More About Mrs. Sharp's Death.

Mrs. Chas. Risk ling wrote to relatives here the particulars .of the death of Mrs. Sharp. She states that they had left one car to make a transfer, and that little George started to cross behind the car, not' noticing that a car was coming on the other track. Mrs. Sharp saw his danger and tried to save him. She had the other little boy, Harold, in her arms, and as she reached for George the car struck her and knocked her down and dragged her half a block. She never regained consciousness, but lived for about four hours. Little George can not live, so the hospital doctors said. Harold was not seriously hurt, but when Chas. Rlshling picked him up he thought he was dead. The funeral arrangements had not been made when Mrs. Rlshling wrote, as they were waiting for the inquest to be held and for the arrival of Mr. Sharp from Tennessee.
