ously injured last evening by beng run

Whelan is blacksmith by trade and

their intention of going to Philadel-
phia.
In order to catch the 6.l0 train the
party hurried toward the station and
arrived there just as the tram was
moving off. O'Neill grabbed the rail-
ings Of a passing car and made the leap
successfully, but Whelan missed his
footing and was thrown under tho cars,
the tianges of several wheels passing
over the calf of his right leg. The in
iured man was picked up and carried
into the depot, where DIR. Forwood and
DR.. Ulrich dressed his wounds and
sent the man TO this city on the 9.O9 p.
IN. train.
Upon his arrival he was conveyed to
the railroad hospital, and DR.. Kane, the
railroad physician, together with Drs.
Draper and Ogle, summoned who, upon
examination, found the bone badly
splintered, although the flesh was not
so badly lacerated. After cousulta-
ton it was decided to amputate the leg,
and the patient was accordingly put
under the influence ofethcr while the
operation was performed. The limb
was amputated at the knee joint by the
attending physicians, after which he
was taken to the home of his parents
