Driftwood.
A distressing accident occurred here on
Sunday morning by which James Carey,
of Ncwberry, Pa, received injuries from
which he died on Monday morning
Carey and two companions came here
from Sinnamahoning to attend the Easter
service in the Catholic church After
the service they started to walk back,
but went but a short distance out of
town when freight train came along
and they concluded to board it. Carey
grabbed the hand-holds of car but was
unable to retain mis- hold and was thrown
under the car, the wheels passing over
his left leg, mangling it in irightful
manner. The wheels also caught his
right leg and tore the flesh off it from
knee to ankle, but luckily, no bones were
broken. He was taken to DR.. CoIbetts
Office where his left leg was amputated by
DR.. Corbett and Dr. Smith, who had
been telegraphed for and came down on
special train. The young man was tax
en- to Williamsport hospital on Erie Mail
on Sunday night and he died in that in
stitution on Monday morning. He was
a bundler in Barclay Bros kindling wood
factory, at Sinnamahoning, and was a son
of Patrick Carey, Of Newberry.
"Pap" Blodget the organizer of the
S. l.. c., narrowly escaped eternal exter-
mination while here one evening last
week, looking for material for member
ship in that club. The exterminating
committee of the anti-prevarication and
expectoIation league, located him plying
his nefarious trade; they drew their beer
bottles, took deadly aim and-drank.
In the excitement that followed the willy
old fellow disappeared around the corner
and kicked himself because he couldn't
pick pockets as well as he can pick ver-
acity to pieces.
w. H. Roach. who previous to his re-
moval to North Bend, was at the mead of
the local Democratic organization, has
again taken up his residence in our midst.
After he gets rightly settled he will pay
attention to the Democratic political
fences which have heavy clean" and are
generally wobbly. He will rally his
forces for Bryan and Dewey" petticoat
government, free-silver, anti-expansion,
anti-fat, anti-lean, anti-everything Repub-
lican. Billy is a good citizen and an en-
ergetic fellow, but woefully off on politics,
from Republican point of view.
The friends of commissioner Charles
Gleason and Dr. Corbett were gratifed
at the political honors bestowed upon
them by the Republican convention last
week 1t was, however, but a just recog-
milton of this borough's sound and con-
sistent Republicanism.
