A Deplorable Accident.

It is a truth incontrovertible that in the midst of life we are in the shadows of death, and there is no reckoning what may occur in a day.

This melancholy reflection is suggested by the death of Elizabeth Jack, which resulted yesterday afternoon from injuries sustained by having fallen accidentally from a horse she was exercising on the block of her parents' home on Fairfield avenue. How the fall occurred is not definitely stated, but she was conveyed unconscious to Schumpert Memorial, where her soul wafted its flight to heaven.

How great is the grief of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Jack, may be imagined, but who could describe?

Of a lovable temperament and in every sense lovable, Miss Elizabeth Jack, aged 11 years, was not only the idol of her home, but she was endeared to all who came within the radiance of her presence.

In their grief overwhelming the Caucasian would tender to the bereaved parents its fullest sympathy, and while realizing that words are little comfort, solace may be drawn in the blissful reflection that their dearly beloved daughter is with her God.
