SNYDER HAD A MOST
MARVELLOUS ESCAPE
Tainted and Fell from the Top Of I
Box Car.
HE LANDED ON THE BUMPERS
Unconscious and Lying Face Down,
with His Body Stretched Across the
Buffers, He Rode from La Plume to
CIark'ss summit, Where He Was
Found by His Fellow Workmen.
Was Not Very Badly Injured.

Charles Snyder, Of Nicholson, a
brakeman on the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western road, sustained Sc
we're injuries and had a narrow escape
from a frightful death yesterday after
noon.
His train left Nicholson shortly after
noon and he went out on the middle
section. He was seen at La Plume by
one of his fellow employees but no one
remembers having taken notice of him
again until Clark's Summit. was
reached
When the train stopped there and he
did not show up to help in the switch
ing the crew became alarmed for
his safety and started goin over the
train examining the wheels to see II
there was any evidence of his having
been run over.
One Of the brakemen in passing along
was startled by finding Snyder lying
face downward across the bumpers OF
a lumber car, unconscious and with
blood flowing from his mouth. He was
lifted from his perilous position and
placed on the caboose to be taken to
the Moses Taylor hospital. On the
way down, however, he recovered con.
sciousness and it was discovered that
he was not seriously injured. He de.
clined to go to the hospital and was
taken back to his home in Nicholson.
He said that when passing Glenburr
he was seized with pain in the heart
and became dizzy. He was standing
near the end of the car on top of thu
pile of lumber and about to take a steI
forward. The last thing he remember
is that he experienced a sinking sen
sation and then a shock as if strucl
by some heavy instrument.
That Snyder's body was not dis
lodged from it's position on the bumper
| is almost miraculous as the train wa
| going at a lively rate and there are
number of curves between Glenburl
and Clark's Summit.

may be the conflicts that rage about him,
II is the privilege of the believer to enjoy
perfect peace within. 1t is his duty to
be holy even as Christ was holy. The
work of the Holy Ghost is described as
publication, the work of sanctifying that
shall make both heart and life as white
as snow. Many there be who under COM
pulsion will acknowledge the sovereignty
Of God. Many there have been who for
political or other reasons have engaged
in bloody warfare in defence of this or
that creed upon the battle fields of earth,
cheating themselves into a belief that
they were followers of Jesus Christ: but
only those are truly His whose lives
are dominated by the Holy Ghost.
In closing the speaker urged his peo-
pie to take the cross of Christ as
their symbol, and to enlist in an army
which knew not defeat; an army which
had for its weapon the bible. Dur
ing the civil war thousands of lives
were lost that the glorious stars and
stripes should not trail in the dust,
and because of this, our country to-
day rejoices in honoring it's illustrious
heroes. Their exploits are recalled
that patriotism may be instilled into
the hears of the young. How much
more worthy those who have laid down
their lives for the sake of Christ.
REV. MR.. MOFFATT'S SERMON.
Colonel Monies post, No. 319, Grand
Army of the Republic, led by Captain
p. j. McAndrews, attended divine SER
vices at the Washburn Street Presby-
terian church last evening. The post
was accompanied by the Woman's Aid
circle, No. 10. The church, altar and
pulpit We're tastily adorned with flow
ering plants and the choir alcove was
trimmed with the national colors. A
large flag was draped overhead in the
| form of canopy relieved on either
side with smaller flags The whole
| producing a very pretty effect.
The trimming was done by William

tette consisting of Miss Smith, Mrs

Beynon materially assisted with sew
! eral selections.
| The audience was very large and tn,
patriotic sermon preached by the pas
tor, Rev. ]. p. Moffatt, was enjoyed

Moffatt spoke of the fact of his being
veterans son and that while h
preached to one post another post il
far off Indiana was probably carinI
for the grave of his father. The pos
was called the Moffatt post in honor O
his father.
The object of such an OCCASION

This is the second time within five
