'atal Accident on the Electric Railway. k GHILD WAS THE VICTIM Knocked Down When Trying to Cross tha Truck In Front uf the Car I In Doily Terribly Mangled Yet It Sai-vlved fur Fifteen Mlnu.tr. A dreadful accident occurred on the West Coal street lino of tho Schuylkill Traction Company Inst night, resulting In the death of Andrik Bender, tho five' yenr-old eon of Andrlk and Hvn Bender. As car No. 127, with Thomas Kinney as motor man and William Dooley as con ductor, was making a trip over tho flats at the west end of Coal street, running eastward, the unfortunate child made dash across the track and before he could get out of the way the car struck him. As the child fell beneath the wheels the motor mnn seemed poraljzed by horror. lie exclaimed "Oh I oh 1 1 oh I 1 1" as he turned oil tho power and applied the brakes. The child was frightfully manoled. the wnseis passing over tne lower nari ot tlio Abdomen and almost cutting tne body in twain. Notwithstanding the terrible nature of the Injury the child lived fully fifteen minutes nfter tho accident and when picked up from the track he looked auout nppsanngiy. Tho parents of the child were almost distracted by grief. Tho sight of the victim ami tue nnguisn or tuo parents so worked upon the crowd that assembled that the men In charge of the cur deemed it advisable to leave tho place and they proceeded on their journey to the stopping place on Malu street. The motor man then turned tho car over to another employe of the road and returned to uirnruvuie as u passenger. Meanwhile the child had been carried to the home of Its parents, which was directly opposite the place where the accident occurred. He was n line, robust little fellow and evidently a favorite of the neighborhood. It was remnrkable that he survived the dreadful accident for an instant. The affair caused considerable comment on the method of running the electric cars in that section of the town and the more the matter was discussed the stronger the desire became to make an attack upon the motor man on the return trip. The men on tho car evidently nuticipatcu mis, lor in running uocKtney passed the place at such a speed that no one could get on the car. The story of the motor man is that his car was running at a speed of from five to six mues an nour. mo child was slttlntr on a mound of earth coverinir the recently lam water pipes, pinyingwituuirt. When tho car was about four or five feet away the child sprang towards tho track. Tho car struck him and knocked him back against the mound of earth ; rebounding, the child rolled upon the track between the front and hind wheels of the car. The motor man is sustained bv several eye witnesses of the accident In the state ment say that the car was not running at n fast rate of speed. Moreover, it is claimed that the cars cannot run at n high speed eastward at thnt noint because a heavy grado begins there oud the power of the line is not sufficient for such a speed. In running westward the cars run faster on account or tue neodway given on descending the heavy grade. After the first excitement following the accident subsided there were it number of people on the sceno who said they con sidered tho accident was due to a. sudden action on the part ot the child and the motor man could not have avoided it, no matter at what speed the car was run ning. Tne motor man suvs ho will have sev eral sye witnesses of the affair at the coroner's inquest and will show not only (hat the accident was unavoidable, but also that the car was running at a slow peed. tast nigut tne latner ot tne cuiid went oelore Justice Cardln and swore out warrant for the arrest of the motor man and. conductor.

Hkiiald : While tho report of Superintendent Whltnker to the School Hoard In relation to the confinement of children in a school was mado as an attack on tho HKIIALD I feel it is my duty, ns one of the complaining parents, to make a statement. On the day in question my son failed to come home for his dinner and I left the house to hunt him up. One of the school children told me the boy had been de tained In the school room.. I went to the school building and was unable to get In. This was at a quarter of one o'clock. Another boy told mo tho boy was in the school room and thnt if I would go to tho rear of the building I could seo him. I rouoweu tne instructions and by looklug through a window I saw my sou in the room. I then went to the liouso of the teacher and asked her to go to tho school building and let my son out. She said she would do so some timo in the afternoon but I insisted that she should do it at once and sho did, after the boy had been locked up lor an nour and tuteen minutes. My sou's statement was that when the teacher left linn In the room sho told him to remain there until she returned. The teacher wanted to make an exnln nation, but 1 said none was required; that tuo cnuu was penned in tno room and I wanted him released. Two davs after I met Whltaker and nsked him whether he thought it Was right that a child should bo penned In a school for that lenghth of time and he said ho did not think it was. lie also stated that ho had investigated the matter and had found thnt the Jani tor had locked the hoy in. I then asked him whether the janitors were hired to take care of children while they were nt school nnd whether a teacher had a right to leave the school while children were still in tho room. He said the janitors were not hired to take caroof the children and that the teacher had stated that she did not know the children were in the school. To this I said the teacher must have known they were there when she told them to remain there and went home for her dinner. Whltnker said, "Of course, it was not right.' S. M. Fktzkk.

Iio has been hustling around the county for the past three mouths making known to his many friends that ho is u candidate for Sheriff and thnt is about all he need do for ills friends are legion nnd will see thnt he gets what he wantH in thnt line of politi cal preferment. And ho is worthy of the best of support. Klias was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth but has worked his way up from the humblest obscurity to his present position of promi nence und success. And in his case has been proven most positively tho truth of the saying that "nothing succeeds like success" for. since his original break from his obscurity, success has been fallowed by success with him. His business and his political life have kept pace one with the other like a good running team und his party can well afford to tie to him as its candidate for Sheriff feeling confident of winning. No successful man can exist without his envious detractors, and of course Klias has his share of them, but he has also his full measure of friends who will see to It that he "gets there" in good shape.
