A NARROW ESCAPE.
An Engineer Of the Delaware and
Hudson Road Has a Fall.

Warren Ellis, an engineer on the
Delaware and Hudson railroad. and
who lives at S5 River street, met with
an accident yesterday which may have
cost him his life, but from which he
escaped with injuries which will lay
him up for few days. He had been
marked OFF, to go out with an engine
which had Just come in, and the loco
motive was run into the round house
and over an ash pit to dump the ashes.
Oil can in hand he started to lubricate
the engine. The big engines take UP
so much room that there is but little
room between the brick walls and the
cab. This Is covered by sheets of iron.
AS Mr.. Ellis stepped alongside the
engine his foot slipped and he was pre-
cipitated into the ash pit ten feet be-
low. He went head first. There were
no hot ashes in the pit. 1t having just
been cleaned. or he would have been
terribly burned. When he fell his hat
was on his head and this circum-
stance probably saved his life. AS 1t
was. his head was severely cut, his
shoulder injured, and his thumb
sprained. Two Huns working in an
adjoining pit, ran to his aid, seeing
him fall, and when the reached him
ne was unconscious. They procured a
wheelbarrow and rolled him out He
was soon conscious and was able to
walk home by easy stages. with help.
DR.. Wheeler attended him and assured
the injured man that no bones were
broken and that he would be around
al right in a few days.
