TWO CHILDREN AND
A WOMAN DROWNED
Knocked by Eiflae From a Bridge
loto the River at Mooslc.
WOMAN WAS THEIR GRANDMOTHER
She M as 'Mrs. Mary McCarthy, of
Kirst Court, South Side, and the
Children Were Daughters ot Mr.
and Mrs. Martin Kliak, or Connell
toaNews Kept From Mrs. Klink
for Fear It Would Kill Her.
A dreadful drowning accident hap
pened at Mooslc yesterday a few min
utes before noon, by which two little
girls and their grandmother met a
shocking death in the Lackawanna
river. The bodies have not been recov
ered. The woman was Mrs. Mary McCarthy,
65 years old. wife of James McCarthy,
who lives on Kirst court In the renr of
432 Pear street. South Side. The girls
were Marguerite, 4 years old, and Mary.
2 years and 6 months old, children of
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Klink. of Connell
ton. Mr. Klink Is employed as hoist
ing engineer at the shaft of the William
A. colliery of the William Connell Coal
company at Duryea. He and his wife
weie brought up on the South Side and
are well known In that section of the
city.
Mrs. Klink gave birth to a baby gin
Inst Tuesday, and the sad news has not
been broken to her for fear the shock
would kill her. But last night tha was
ill at ease and restless, nnd she told
those who came to cnll upon her thnt
she had some strange terror possessiiu;
her. Before any one was admitted to
her bedroom warning was given not to
say anything about the tnree deaths.
They are waiting until she crows
stronger. What aroused her suspicion
was her husband's coming home ex
cited from work at 1 o'clock and cluing
Ing his clothes in a great hurry.
Mrs. McCarthy left hoi- home on the
Potith Side Wednesday afternoon and
went to Connelltnn to care fur Her
daughter. The latter whs feeling good
yesterday morning with the prospect of
being able to be around In n few uuys,
nnd It was th.om.ht best that the grand
mother should take the two little girls
bnck to the South Side with her for a
week or so.
STAHTKD FOU SCU ANTON.
Accordingly the old lady dressed the)
children up after brenkfust and got
them ready for their Journey. Just ns
they were ready to start out the chil
dren kissed theit mother ami their baby
sister nnd their brother, Terence, w ho
Is the only other one of the family. He
Is about 6 years old. They were Im
mensely delighted to visit .Scranton.
From the house of Mrs. McCarthy
tlrst brought them to the store across
the river, nnd after making some pur
chases, which she sent homo with a
neighboring woman, they turned in the
direction of Mooslc to reach the street
car track. For one of her age she was
exceptionally spry and active nnd she
had no misgivings about taking the two
children out, nor was her daughter dis
turbed ohout letting them go with her.
From the Lawrence store they went
up the back road as far as the wngon
bridge, which crosses the river nt the
Lackawanna station. Then they cut
across the field until they came to the
branch of the Erie and Wyoming Val
ley railroad running up tn the Old
Forge colliery of the Pennsylvania Coal
company. The path lending through
the field brings one to a row of stone
steps running up the embankment to
the railroad. And after getting on the
railroad, about ten steps brings you to
the bridge crossing the river.
At this point the stream Is wider and
deeper than in a innjorlty of places
along Its course. The bridge Is an
overhead structure with two spans
meeting on a solid pier of masonry in
the center of the river. Standing on
the bridge It Is only a stone's throw to
the "Horseshoe Bend." A quarter of
a mile above the Spring Brook creek
forms a confluence with the river.
ENGINE STRUCK IIEK.
The woman picked the younger child
up in her arms and was carrying her
across the bridge, leading the other
one by the hand. They had reached the
middle of the bridge when an engine
ana tender came along behind them.
The noise at once attracted her atten
tion. Realizing her peril she made a
Heroic effort to grab up the other child
and step to one side out of the way.
but there Is no room on the bridge to
get out of the way In an emergency of
this kind, and the engine struck her
and sent her down Into the river curry
ing the two children along.
It Is 30 feet from the bridge to the
water and when the three went down
they were seen no more. The engineer,
who is Andrew J. Decker, of Dun
more, saw them on the bridge, but not
In time to stop the engine and prevent
the accident, and he saw them knocked
off the bridge 'and strike the water.
He only took his eyes off them long
enough to shut off steam and put on
the air brake, but when he looked
again they were nowhere to se seen and
the river swept on as before.
The bridge Is not one for public
travel, although it Is used extensively.
It cuts off a long way round for one go
ing from Mooslc over to Lackawanna.
