Whether there is fatality connected
with the locality or not, certain it is that
more accidents have happened in the
vicinity of the Delaware junction than
any other one point on the p. w. g. Il.
II. II.
Last evening another OF those distress
sing accidents happened which resulted
In the death of an estimable young mal
named Mark Clymer. He held the posi-
ton of shifting conductor, and about 8
o'clock was in the act of coupling cars,
when by some unexplai ned reason his
foot caught in the rail, and before he
could extricate it the wheel of the for
ward car caught it,mangling it in terri
bic manner, and throwing him to the
ground. He called for help, and one of
the men went to his assistance and found
him severely injured. The shifting engine
was Immediately dispatched to the depot,
and stretcher procured upon which he
was placed and taken to his boarding
house No. 403 Lombard street. Drs Kane
ana Draper were Immediately summon
ed, but they were unable to render the
young man any aid with the exception of
administering either to alleviate his
pains. When the physicians arrived he
looked up and remarked "doctor il is all
up with me" His pains must have been
intense as his groans could be heard for
some distance up to the time of his death
which occurred shortly after o'clock
He was very estimable young man and
had been in the employ of the company
for a number of years. His parents re.
side in New Castle, and no doubt his un.
timely death will be a great shock tc
them. The company will take charge OF
| his remains.
