Yesterday afternoon, Charles E.,
youngest son OF Ex.Mayor William g.
Whiteley, met with painful accident,
which resulted In the loss Of his left arm.
The unfortunate young man left Phila-
delpbia on the $50 p. m. tram for his
home In this city. He was sitting next
the window and was resting his arm on
the sill, the window being open ct the
time. A few minutes after the train had
left LinwoOd, freight train was passed.
On the latter train was a car loaded
with lumber. One Of the boards pro
jected beyond the others to such q dis
In which Mr.. Whiteley was riding, until
1t reached the window where he was sit
ting when 1t caught his arm and
jammed it with great force against the
frame. The arm was crushed and
torn in horrible manner, and small
pieces of bone projected through the
skin.
The arm was bandaged up by some
Of the passengers, and everything
done to assus's the pain which the
young man suffered.
Upon arriving IN this city the young
man was taken home in carriage,
and Drs. Draper, Maull and ullo *
were summoned, who upon examins-
tion decided that the amputation wsa
absolutely necessary. They at once
performed the operotioD, the arm be-
ing taken off near the shoulder JOINT.
1 numt sr of those who were in the
train aud seen the accident assert that
Mr.. Whiteley was not to blame, al
his arm did not project beyond the
sill.
Although he still suffers oonsidera
bly, from the accident, he is doing al
well as can be expected under the cir

Refuse Killing Fish.

1kiiIoiu MOVIE.
On Tuesday morning large num-
bers of dead fsh were noticed float
ing In the creek In some places being
seen by the hundred. They were
mostly young shad, with perch and
some cat fish. The cause Of their
death Is supposed to be tho poison
ing of the water by the refuse from
the tomato canneries. Ordinarily this
would have been carried off into the
bay, but owing to the drouth, little
fresh water has been discharged into
the creek and that has been kept
near the head Of navigation. Thus
the water has had no chance to be
pure and the accumulated vegetable
matter has decomposed to the death
of the fish. Mr.. d. X. Holmes tested
the water and found it considerably
acid. Thousands of fish have been
destroyed, the greater part Of them
shad about three inches in lengsh,
Is 900 OF which fish were placed in
this stream by the fish commission
about two years since.
