FATAL FALL FROM A BRIDGE.-A young
man named James Conway, about twenty
three years Of age, who lived with his moth
er in Tunnellhul borough, attended a dance
on last Saturday night at the old Fountain
Inn, on the ,Hollidaysburg turnpike, about
three miles east of SummitvilIe He started ,
in company with some others, on his return
home about O'Clock in the morning, several
of the party riding on mules and when thew
reached the high stone bridge which crosses
the bed of the old Portage Railroad near the
foot of what was once known as Plane No.
6, 1T seems that young Conway, who was
travelling on foot, got on one of the side walls
bridge for the purpose of mounting a mule
behind one of his companions, and while on
the wall lost his balance and fell distance
OF at least thirty feet to the old bed of the
railroad, upon which there had accumulated
large quantity of loose stone and rubbish
He was conveyed to his home in an insensi-
bic condition by those who were with him,
and never spoke from the time of the acci-
dent until his death. which occurred some
time during Sunday night. Drs. Devereaux
I nd Miller, who were summoned to attend
him, found that none of his bones had beer
broken, and that his death resulted from in
teTnal injuries alone. The deceased was
employed as boss driver in DennisOn's coal
bank at the "Patch," ." southeast of Tunnel
hill, and is represented as having been a
steady and industrious young man. His re-
mains were inferred in the Catholic cemetery
in Tunnellhill borough on Monday last
May his soul rest in peace.
The truth of the old saying that "mis-
fortune never comes singly, - was once more
eXemplifed on Thursday last, first by the re-
ception in'the morning by Mrs. Mary Shoe
maker, of this place, as noted in our last is
sue, of a telegram announcing the DEATH at
Salt Lake city, of her son-in-law Major
