CRUSHED TO DEATH.
A Terrible Accident at the west Chester
Wheel Works.

A terrible accident, which resulted in
the instant death of John w. Carroll and
the serious injury Of Henry Hopes, son
of William Hopes, one of the operators
Of the West Chester Wheel Works, oc-
CURED in the yards of that establishment
at about o'clock Saturday morning.
Henry Hopes, the man injured, was
in charge Of a gang Of three workmen
who were engaged in rolling logs from
the railroad tracks down into the yards,
a distance of about ten feet. One log
about three feet in diameter and twelve
feet in length had been taken to the
brink Of the fall and the men blocked IL
up on the skids preparatory to lowering
it. The timber, weighing almost one
ton, being heavy oak, was difficult for
the gang Of men to handle, and IL was
blocked up to enable them to work it
quietly to the edge
Carroll, Hopes James Bell and Moses
Brown, Of the gang, climbed down upon
the heap Of logs for the purpose OF
steadying the one they were rolling down,
and moving it towards them. Carroll and
H Dopes were in the centre of it and two
colored men at the ends. They had gotten
| IL to the edge Of the wall, when suddenly
| the blocks which held 1t gave way, it
rolled over the wall, and with cry OF
alarm the men sprang away for their
lives. The two men at the ends of the
timber escaped injury, but Car
roll In attempting to step backward,
caught his foot between two logs In the
heap and fell backward over another one.
Before he could arise the heavy mass Of
timber struck him fairly upon the breast,
rolled up over his head and crushed out
his life In an instant. His head being
caught between the log on which he wat
resting and the rolling one, was crushed
out Of all resemblance to the head OF {
human being. and the mangled form fel
back between two logs after the moving
one had passed over his body.
Hopes, who had jumped back at thu
first cry Of alarm, also fell between TIVE
logs in the leap, about six feet back O.
Carroll, and the force OF the moving
timber was so great that 1t passed over
the intervening ones in the heap anC
pinned him by the legs between two o
them. DIR. Isaac Massey made an exami
nation of the injuries to Hopes, anc
gave it as his opinion that he is severel,
crushed about the legs, but that no bone
are broken. The coroner'siury rendere'
verdict OF accidental death.

high and BEAUTIFULLY situated on the Trinity

Fort Worth aspires not only to be the railroad

New enterprises are constantly starting up, and

HORRIBLY MANGLED.
An Aged Negroes Body, in Sections, Found
after Thirty Five Days.

An Aged Negroes Body, in Sections, Found
after Thirty-Five Days.
Special to the Gazette,
LONGvIEw, TEX. April 5.-On Febru-
airy 26, Jesse Daniels, highly respected
negro man about sixty years old, started
out to look after some straying hogs,
since when nothing has been heard OF
him until to-day. His body was found
about four miles from his home. which is
about sixteen miles from this place on
Cherokee bayou. His shotgun lay near
by in the dim infrequented road, bis
head some distance from his body and
one arm torn off at the elbow, while its
mate was minus hand, but all mem
bers were close by. The lapse of thirty
five days had covered forever any marks
of violence, if he had died of
violent means. His gun was
loaded, and from gravel in the
muZzle must have fallen from his grasp
and stuck into the ground. His body
was only q little over a quarter of a mile
from a house, aud fifty or sixty yards
from the county road. Search
ing parties had thought his body
was in the bayou, not far dis
tant from his home. The body was
accidentally discovered by children COM
ing from fishing, which led them on this
dim road. As the old negro was sub
ject TO heart disease, it is supposed he
died in this manner, as his horse came
home and his body bore no evidence of
having been secTeted.