After getting off the Pittston street car
at Butler's corner in Mooslc the travel
er usually chooses the route along the
railroad over this bridge rather than
go around the Bend.
SEARCHING FOR THE BODIES.
The accident happened at about 11.40
and In an hour the bridge and along
the river for a great distance were
lined with people. Men traveled up
and down the banks until it got dark
to see If any trace of the bodies could
be found, but their search warn nut re
warded and the probability Is that it'
may be a Ions time before they are re
covered.
The rains of this and Inst week have
swollen the river to a high point, and
tne current is strong and rough. The
river dashes over rocks and It will be
days, before Its seething settles.
Mrs. McCarthy is survived only bv
her husband and daughter. She was a
devout member of Rev. Father Motley's
parish and was highly respected among
her neighbors. Mr. Hltnk. the grief
stricken father. Is between two sorrows.
the one, the loss or his children accen
tuated by the fact that the bodies are
yet undiscovered, and the other the
dread and fear that the news will in
some way reach his wife before she
ought to hear it and that it will kill
her.
DID A GOOD JOB.
Mayor Compliments the Work of the
Street Commissioner.
Mayor Bailey, at the reouest of Street
Commissioner Kinsley yesterday drove
over the Abington Turnpike to Inspect
the repairs that Mr. Kinsley has Just
completed on that thoroughfare.
The mayor pronounces tne work
highly satisfactory and says that Mr.
Kinsley accomplished much more than
he expected was possible with the
small appropriation the street commis
sioner had at his disposal for this
work.
DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL
Edmund Williams Stepped in Front
of mm Engine.
D. L. Jones. W. E. Eldrldge. C. A.
Wilcox, W. H. Johnson, O. M. Custard,
and John H. McEachen, the Jury em

of Edward Williams, who was killed
near the Cayuga by a Dataware. Lack
awanna and Western passenger train
on the night of November 2, met In
Jones' undertaking establishment.
Providence, last night and after hear
ing the depositions of the trainmen
brought in a verdict of accidental
death.
The. testimony of the engineer and fire
man was that Williams stepped on the
track when the engine was only a few
feet from him and was not seen bv
them until he did this, consequently
they could do nothing to prevent death.

URAEMIC POISONING
CAUSED HER DEATH
So Says the Coroners Jury la the
Kelly Case.
HUSBAND RELEASED FROM CUSTODY
Witness at Inquest Could Give No
Direct Evidence of a Quarrel but
Several Testified to Statements
Made by Mrs. Keliey.-Dr. Mannerly
Ascribed Death to Injuries Kellcy
is Accused of Inflicting.
Despite the very palpable evidences
of criminal neglect and shameful abuse
the coroner's Jury last night exonerated
Michael A. Kelley for the death of his
wife which occurred Thursday after
noon at 5 o'clock under such suspicious
circumstances, as told In yesterday's
Tribune.
Deputy Coroner E. M. Pennypacker
went to the bouse in the Brick Row, on
Pittston avenue, yesterday morning
and impannelled a Jury consisting of
Dr. W. K. Keller. Louis Neuls. O. M.
Custard, Charles Helm. John H. Flack.
and Thomas Cain and after performing
a post mortem exoneration adjourned
the Inquest until H o'clock p. m. In
the arbitration room ot the court
house
At re-adjournment there was a large
attendance, many besides the witness
es being there out of curiosity Chief
of Police Robling sat beside Dr. Penny-
packer and directed the prosecution
James Cullen, a brother-in-law of the
dead woman was the first witness
called. He knew nothing of the quar-
rell's betwkeen Kelley and his wife,
which are alleged to have taken place
two weeks ago Sunday night und the
night before her death.
On election day h.t went to Kellcy's
house to induce Kelley to come out
to vote and saw Mrs. Keley sitting
In a chair mending a pair of boy's
breeches She looked as If she was ill
and a cut on her face heightened her
delicate appearance. Th dny before
she died he usaln saw her she had a
strip of llunncl tied over her forehead
When ho asked her how she came by
the cut on her head she siiid that
timing the night she hnd occasion to
come down stairs to get a drink of
water for one ot tha children and made
n misstep which cuuscd her to fall,
Witness was of the milnlon that Mrs.
Kelley Indulged more or less In alco
hol. He also saw her on the morning
of the duy she died. One of the neigh
boring women told him that Mrs. Kel
ley was very low. He went lo the
house and suggested that a doctor lie
sent tor Kelley said he haa sent, lor
one already and so witness departed
for his work.
MRS. KELLY SEEMED AFRAID.
Mary Cullen, a sister of the previous
witness, testified that she went to Mrs.
