacrificed his business to re| spond to the call of his country Lieut.. Cornell was a man of about 90 years of age, and was happily married and had one child, He was promi- nent member of Our Lady of Grace R. C. church of Hoboken, and an active member of the Holy Name society of that church.
 In the Fourth regiment Lieut. Con neil held the position of battalion ad- iutant, and in it's duties he was never found wanting He delighted in the guard mounts of which he was the of ficer. A more companionable, more amiable and better fellow was never known in the regiment When the word came over the phone that Jim had passed away many or his com rades broke down and shed tears. Col. Geo. T. Vickers, the regimental commander, at once telegraphed the sad news to the widow in Hoboken, who. it is believed. was about to leava for Douglas when the message was re- ceived. Colonel Cickers, Major Jo- seph M Rector, the senior medical of- 1 ficer of the New Jersey bridage; Chaplain J. Madison Hare, and Capt. Samuel A. Cosgroye, regimental sur geOn, were at the hospital when the end came Everything that medical and surgical skill could do for Lieut.. Connell was done. and all the spiritual comfort that could be given by Dr. Hare and Father ROselle was given to the dying soldier. whose last thoughts were of his wife and child, 2'- 800 miles away.
 On the trolley car at the time ol the accident to Lieut.. Connell and : Lieut. Harry C. Wright. were Capt. 1. William A. Baker. of Company 5. and Seirgt. Arthur w Clayton, of the supply company. both of the Fourth regiment. the latter being a friend
