THE sIsTY INQUEST.
The Facts Brought out Concerning His
Death

Death.
The inquest on the remains Of Will
liam Sisty, who was killed by the in
coming $50 train Monday night, was
held in the county clerks Office this
afternoon at 2 O'clock. Coroner Con
hermann had impaneled a jury and the
facts concerning the death were drawn
from the train men who were witnesses
to the terrible affair.
The first witness called was a Mr..
Hawse, a neighbor Of Mr.. Sisty's. He
said he had seen the remains and iden
titled them as those Of William Sisty.
Michael Harkins said he saw the re-
mains at the depot and at Mr.. Hansen's
morgue. He saw the wounds. and
thought him dead.
Mr. Gokey, the conductor of the
train, said that when the train stopped
he stepped out and met the engineer
coming back. He asked what the
matter was. Engineer told him he had
run into buggy and was going. to see
if any one was hurt. Going back few
feet they found Sisty lying between the
tracks, with his head within six or
seven inches of the rail of the north
bound track. Going back he found
1.-THE horse and buggy. There was a
wheel off. 1t was the right hind
wheel. The corpse was picked up, and
lput into the baggage car and left with
IL Of J,o or
Michael Farley, baggage-man; b. j..
WILDER and d. A. Bixler, brakemen,
we're sworn, but they could tell but lit
| tie. WILDER found the horse and tied
him up. Farley said the body was be-
| tween the sand ridge road and Pike
road. A boot was off the left foot and
a mitt oft the right hand.
Engineer John Alderman said that it
was so stormy and dark he could not
see at times the head of the engine.
When he got to point about sixteen
telegraph poles south of the sand ridge
road he suddenly discovered that a
horse and buggy seemed to be standing
| beside the track He at once turned
on the brake. The engine must have
struck the buggy for he saw bit OF
fire fly. He found that the pilot beam,
which is wood, covered with sheet iron
around the edge had struck the buggy
wheel. He could not see that there
was a man in the buggy, but he be
| lieved that the buggy had been knock
ed out from under Sisty and he was
thus thrown against the train with
| fatal results. He had not noticed the
buggy until he got within fifty feet OF
| it, because he couldn't see. Then it
was too late to stop or blow the whistle
as a warming. The train was going
slower than usual and was losing time.
| He went back as soon as he could stop
and found the fellow dead. His horse
and buggy were about 80 feet further
on. He backed the train down and
assisted in putting the body aboard
and drew into the station. 1t was
nearly 10 o'clock when the train ar
rived
By this testimony it will be seen that
Sistv had lost his road and had turned
south between the two tracks by mis-
take. The engineer said it was so
dark and stormy THAT a man either
drunk or sober might very easily have
made the mistake.
The jury returned verdict in &C
cordance with these facts.

The deadly mine water from the
Jeddo tunnel, which has been empt-
ing into the little Nescopeck creek
in Luzerne county for the past two
weeks has played havoc with the
fish, and they are dying by the hun
dreds. The banks along the creeks
beyond Conyngham are Utterly
strewn with them, and the farmers
are kept busy carting them away.
The sight seems to have certain
fascination for curiosity seekers ,judg-
