EEE RE IEe erred Died an Hour Afterwards in 5 Within sight of his home on Bar rie street, Robert McFaul, one of Kingston's oldest merchants, receiv. ed injuries by being run over by a street car about 8.30 o'clock Thurs- day night, which resulted in 'his death at the General Hospital about an hour later When the shocking accident occur red, people were streaming down Barrie street to the band concert in Macdonald Park. Mr. McFaul was going out Park avenue, apparently intending to walk down Barrie street. A street car driven by Motorman Frank Reyonlds was coming down Barrie street. The gong was sound- ed vigorously whey the motorman saw Mr. McFaul approaching the tracks, but the latter did not appear to notice the oncoming car until he stepped right between the rails. Then he looked up and became confused, for he stood still. Motorman, pas sengers and pedestrians frantically yelled at the aged merchant to jump aside. The motorman had put on the brakes and reversed the power, but it was too late. There was a | crash as the fender struck him. Mr McFaul's head crashed against the | led off and dunate old gentleman rol The car came to a stop within two lengths of itself. Mr. McFaul was lying diagonally across the space .be- tween the rails."His right foot above | the ankle was almost severed, his] skull was fractured, and his head, | shoulders and arms were cut. Doc tors and an ambulance were called hurriedly, but a carriage that was passing took the dying man to the General Hospital, but two blocks away, Everything possible was done | to save the life of Mr. McFaul, but the injuries he received proved too great a shock, and he passed away at i 9.25 o'clock. i Dr. R. K. Kilborn, coroner, was | called, and ordered an inquest,which will be 'held in the General Hospital at 7 o'clock Friday evening. There was great excitement as a larg owd gathered at the scene of the accident. Atefirst it was not known who had been the victim 'of | the accident, as it was just beginning to get dusk. R. Waldron, who liveg just opposite Park avenue, at the hospital identified Mr. McFaul by papers in his pockets. Mr. Waldron was a friend and neighbor of Mr. McFaul for many years. H. C. Nickle, superintendent of the Street Railway Company, was out of the city when the accident oe- | curred, being in Napanee He ar-| rived back at 9.30 o'clock. A passenger who sat on the front | seat of the car immediately behind the motorman, told the Whig that Mr. McFaul wag walking along Park | avenue with 'is hands behind him, and appeared in deep thought, The motorman thought he would walk close to the tracks and wait until the car had passed, and when he proceeded to cross the rails directly in front of the car, he did something that nobody would have expected About 7.30 o'clock the late Mr. MoFaul, accompanied by his daugh ter-indaw, went down to his store on Princess street, as the old gen- tleman was in thi custom of seeing that everything was all right. He sent Mys. McFau] on ahead to go to the band concert in Macdonald Park. Mr, McFaul told her he would join her a little later in the evening. "instead of taking his usual course across the Cricket Field, the old gen- tleman made his way along to the end of Park avenue, where the fa- tal accident occurred.
