Caught in a Revolving Shaft.

Frank NJ. Toner, aged 16 years, had a
close call from death while running an
upright engine at the Old Ferry rolling
mills Tuesday morning. The clothes
OF the young man became entangled in
thumb screw, and before he could
extricate himself the body was
flying round shaft at frightful rate
Of speed. The employees of the works
attempted in vain to get the young man
loose. DIR. w. G. Winner happened
along by the mills about this time and
was called to the rescue. He at once cut
the clothes from the young mans body
and in this manner death was barely
averted. The lad was removed to his
home at B and Claymont streets, in
South Wilmington, where for a
time his life was despaired of.
II was thought he was hurt internally.
His condition to-day, however, was
greatly improved and he is now out of
danger. His father, Hugh Toner, is
puddler at the mills and is prominent
member of Madeley M. E. Church.

SALISBURY, Nd, Sept. 22.-one of
the most peculiar cases in the history of
the medical fraternity was ended to-day
by the death of Mr.. William Fields in
the SD year of his age. Forty days ago
Mr.. Fields ceased to eat solid food, and
since then he has lain in a comatose
state without eating anything. Al times
the doctors were unable to tell whether
he was living or dead. His pulse seemed
to stop AZ times. Several days ago his
lower limbs, hands and part OF his body
began to turn black from lack of circu-
lation, and yesterday the doctors found
that his lower limbs and hands were
dead. The physicians who attended him
were unable to stop the ravages of the
disease. The case attracted great atten-
ton. The deceased was the father of
Capt. Perry Fields, of the state steamer
Governor McI,ane.

wound. She was given a hearing be-
fore Squire Sard of Camden and fined

body was horribly cut and mangled, and
almost every bone in the body was
broken. The trunk was severed in
twain, and the limbs were cut and
mangled.

taken her to the station and departed,
Miss Lindsay walked on the station
porch. The agent asked her If she was

mansions Of the building are 200 feet long by
1ls wide and it is Romanesque in its style of
architecture. 1t is built of brick and stone.

this point is handsome tower. The building
extends through to Waverley place. but the
rear part is used for class rooms and Sunday

made another short address. Speaking of the
disasters through which they had passed in
the last twenty years he said that during that
time over $500, 900 had been expended for char
table purposes. The congregation had been
called upon to build three churches.
Rev. DIR. Ives, the well-known debt raiser, was
then introduced and made an urgent appeal to
the audience for money. He called for 81, 900
subscriptions, as it was necessary for them to
raise -. 900 at once, to remove mechanics
lien on the building.
There were eight who subscribed 81 900 each,
and then he then called for $500 subscriptions,
and nine subscribed each that amount The
total collected during the morning was
about $4,000. At the afternoon and evening
services enough more was received to almost
make up the required $4,000. There still re-

PRESENTATION TO SECRETARY PERRY.
Just at the conclusion Of his speech Presi-
dent Hood was seen to leave his seat on the plat
form and call Secretary Perry to the chair.
The knowing ones understood this move, and
when Mr.. Zevely rose to address the chair
every ono was quiet Mr.. Zevely in pleasing
speech spoke of Mr.. Howard Perry's connec-
non with the club and the great services he
had rendered. He attributed the building of
the new club house solely to Mr.. Perry's great
efforts: Ut course, he said others had done
their share, but Perry had been the lead horse
all the time. He referred TO Perrys short
comlngs. which like every man. he said. he had
his quota One Of the most apparent was the
possession of proper time piece. which. while
he tZeVely) had been member Of the board Of
governors was always behind time. Tie said he
now proposed to remedy that. for Pcrrys
friends had commissioned him to present him
slight token of their love and high apprecia
non: With that he handed Mr.. Ferry a
handsome watch and chain, and the crowd
burst out in thundering applause. Mr.. Ferry
was deeply moved, and it was with consider
able effort that he swallowed several big Jumps
which filled his throat. He rallied. however,
and thanked the boys for the present, which he
SAID he would ever keep with him as a reminder
OF them Nearly every member then made q
rush for him and for fully an hour he held
reception.
