Tuesday the I'D inst, about noon, a mai
was greasing some car wheels at the head
of the slope at the coal mine in Liberty
township; by some means the rope used to
prevent the cars from running too rapidly
Gown the slope, became united, when the
cars two or three in number, we believe,
at once started, impslled by the force Of
gravitation, down the inclined plane
Three men were partly up the narrow
slope on their way out of the mine, and
these had scarcely time to sav themselves
by getting off the track and placing theil
faces t. the wall, leaving barely sufficient
room for the cars to pass. But it was lesE
fortunate with two other men who just
then CHANGED TO be at the bottom of the
slope. The cars came upon them before
they had time to reach 3 place of safety
killing one of them outright, and swfully
fracturing the legs of the other, besides in
Aicting bodily injuries. Several medies
men we're Immediately sent for, and DR.
]. McCurdy ~amputAted the right leg below
the thigh at once, hoping to save the suffer
ers life. The unfortunate man lived a few
hours after the operation, and expired
about 3 o'clock the next morning. Boil
