a Strangers Mishap.

A man from far away Poland
named Adam Droesnesky, met with
a serious accident on the b. & O.
railroad track Tuesday morning
last, near Bloomington. Droes-
nesky had not been very long in
this country having come from a
province in Poland, where he left
seven mothcrless children. lie
worked for some time in a stone
quarry at Oakland, for Mr.. Merwin
McKaig, but at the time of the ac.
cident he was on his way to seek
employment at the first tunnel
above Bloomington, and as so often
happens, got out of the way of one
train only to get in the way of an
other approaching from an oppo-
site direction. In this case it was
helper engine No. 576 that came
suddenly and swiftly around a curve
and caught the unfortunate man
on the track and crushed his right
foot terribly under its wheels.
The unfortunate man was taken
to Piedmont as. soon as possible,
and every attention that charity
and medical skill could devise was
rendered by DIR. Shuey and Agent
Fuller, of the railroad company.
Father Wieder was also called to
see the injured man, and gave the
consolation of the church.
After a consultation it was de-
cided to amputatc the foot, and the
operation was performed by DR..
Shuey, assisted by Or. Parsons and
Kalbaugh. Later in the day he
was brought to this city and placed
i'm n ward in the home and mfr
mary, where he now lies. His con-
dition is very serious, but there was
every hope Of his recovery yester-
day. Father Clark, Of st. Patrick's
church, has been assiduous in his
attention TO the unfortunate
stranger. .-Cumb. News.

Close observers say that the sparrow is
rapidly decreasing in number, and that
its utter extermination is onls question
Of time. Pot hunters, air guns, traps
aud other devices to catch and kill these
birds are fast doing their work OF devas-
tation, making it certain that this pest.
ferrous little bird will become extinct.
The sparrow, which was introduced with
the purpose uf ridding the country OF the
insects that are injurious to fruits OF all
kinds, has proved to be an enemy Just
as destructive to buds and blossoms as
are any of the known insect foes to the
same growth, so that with the sparrow
exterminated, opines the st. Louis Star
Stayings, we may not only have greater
fruit crops, but a return OF our native
sweet song birds, which were driven out
of the groves of this region at the IN
coming of the sparrow.

Jopcss Mines, perhaps the oldest iron
mine, in Pennsylvania, are to be aban-
doned. They received their name from
David Jones, Welsh ironmaster, who
purchased in 1875 about one thousand
acres OF land in Carnargon Township,
Berks County, upon part OF which
tract the mines we're worked. Jones
made a fortune out of them for himself
and his descendants. Two miles from
Morpantown there still stands the fine
old family mansion, which was built by
Jonathan Jones ia son OF DAVID, who
was acolonel in the Revolutionary Army.
Until recently large force OF men were
employed at the mines, but the expense
of following the iron ore is considered
too great in the present condition oil tue
iron trade, and the pumps aud other ma
chinery are to be withdrawn and the
shafts allowed to fill with water.

Plans for New Theatre.
1t now looks A. if the project for a
new theatre. to replace the Worlds
Museum on Washington street. next TO
the Boyl,ton building, had at last taken
shape, Efforts to accomplish this end
have been made for year ormore. and
it has been rmored time and again
that a new playhouse would be built
but each time the deal has fallen
through.
The parties who now occupy the
museum say that they have secured a
90 years lease from the Roylston Market
Association, which owns the land, the
only restriction being that the new
building shall not bc built higher than
the present structure The plans have
already been drawn, and the building
will be constructed under the super
vision of Mr.. John la>kcy, who
built the Palace Theatre.
The greater part of the new house
will be in new building in the rear Of
the present brick structure on Washing
