Thomas Mcdonnell, OF Franklin
street, Sport Hill, had narrow es-
cape from instant death while at his
work In the Gypsy Grove colllery Of
the Pennsylvania Coal company yes
terday afternoon.
Mcdonnell, who is employed as a
foot-tender, was doing his usual duties
of placing the loaded cars on and
taking the empty ones off the carriage.
when he stepped backwards and fell
into the "sump," the car coming down
on top of him. He had failed to notice
that the carriage was not at the land
ing, hence his fall. The space where
he was caught by the car was not
great and this probably saved his life,
as 1t held the carriage which was on
its downward journey, from squeezing
him.
When taken out 1t was found that
his right knee was severely injured by
the car falling upon it, He was re-
moved to his home and DR.. Garvey
called in, who stated, after a. careful
examination, that no serious results
are entertained. although he will be
confined 80 his home for some time to
come.