Kelly's house, Wednesday at noon, and
found her getting her husband's din
ner. She complained of pains all over
her body and that it was difficult for
her to walk. Witness Insisted on send
ing for a doctor, but Mrs. Kelly said
she didn't want one. as she was ashamed
to have anyone see her face. The hus
band was lying on the tloor, drunk, at
the time and when asked why he didn't
send for a doctor replied thnt the wife
didn't want one. Mrs. Kelly seemed
afraid, witness said, to tell how she
received the Injury on her face and
when pressed for an explanation stated
that she hnd fallen down stairs.
Dr. Haggerty testified that he was
called to see Mrs. Kelly and arrived at
the house at 3 o'clock In the afternoon,
two hours previous to the reported time
of her death. Her face was nil black
and swollen, the abdomen discolored
and distended nnd many bruises were
found on her body. She complained of
a pain in the stomach and soreness all
over, and said she felt as If her lower
extremities wero paralysed. When the
doctor asked her what was the cause
of her injuries she replied that she had
been kicked and abused by her hus
band, lie did what he could to relieve
her pain and then left, after prescrib
ing how she should be cared for.
"Do you ascribe her death to the In
juries she received?" was asked by Dr.
Pennypacker.
"I do. That Is the opinion I formed
at the time; but I may have been mis
taken," Dr. Haggerty answered.
Mrs. Sophia Durkin, a neighbor, knew
nothing of the alleged fights between
Kelly and his wife. She knew that Mrs.
Kelly was a drinking woman.
Patrick Roche heard that there was
a quarrel between Mr. nnd Mrs. Kelly,
two weeks ago Sunday night, nnd again
on the night before she died; that he
whipped her; that her face was badly
done up, and that "she was a show."
He, however, had no personal knowl
edge of any ot these things.
WAS BADLY TREATED.
Mrs. Elisabeth Schnefef testified that
she went to Mrs. Kelly's house one
week ago Monduy in response to Mrs.
Kelly's request, and found her In bed
suffering terribly. She told witness
that her husband had licked her at mid
night the night before. She was very
low at the time. She had "poor rising
we all could see that." the witness
went on to say. She never heard Mrs.
Kelly complain of any illness. She
heard nothing of the fight until Mrs.
Kelly's children called her in the morn
ing to come to see their mother. Wit
ness saw Kelly put her out of the house
several times, but not recently. Mrs.
Kelly was a good, steady woman until
about two years ago, when she took to
drink.
Mrs. Patrick Kennely, who lives next
door to the Kelly home, heard nothing
of the fights except what the neighbors
told her. Kelly and his wife got along
pretty well as far as she knew. Wit;
ness was with Mrs. Kelly just before
death came. Mrs. Kelly said to her. ac
cording to her testimony: "Grog caused
this, if I ever get well I'll never taste
It again." This was about an hour and
a half before she died.
The list of subpoenaed witnesses hav
ing been exhausted. Dr. Pennypacker
made his report of the post mortem ex
amination. The organs, he said, were
in a very bad condition, showing exces
sive use of alcohol. The kidney and
liver were in a frightful condition. Two
or three sets of vital organs were so
diseased that death would have soon
resulted at all events. The post mor
tem, he suid. would tend to show that
death was due to uraemlc poisoning.
The jury, however, would have to de
termine, he said, to what extent. If any.
Kelly's conduct had contributed to his
wife's death.
The Jury went into secret session for
about live mnlnutes and returned the
following verdice:
"We. the undersigned Jurors, find
that the saii Mrs. M. A. Kelly came to
her death from uraemia superinduced
by nlcnhollKm. While scars were found
upon her body, we do not think they
were the cause ot death."
KELLY WAS RELEASED.
Earlier in the evening, In compliance
with the statute requiring a hearing
for a prisoner within twenty-four hours
after bis nrroit, Kelly was brought In
before Mayor Bailey in the police court
room and after being formully aocu.-ed
by Chief Robling, was remanded for a
further hearing. The mayor left or
ders that in case the coroner's jury ex
onerated Kelly he should be released,
lortnwitn.
As soon as the verdict was renderpd.
Chief Robling went to the station house
and set Kelly at liberty. When Ser
geant Dciter opened the cell door nnd
told him he had been exonerated from
blame for his wife's reath he began to
cry nnd became so nervous thRt he
could not put on his coat without as
sistance. He hastened out of the sta
tion house In the company ot his young
er brother and a couple of other rela
tives who had followed the chief from
the inquest, sobbing as he went and rs i
peating aloud: "How will I ever face
home after this."
MR. CONNELL SERENADED.
