ADRIFT ON AN ICE FLoE.
Experience of Railway Lad in .
Swist Current

New York. Feb. 22-Tony Russo. four
nothing TO do yesterday afternoon and
thought he could pass away the time play
ing on the ice on the Railway River
Just above the railroad bridge Russo and
several chums were enjoying themselves
when the ice began to crack. Tony's COM
panlons jumped, leaving him farthest flom
the shore, standing on the largest cake.
The current was running very fast and
Tony was carried along down the river his
shouts attracting attention from both
shores. As he passed under the Bridge
street Bridge several ropes were thrown
10 him from the shore and bridge. but none
came near enough for Tony to catch. The
same thing happened al the Monroe Street
Bridge. Tonys cries could be heard a
great distance
William Toms tinsmith working on
the roof of a new building in Main Street
hearing the cOmmOtiOn, dropped his rOns
and picked up a piece of board. He then
ran TO the river. where he found row
boat, which be boarded and padded after
Tony, who was TWO blocks ahead and from
appearances increasing his lead.
When the ice was near Milton Avenue
drawbridge the cake on which Tony was
perched took lucky turn. carrying him
toward the trestlework that hangs very
near the water al that point
Tony standing on his toes was just able
10 grasp one of the crossbars on the iresile
There he hung waiting for help. Toms.
padding with all his might, reached Tony
when he was exhausted from the exer.ion
of holding himself suspended. As ;he boat
touched Tony's feet he sank into the bot
tom, fainting.
Toms worked the boat to the shore
where Tony quickly recovered. Then he
ran home.
Tony's trip on the Ice made quarter OF
mile. and he hung from the timber near
ly three minutes.

SAVE HIS WIFE PARIS GREEN.
Fiendish Treatment of Woman d,
Her Husband.

New York. Feb. 22.-Patrick ]. Taylor.
watchman of 432 Pearl Street gave his
wife paris green, and then told the police.
who yesterday found the woman apparent
ly diving. She wore only night clothing.
All the bedclothing had been taken away
and all the windows opened. A doctor
found the woman's tongue burned, and
she said her husband had burned il with
a hot poker.
Taylor told the police he wanted to get
rid of his wife. He said he had taken
some of the poison himself
He said that on Thursday he gave his
wife a teaspoonful of paris green and took
one himself and that he repeated the dose
on Saturday. The police were astounded
at his coolnesS. He said he wanted TO get
rid of his wife because she was Old.
Detectives ran with the man TO the
house and in bedroom found the woman
groaning. The room was cold. The detec-
tives got bedclothing and wrappsd the wo-
man up. They accused Taylor of having
taken the bedclOthing away and opened
the windows so that his wife would catch
cold and die If the poison failed. but Tay-
lor denied this. saying the rooms were a.
ways aired. A whisky glass which con-
tanned sediment of paris green was found
IN coal scuttle.
DR.. McNeider came from the Hudson
Street Hospital and his stomach pump af-
torded the woman some relief. Taylor de-
MED that he had burned his wife's tongue
with a poker. The woman said she had
eaten nothing since last Thursday. and
that she had taken only a drink of whisky
all day yesterday.
She could speak but little. and then only
with great effort The doctor said her
case was serious. She was taken to the
hospital and her husband to the Oak
Street stationhouse. There he soon be-
came i'll and was sent TO the hospital.

Tins at Gnberton Coiliery.
The Gilbcrton colliory, operated by the
Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Com
pany, has been experiencing an exceptionally
unfortunate course Of events during the past
ten days and the officials are earnestly wish
ing for a favorable change
The misfortuncs started week ago last
Monday with an explosion Of gas precipitated
by fire that smouldered for about I've
months, aud resulted in the burning Of the
inside foreman, George Thomas, whe suffered
but slightly, however. This explosion re-
suited in a fire that has caused an abandon
ment Of that section Of the mine. The West
Buck Mountain vein is being sealed mp from
the fourth lift to the fan shaft, in order that
the fire may be smothered. The work of
sealing the place will be completed by the
close of this week.
The abandonment of this section Of the
mine will not prove the loss to the operators
that many people 6rst thought it would
That part was in process of robbinR and it
will only take about six months to clean It
out Only a small number of men were en-
ployed in il.
The next accident in the mine occurred on
Monday afternoon, last, when John Catsmus,
resident of Turkey Run and employed as
bottom man in the slope, had his right leg
caught at the knee between the bumpers of
cars. Although the squeeze was bad one
meme of the men at the mines had an idea
that it would result fatally. The limb
was bleeding freely and some of the men
made tight binding above the seat of injury
to stop the loss of blood. Cotsmus was taken
| to the Miners hospital and died there yester-
day from exhaustion due to loss of blood.
The squeeze did not crush the limb but it
ruptured one of the main arteries. The
victim was 80 years old and married.
The surprising news of this death had
hardly been received when another accident
| occurred, resulting in the injury of two men
| by an explosion of powder. One of the
victims, Joseph Mutukavage, a single man
"a years old and residing at Gilberton, is at
the Miners hospital His condition is serious,
but his chances for recovery are good. The
second victim was young man named James
Reilly, also of Gilberton, and employed as a
driver. His injuries are not very serious
and he is being cared for at home.
The circumstances of this accident are in
teresting, in that they present an instance
proving that accidents will sometimes befall
the mine worker in spite of precaution
