Killed in the Nine.
Peter Mcclure recently came here
from Nanticoke, Pa. and engaged
work in the New York companv's
mine. While at work Monday he was
struck on the back by fall of coal,
mourning injuries from which he died
few hours later. With his partner,
Michael Lyons, he was loading a car
when a mass of coal and slate fell on
him, Mr.. Lyons narrowly escaping.
Mr. Mcclure, a stranger here, very
little is known of his antecedents and
family. His father and four sisters,
residents of Nantcoke, Pa, survive.
He was one of eight sons, all Of whom
are now dead. Just before he died he
requested that all his property be
given to his sister Annie. All who
gained acquaintance with him speak
of him AS an industrious, quiet, good
man. He had been here about a
month, boarding with 7. J. Kenny, at
Aliegany, to whose family he had be-
come attached, especially to the four
children. These. therefore, take Mr.
MEG TRES death AS almost IL family
bereavement. He would have been IS
years olu vi 'ue lJ|u lilS'. MI. heuuS
sent the remains to Nanticoke on
Tuesday. A jury of inquest, EN-
paneled by justice ID. j. Williams,
after hearing Messrs. Michael Lyons,

spector Alex. Rankin, Michael Arnona
and DR.. J. Marshall Price. rendered Il

Rev. d. NJ. Mccormick, assistant
pastor of St. Michael's Church, has
been appointed by Cardinal Gibbons
as assistant priest at St. Martins
Catholic Church, Baltimore. Or
dained to the priesthood about two
years ago. he was at once assigned to
pastoral duty here under Rev. S. J.
Clarke. His interest in and industry
among the young people of the parish
have made him very popular with all
classes. His transfer to Baltimore is,
therefore, learned with regret. He
left for his new charge Tuesday even
ing. AS testimonial of affection St.
Michael's Society. of which he was
chaplain, presented him with purse
of $l4l, and then, in a crowd number
ing over 200, escorted him to the train
as goodbye evidence of the general
and profound regret with which he
was given up. The members of the
Society carried canes tied with red,
white and blue ribbons. He will be
remembered here as able, eloquent
and earnest in the altar, and care
full, impartial, genial pastor when
among his flock.
