Ex-Chief Burgess Smith had a serious fill
near the Lehigh Valley depot last night
When the train arrived from Pottsvillc at
about eight o'clock he was a passenger on it
and, being in a hurry to get home, he at
tempted to make a short cut by crossing the
open space northwest Of the depot. 1t was
quite dark and he dropped into large OPEN
ing of culvert which the railroad company
made to carry water from the depot and
ueighboring Matchbox. Mr.. Smith fell
heavily and fractured two of his ribs ON the
left side. He was able to arise and walk
home without assistance, but is now under
the care of DIR. Straub and confined to his
bed. The place where Mr. Smith fell is very
dangerous and should receive the attention
of the railroad company. 1t is in line with
the path people will naturally take to travel
between the depot and Lloyd street and there
should be a protecting fence or the arrange
ment of the culvert should be altered. 1t is
also a trap for teamsters who may have oc-
casion to drive to or from the depot at night
