ED SMITH HURT
He Was Thrown Out Of His Wagon
Last Night

The department responded to an alarm
of fire last night at s:15 o'clock from box 6S
corner Of Commercial and Wilmington
streets. The fire was in the Philadelphia
restaurant, kept by Antoine Avine al S25
Commercial street. 1t was caused by the
stovepipe's becoming too heated and set
ting fire to the paper on the wall. The dam
age was about $25. covered by insurance.
While going north on Alameda strna the
front axle on the wagon of Assistant Fire
Chief Smith crystallized in the hub Of the
right wheel and broke, causing the cart to
sag considerably on that corner. Smith
threw the weight Of his body onto the other
side, and in turning into Commercial street
the remaining front wheel bumped Into one
Of the Southern Pacific rails, which had
been left unguarded, and threw Smith over
the dashboard. At this juncture the horse
broke from the shafts and Smith fell to
the ground, striking on his left knee. His
leg was badly bruised and he will probably
be laid up for a week or so.

MET INSTANT DEATH.
Austrian Laborer Is Killed While Walk.
ing TO Work Along the Delaware
and Hudson Tracks.

Jacob Sova, an Austrian laborer. was
almost instantly killed by being run
down by a Delaware and Hudson pas
senger train yesterday morning near
the Elm street crossing. He was 3S
years old, native of GaliCia, and is
survived by a wife and three children,
all of whom live near Uniondale. Cor
oncr LOngstrcet was notified Of the ac-
ci1ent. but after hearing the particu-
lars. deemed an inquest unnecessary.
SOva and two companions were walk
ing toward the South mill where they
were employed. They were on the
tracks between Beech and Elm streets
wher Sova's companions heard the
approach of the south bound train,
which left the Lackawanna avenue de-
pct at $50 o'clock. They ran in order
t. gain convenient spot to stand upon
WnlC the train passed them.
Scva ran, too. but as he kept near
the rails ii is thought he did not know
why his companions were running, or
supposed the train was approaching
from the other direction. Flagman Mil
Itch. at the Elm street crossing, saw
Sova's danger as did the others. All
three shouted warning too late.
The engine hit Sova with such force
that one boot was jammed between the
pilot bars and his body retained an up
right position on the pilot until the
train was brought to a standstill when
the body rolled to the track and part
L. down the embanltment. Investiga-
ticn showed hole in the back of the
mans head and a broken leg. He had
died almost instantly after being hit,
Evidently Engineer Benscoter had
seen Sovas danger and tried to stop
the train as it was stopped within a
hundred yards from where Sova was
struck. Conductor Skeels was in
charge of the train, which is known as
y, g.
The body was delivered to Undertak-
er Majernyik, who will prepare it fol-
lurial
