While attempting to board an eastbound
freight train of the Pennsylvania railroad,
in the east yards here yesterday, about
las p. M, Harry Allott, young man oi
10, from Wilmington, Del, had the big
toe of bis right foot crushed and his left
leg broken near the hip and badly cut at
the knee. He contrived to catch the hand
rail when he jumped for tho car. but bis
foot missed its hold and went under the
wheel. The leg was no doubt broken
when he fell to the track, after being
dragged some distance. for even after his
foot was hurt he still clung to the car.
Dr. Lineaweaver amputated the mangled
toe and attended to his other injuries. He
was sent to the Lancaster hospital for
treatment Had it not been for colored
companion Of the unfortunate youth, who
dragged him from under the cars when he
fell, both legs would have been taken off
Both oil the young men were tramps.

hours last night. Considerable damage
was done tO the streets and pavements.
The sewers at the foot of Locust and WAL
nut streets were choked up with the rub.
bish carried down in the cutters, and rem
dered useless for carrying the water
through to the river. The consequence
was that dirt aud filth were scattered over
the pavements and streets, and several
cellars were filled with water. Pedestrians
at the street crossings at these points were
obliged to wade through water half foot
deep
Burned With Torch.
Mr.. Edward Kesler, an employee at the
Pennsylvania railroad round house here,
was badly burned about the face and body
early on Sunday morning, by the ex-
plOsion Of a kerosine torch whichlis used
to light the fires of engines. Several men
were fortunately near by when the acci-
dent occurred and rendered prompt assis
tance. Had such not been the case he
would have met with horrible death. His
injuries have rendered him unable to be at
work, but he is much improved to. day.
