der Wheels of Mr. B. M.
Wilson’s Touring Car.
Charlie Fisher, colored, the 4-year-
old son of Hhina Fisher, was run
down and Instantly killed near the
western end of Pine street this morn
ing by Mr. B. M. Wilson's big touring
car.
The accident occurred about 10:30
o’clock, and seems to have been un
avoidable, so far as Mr. Wilson, who
was driving the machine, Is con
cerned.
The accident occurred at a point
about opposite the plant of the Vlr-
ginia-Carolina Chemical Co. The child
was some distance from his mother's
home, having been playing with sev
eral other children who live in the
same neighborhood.
Mr. Wilson was returning from his
farm, which Is a short distance beyond
the western limits of the city. He saw
several children ahead of him, but
they were some, distance from the
road, which was perfectly clear.
“I noticed that the smallest child
was walking towards the road," said
Mr. Wilson to a Herald man after the
accident, “and gave warning. My ma
chine was going down hill at the time,
but the speed was not great.
“Suddenly, a negro boy, apparently
about twelve years of age, who was
with the smaller child, seized the lat
ter by the hand and started with him
across the road. I shouted a warning,
just as the smaller child stumbled and

CLEANING UP.
Chicago, June 6.—The Tribune says:.
“One of the Immediate effects of the
President’s disclosure of packing
house conditions was seen in an at
tempt In at 1&ast three of the big
plants yesterday to remedy the condl.
tions condemned In the report. Many
of the arrangements were removed,
Aoors cleaned, walls scraped and light
and ventilation Improved.
“The surroundings of the workers
In these three plans were Improved 50

London, June 6.—The sales of
canned provisions In London today
were lnAniteslmal. All the dealers
had the same tale, namely, that for
the last week their sales had dropped
daily until today when the oAlcial con-
Armatlon of the packing disclosures

provision stores did not sell a tin of

fell In the road. The older boy, in
stead of attempting to drag his com
panion out of the way, abandoned him
to his fate, and continued to run.
“I had absolutely no warning, and
was unable to stop the machine, which
passed entirely over the body of the
prostrate child. - i.
"The act of the older child was ab
solutely foolhardy and without excuse.
There would not have been the slight
est danger had he acted in any other
manner than as he did."
The child struck by the machine was
killed almost, instantly. Seven or
eight ribs were crushed Immediately
over the heart. . Dr. W. W. Bacon was
on the scene in a few minutes, and
found life entirely extinpt.
* Mr. WilBon, of course, greatly de
plores the accident, though he feels
that he' was exercising all due dili
gence, and that the running down of
the child could not, under the circum
stances, have been avoided. He has
requested that an inquest be held, and
the taking of testimony began at 2
o’clock this .afternoon. All the facts
will be fully Inquired into.
IN MEMORY
OF CORNEILLE.
France and Yale Honor the Great
French Poet and Writer of Tragedy.
Paris, June G.—Three hundred years
ago today there was born one' who was
destined to leave an Indelible mark on
the literature and drama of France.
He was Pierre Corneille, the writer of
Immortal poems, comedies, and trage
dies, and today the learned sodtles of
Paris united In paying tribute to his
memory.
Born of a lawyer, Corneille was as
deAnltely headed toward his father’s
profession' as was Sir Walter Scott
after him. Like Scott, Corneille stud-
led law and actually began practice,
but the Arst comedy from his pen met
with such success that the law was
abandoned for good and all. After
producing several successful comedies
Corneille turned bis hand to the writ
ing of tragedies. “The Ctd,” ‘‘Clnna’’
and “Polyeucte" led the way to that
mass of work which today'numbers
thirty-three titles. His works have
been criticized keenly, but France still
insists that he was the creator of her
tragedy.
Yale, Too, Honors Corneille.
New Haven, Conn., June 6.—In cele
bration of the 300th birthday anniver
sary of Pierre Corneille Interesting lit
erary exercises were held today under
the auspices of the Yale French Club.
The exercises were attended by M.
Jusserand, the French ambassador,
and / by Robert S. McCormick, the
American ambassador to France.
