Head Canght when Car Jumped and
SaYed His Life.
Clarence Philips had very mar
row escape from death on Friday even
ing. As a result of an accident on
tie Nj. & K. he had his arm terribly
mashed and but. for lucky eireum-
stance he would have been instantly
killed.
He, together with the Brakeman
Jeffers, was coming down to town af-
ter work hours. When just behind
the Public School building the car on
which they were riding Jumped the
track and run under the cliff which
hangs over the track at that point.
Jeffers escaped injury but Philips
was caught between the rock and the
car and his arm terrible mashed and
broken. After grinding up his arm
it started under his head and scratch
ed the side of his face very badly.
saving him from having his life
crushed out.
As it was he was very badly shaken
up and bruised. No internal injuries
were received as at first thought. He
was taken to Dr. Gibbons office and
DR.. Wade was called in by the latter
to assist in the operation in setting
the arm.
The bones were very badly mashed
and it took long time to get the
arm set. Time will show whether
the operation was successful one.
He may lose his arm later.
1t was reported that two large rocks
had fallen on the track causing the
accident but this mistake. What
caused the trucks to leave the track
is not known. Traffic was notdelayed
by the accident and the car was soon
back on the track. 1t was not dam
aged.

Connection is TO be made with the
West Virginia Central by means OF
the Coal and Iron Road which ex-

1T runs eastward from Elkins

FELL FROM A HIGH TOWER.

While attempting TO climb an iron
ladd running up the side of the high
water tower, situated on Mercer
Heights, just outside of Princeton,
N. j., at 5 o'clock yesterday evening.
Leonard Nj. Nash. of Bradford, Pa,
a student lost his hold and, falling.
about ITO feet, was instantly killed
In company with Robert Broksw
and s. L. Moore, freshmen from ST..
Louis, Nash started on cross country
walk early in the afternoon. 1t was
just about dusk when the two were
passing the tower on the return trip.
Nash, the other boys say, left them
without a word and began to mount
the trestle work which leads to the
ladder on the tower. The structure is
about 120 feet high, and Nash had
climbed about half the distance when
Moore also decided 10 try his hand at
the feat. He had climbed only about
twenty-five feet though. when his COM
oaDi0n near the top shouted, Look
out, am coming down."
Moore said he heard a noise as
though somebody was slipping on the
iron and then he was suddenly struck
on the head by the falling body. He
managed to keep his hold on the iron
bars. 1t was quite dark, but be realized
what had happened, and hurried 10 the
ground, where he found Brokaw, who
had remained standing below, bending
over the prostrated form.
Medical aid was summoned as soon
as possible, but Nash's neck had been
broken and he had been instantly
killed. Nash failed 10 enter college as
a freshman last September, but he has
been studying hard since and had re-.
Gently passed o number OF examina-
tions so that his enrolment 10 Febru-
ary was assured. He was popular
among the first year men. Word was
sent TO his home last night.
The tower is famous in Princeton's
history for the deeds of daring that
have been associated with it, and il is a
wonder that more accidents have not
occurred. 1t was formerly the custom
for the freshmen each year to climb the
structure and then, being lowered from
the top by ropes, to paint theta numer-
ais on the sides. Tue accident, ye ter
day however, was not connected with
che custom.

RoBBER CURED RHEUMATISM,

A visit from a robber is not what
most people would take to be a good
remedy for rheumatism, but that il
what Mrs. John Forester, IL south
Stricken street, Baltimore, says cured
her. Mrs. Forester was sufferer from
rheumatism for year and half, and
was absolutely dependent on heI
crutches. Everything elss having
proved failure, Mrs. Forester tried
prayer, until the coming of burglar
threw her into a state OF excitement,
from which she emerged with the full
use of her feet and limbs. She told the
story to reporter yesterday, as fol-
lows:
Saturday night the family retired

the stairs. Thinking that my daughter
might have gone down stairs,

answer. Afew moments later heard the

Mrs. Forester states that she be-
lieyed that Gods aid alone had cured
her. but there ia no doubt that the ner-
yous shock, coincldent to the robbery
was, 10 a measure, responsible for her
