A BOY MANGLED.
Leg Crushed by Car on the schuyikm
Traction Road.

Bernard l2-year-old son Of Adam Shasl<us
Of Gloyer's Hill, was dangerously injured
shortly after five o'clock last evening by a
truck on the Schuylkill Traction railway
The truck was being hauled by passenger car
No, 35, in charge Of Thomas Carroll motor
man. and a section boss named Flynn. The
truck was loaded with snow removed from
the company's track, and was making its last
trip for the day TO Ginrdville.
The boy injured was standing on an en-
bankment Of snow close TO the railway track
on West Coal street. near the flats, and when
the snow laden truck reached him he tried
to jump on the front end Of it, but slipped
and fell to the track. The wheels of the
truck crushed his left leg below the knee and
the right leg was badly confused and lacer-
ated.
The victim was removed to his home and
later to the Miners hospital, where an ex-
animation was made and DR.. Biddle decided
that amputadon below the knee would be
necessary. The boys condition was critical,
however, and the operation was not under
taken. A message from the hospital to-day
stated that the boy was almost pulseless.
DR.. d. John Price was called to the scene
Of the accident at 1880 o'clock last night. He
administered temporary treatment and, after
consultation with the boys father, concluded
to send the victim to the Miners hospital
An attempt was made TO have the boy placed
on a trolley car but the crew refused tC
carry him. The crew of following trolley
car also declined, but a third crew complied
with the request of the physician.
Among those who accompanied the boy t
the hospital was his father, a boarder snt
a friend. After reaching the hospital tn,
father preferred to remain there, while tn,
boarder walked back to Shenandoah, On hi
way he was assaulted by mis- friend who
went down in the car He relieved him o.
several dollars which he had in his pockets

THE COMING AUTOMOBILE.

n ISPATCHES from Washington announce that
| the Government has been experimenting with
- automobiles in the postoffice service and will
probably make extensive of them in that city and
in Porto Rico. That is a curious combination. The
national capital and outlying colony with a back
number civilization are to be made the scenes Of
postal progress while the country at large is to be
kept waiting.
1t would be impertnent, perhaps to inquire why
the Government has decided to make its experiments
in Washington and far-off island rather than in
San Francisco and Santa Clara Valley There are
good reasons for the decision. Some time in the past
an automobile, under the highest patronage and with
the best auspices started from New York for San
Francisco. The President and the Postmaster Gen
era as well as the rest of the country have doubtless
been watching that experiment with close attention
and have learned from it so much that in undertake
ing experiments of their own they have thought it
best to begin operations the smooth asphalt pave
Of the capital to try the country roads in
remote island "far off amid the melancholy main"
The action OF the Government will of course be
widely commended. 1t is we'll known the transconti-
mental automobile is The Calls automobile and the
people are always we'll pleased to see the Government
follow the leadership of The Call and profit by it.
Our automobile entered Ohio just before the
glorious primary elections OF this city in which all the
bosses and the yellow journal were swept from the
political horizon. In the uproar of that great event
the machine was lost sight Of but Ohio remains on
the map, and through the dawns early light it can
be seen the machine is still there.
AS there are women in Ohio with faces that have
been known to stop freight train, people may
suppose the automobile stopped in that way
Such a supposition would be erroneous. The self
propeling vehicle stopped in its way. 1t is not
the first thing that has stuck on Ohio and people
shouldn't be too curious in such matters.
In one respect the undertaking has been successful

PACIFIC COAST SURVEY.
Superintendent of the Service
Tells of the Work DONG.

The main work of the survey consists
in the preparation Of coast charts. AT
present charts of California, Oregon and
Washington coasts have been carried to
a good deal of accuracy, but in Alaska
the survey is meeting the most difficult
problem it has yet to face in the 100 years
of it's history. In Alaska are 20,0 900 miles
of uncharted coast. Navigation is still
further hindered by fogs. Until the last
five years but little need had been felt
for accurate charts of this region, but
within that time an enormous commerce
