CHICAGO, August l5.-The Secret

John +. Finerty, Thomas Brennan, ex-
Secretary Of the National Irish Land
League; NJ. V. Cannon, Of Iowa, and
Colonel II. o. 5. l:ourke, of New

and demanded the total independence
of Ireland. Mr.. Finerty's assertion
that We want it distinctly under

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Young Man Crushed by q Pile u
Lu,nber-His Condition Critical

Shortly before q o'clock last evening
a horrible accident occurred in the saw
mill of the Harlan Il Hollingsworth
Company, in which young man was
seriously, if not fatally injured. Charles
Jones was the name of the unfortunate
lad, and he was about 10 years of age.
His business was to clean up the mill
before quitting work every night, and
IN the performance OF this duty he met
his fate.
He passed between two piles of pine
boards used for the floors Of freight cars
piled by himself, and which were about
ten feet high. While cleaning out the
rubbish il is thought that he pulled out
IA piece of wood, which had been placed
under the lnmbcr to steady it, which
caused tie pile TO topple and fall over
on him, crushing him between the two
piles. A. soon as the lumber struck
nim he was heard to cry out, when
several men rushed to his assistance
and commenced the work Of eXtricating 6
the unfortunate lad. So heavy was
the weight piled upon him that it took
the men nearly five minutes before
they got it removed. When they dis
covered the lad, he was found on his
knees with his head on the floor and i'll
an insensible condition.
A telephone message was Immediate
ly sent to DR.. Maull, and in the mean-
time Charles f. Resag, the druggist at
Front and West streets, rendered medi-
cal assistance until the arrival of the
physician. As soon as practicable the
injured lad was removed to Lis board
ing house, No. 80 West Second street,
where he suffered extreme pain during
the night. His injuries consist of a
few external bruises and his spine is
seriously fractured. The most serious
injuries receive are thought TO be i'll
ter al, rs at times his face was livid and
his body partially paralyzed.
Several of his friends remained with
him through the night, one of which
stated that his suffering was intense, but
toward morning he rested easier and at
I o'clock he appeared much better, al
though no hopes are entertained OF his
recovery.
Jones has only been working at the
works of the Harlan & HollingswOrtll
Company about two months, and came
to this city from Slaughtcr's Stat
tion, Maryland, where his parents re-
