HIS FOOT OR HIS LIFE.

Caught in a Frog, a Baggage Master
Suffers a Frightful Amputation.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer
PoTTsvILLE, Oct. 28-Audrew Schwi-
lick, baggage master on tho Reading
railroad, had thrilling experience at
Schuylkin Haven this afternoon.
He was crossing the railroad tracks at
that point, when his foot got caught in a
frog He made an effort to free it, but only
succeeded in securing it still more firmly
At the same instant he heard the roar of an
approaching train, and, looking up, saw one
laundering down upon him at frightful
speed. He waved his arms aloft to the en-
gineer, who put on the cir brakes, but obvi-
ously to no purpose, as the train was tray-
cling too fast.
Schwilick took in the terrible situation at
a glance. He comprehended that there
was no possibility of freeing his foot nor of
stopping the train before 1T should reach
him, He determined if possible to save his
life if he lost his foot He threw himself at
full length to one side as far as the i'm
prisoned foot would permit, his body and
the other leg being beyond the reach of the
wheels, but, to prevent being struck by
projecting portions of the axles, and thus
have his whole body drawn under the
wheels or crushed in other ways, he laid
down flat.
Down upon him swept the locomotive.
The ponderous wheel caught his leg at the
ankle, and crushed his 70 1t to Jelly in a
Jffy. With almost superhuman nerve he
dragged is body and the released limb be-
yond the reach of further mutllaton, as
soon as the locomotive had passed, and was
SOON assisted by onlookers to neighboring
store, where medical attendance was at
once summoned. His fortitude commanded
the admiration of the sympathizers present,
and although he is alm)s So years Of age,
the doctors have hopes of saving his life.

a SHATTERED IDOL.
Independence Day Was Not Fourth Of
.Iulv

Independence Day Was Not Fourth of
July.
In the course of his recent speech in
Dover upon the occasion Of the unveiling Of
monument to Caesar Rodney, ex-Secretary
Bayard read hitherto unpublished letter
from Thomas Mexican to Caesar Augustus
Rodney, nephew of Caesar Rodney. 1t was
dated Aug. %, 1913, aud recount ed how Rod
ney's timely arrival at Independence Hall
on July 4. 1716, after having ridden hard
and fast all the way from Dover, hal pre-
vented the dangerous consequences that
might have attended the dissension of
81 gle state, and had in fact saved the
declaration of independence from being
tabled or postponed. The letter continued
IN the following interesting fashion:
NOW that | am on this subject, | will
tell you some truths not generally known.
In the printed public journal of congress
for no, volume 2, it would appear that
the Declaration of Independence was signed
on July by the members whose names are
there inserted, but the fact is not so; for no
person signed it on that day, nor for many
days after, and among the names sub
scrlbed one was against lt-Mr. Read-and
seven were not in congress on that day,
namely: Messrs. Morris. Rush, Clymer,
Smith, Taylor Ross of Pennsylvania, and
8lr. Thornton of New Hampshire, nor were
tho SIX gentlemen last named at that time
members; the five for Pennsylvania were
appointed delegates by the convention of
that state on July 20, and Mr.. Thornton
entered congress for the first time on Nov.
following. when the names of Henry
Wisner of New York and Thomas Mexican
of Delaware, not printed as subscribers,
though both were present and voted for in
dependence. Here false colors are certainly
hung out; there is culpability somewhere.
What can offer as an apology or explana-
ton Is that on July 4, 1776, the declaration
OF independence was ordered to be en-
crossed in parchment, and then to be
signed, and l have been told that a
resolve had passed a few days after
and was entered on the secret
Journal, that no person should have a seat
in congress during that year until he should
have signed the declaration, in order, as I
have been given to understand. to prevent
traitors or spies from worming themselves
among us. | was not in congress after the
Fourth for some months, having marched
with my regiment of associates of this
city, as colonel, to support Gen. Wash
ington until a flying camp of 10000 men
was completed When the associators were
discharged ] returned to Philadelphia, took
my seat in congress, and then signed the
declaration on parchment. Two days after
went to New Castle, joined the conven-
ton for forming constitution for the
future government of the state of Delaware,
having been elected a member of New
Castle county, which l wrote in a tavern
without a book or any assistance. You
may rely on the accuracy of the foregoing
relation. 1t is full time to print and pub
lish the secret Journal ..of congress during
the revolution. / have thus answered
your request, and trust it may reform

over which was very high and long trestle.
They ventured upon the lofty structure.
and with careful step managed to keep
safely upon the crossties until they had
reached about thu center of the trestle.
when looking ahead of them they saw a
train coming. What could they doa If
they should turn back the train would over
take them before they could get half way
off, and to jump from the trestle would be
doom equally as horrible. So the thought
came to them that nothing could save them
from an untimely and awful death but to
swing under the trestle until the train could
pass.
They hastily got down between tho cross
ties, and locking their tender arms around
a grder, they swung off under the trestle
100 feet or more from the ground below.
while the train went thu ndering over them
almost shaking them from their grip for
life. When the train had passed over the
girls had barely strength enough left to
drag themselves back upon the trestle aud
complete their journey When they reached
home their faces were deathlv white
When they recovered from the fright it
was found that the freckles had en- irelv
disappeared from the face of one of the
ladies.

from Los Truches, New Mexico, that a very
old lady, who, with her son, was in the
groves several miles from home, was eaten

but waited all night long for the absent
mother. As soon as it was light he started
to ind her. and after several hours search
found her torn clothing and bones and hair.
There are plenty of bear tracks where the
remains were found.
A report from Abequin, N. NJ says 12-
year-old boy has been missing for several
days. The entire population turned out
this morning to search for him. Fears are
entert aimed that a bear has eaten him.
Bears are very plentiful on the Chama,

Two of Mr.. SCOTS cowboys tackled a
huge cinnamon bear a few days ago. After
expanding ali their ammunition and only
breaking leg, one threw a lasso around
Bruins neck, and the other lassoed his hind
foot After stretching him, one of the dar-
ing cowboys dismounted, ran up alongside,
and cut the bears throat.
