UORRIBIE DEATH OF A Young MAN At
JOrJxSTowE- Altoona Tribune OF Mon
dav furnishes the following particulars, con-
densed from Saturdays JOhnstown Tribune,
of a shocking accident which occurred st the
rod mill in the latter place, about O'Clock
on Saturday morning last, ana whereby a
Young man employed therein was literally
cut i'm two by a coil of red-hot iron. The
Tribune says
The name of the man who suffered this terrible
death Richard o. Jones a young WelShman;
not quite 21 years age. His business in the mill
was to catch the rolls the ends OF the wire
rods as they came through the rolls and guide theIn
the spindle While thus engaged one of the long
rcd hot rods whose end he had lust inserted in his
part of the rolls became twisted as it was guided
along the iron floor behind him. The rolls were
,n5}ye 1T tbe rate Of four hundred and fly revoI-
utions per minute and the twist caused the wire to
curvet through the air Of the loops falling over
youna Jones' body lust below the ribs. and draw
ing him down on his knees with his back against
the rolls. through which the wire sped with light
ming like rapidity. A fcIlow-workman was stand
iDt wit n a few
erlesS to render any assistance. Another workman
seized an axe and with one blow severed the wire,
ut not before it had cut md burned its way through
the body of the victim. The left arm was severed
between the elbow and shoulder the right between
the elbow and wrist and portion Of tho back bone
was all tina: held the mutilated body together.
His bowels cut into small pieces and fell out
resulted almost instantaneousy.
Apropos of the above, the Johnstown Trj-
bUne of Monday relates the following strange
story:
About o'clock on Friday last We told by
the assistant manager Of one of the departments of
the Cambria Iron Works that \ young man bad
that morning been killed in the rod mill Our
informant stated that the victim had been caught
I'm loop of Ted-hOt wire and literally cut In two
He got his information from the engineer OF one OF
the Company's locomotives, on which he had ocea-
sion to ride for short distance. y he could not
give Us the particulars set to work TO hunt them
mp. hut were unable to hnd anybody vino could
,Ic ,,s any further Iiuht on the subject We found
n man who had Just come up from the rod mill
and as he knew nothing Of the rumored horrible
tragedy VIC concluded that we had been made the
victim of a hoax, and gave up the search What
was our surprise, early 81 turday morning TO learn
killed at the rod mill at quarter after o'clock in
precisely the same manner as we were informed
the mythical workman had been the day before
The coincidence struck at the time and the gem
tlcmcu to whom spoke on Friday have called
our attention TO it often since that we concluded
10 make an item of it. Was the terrible accident
forctold? is what they would like to know.

an average one. At the beginning of this
month the grass presented wilted burnt
up, and altogether most unprepCssing ap-
pearance, but several subsequent rains came
+ to the rescue and brought it forward to a
+ comparatively fair standard. The wheat and
rye crops cannot be caviled at by the most
