Looked Death in the Face

Looked Death in the Face
With his foot caught in a frog and
death staring him in the face, Edgar
Cunningham, of Camden, N. j., yester-
day saved his life through his presence
of mind and pure grit
Cunningham was employed as freight
brakeman on the Williamson branch of
the Atlantic City railroad While drills
ing at Mullica Hill yesterday, he stepped
between two cars of the slowly moving
train, for the purpose of uncoupling them
as he walked along He drew the coup
ling pin from the socket successfully, and
noticed the forward car moving slowly
ahead. But upon attempting to step
from the track out of the way of the cars
in the rear, he was Mortified to find that
his foot was caught in a frog. He had
but second to think and act, and it is
a miracle he escaped with his life. Be>
fore he was knocked under the train,
however, Cunningham, who was being
slowly born down by the ear, by super
human effort, threw himself bac kward
and clear of the rail with the exception
of his imprisoned foot.
The mans leg was fractured in two
places and his foot was crushed out of
all shape. An artery in his leg was also
severed. The other train hands rescued
Cunningham as quickly as possible, and
a Mullica physician sewed up the artery.
Although suffering terribly from his in
juries, the brave fellow never complain
ed. Four hours later he arrived at the
Cooper Hospital, Camden, where his in
jnries wero properly attended to.

Mr.. Leo Wheat.

A letter from Washington says.
''Mr. Leo Wheat, the great musician
of Virginia, who has been i'll at the Prov
idence Hospital here, is now almost en-
tirely recovered, and in few days will
be able to leave the hospital. There is
a small chapel attached to the Provi-

of almost every day there comes stealing
through the closed window blinds the
soft sweet tones of the organ, and the
inmates and neighhors pause at the
touch of the master hand, and revel In
the half sad, half weird chords that
live and pass into silence under the seem
ingly listless touch of this born must.

Stern Done Up.
An interesting little story. which will
turn a few Democratic politicians OF St.
Paul to wondering what struck them, is
being gossiped about by the Minnesota
colony in Washington. Louis Stern, the
popular Journalist and German of ST..
Paul, has been a candidate for half
dozen good offices, but finally settled up
on consulate in Europe Germany pre-
ferred. There was very little doubt that
he would secure Doran's O. e and get
his wish pretty soon. But now his hopes
were dashed, and he will probably re-
main to pick up items upon the st. Paul
German press indefinitely.
As the story goes, the whole trouble
arose over a row in saloon in which
Stern was supposed to be principal
and also served in the character Of VIC
tim. Just how badly Stern was used up
is not in evidence, but the important fact
is that the men who fought Stern physi-
cally are now opposing him politically.
The state department. within few days
has received 9 protest against stern's ap-
pointment, and among the reasons given
in the fact that he had row in saloon
Stern in all probability does not know
of the trouble that little affpir will cause
him, but the chances are that he will not
go to Europe.

Come down and see us. If you have any
thing to bring along that will add to the
show don't fail to bring it; at any rate
bring yourselves. Let sectional feeling,
If there is any, he LAID aside. Remember,
