Thrown From His Horse.
Mr. John McLean Hazen, the only child of the late Gen. William B. Hazen, U.S.A., died at the Smith Infirmary in New York yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock from injuries he received in being thrown from his horse on the Richmond turnpike, Staten Island, last Friday. The young man, who was twenty-two years old, had been in delicate health for several years, and had been living on Staten Island for some time. He was very fond of outdoor exercise, especially horseback riding, and on Friday was riding a spirited animal he had recently purchased. As he was going up a long hill on the Richmond turnpike near De Jonge’s paper factory a construction car on the Staten Island electric road came down at a high rate of speed. The car frightened the horse, causing him to plunge violently. Mr. Hazen was thrown, striking on his head with such terrific force that his skull was fractured at the base. The horse plunged into the car and was so badly injured that he had to be shot.
Mrs. Haze, who was in this city, was telegraphed the sad facts and left for her son’s side on a special train, arriving at the infirmary at 2 o’clock Saturday morning, where she found her sister, Mrs. Ludlow, wife of Capt. Ludlow, in command of the Massachusetts, already in attendance.
Young Hazen was beyond the reach of all earthly ministrations, however. He was unconscious all day yesterday until his death, and was unable to recognize any one.
Capt. Frederick H. Bugher of the volunteer army, and a cousin of the dead man, left this city last night and will return with the body this evening. It will be taken to the residence of his grandmother, Mrs. Washington, McLean, corner of Connecticut Avenue and K street, and the burial will take place tomorrow in Rock Creek cemetery.
The unfortunate young man was named for his uncle, Mr. John R. McLean, president of the Washington Gas Light Company.
