wrestling and the two young men

friendly match. They doffed coats and
hats and were soon wrestling about
the room. They seemed to be very
evenly matched and the first round re-
suited with honors even. The struggle
continued when suddenly Kilhullen ut

loosened his hold. The injured man
complained of his leg and being un-
able to stand on 1t a surgeon was called
who, after an examination. announced

Liverymen Vandervort and Boards
lee had the misfortune to have a valu-
able team of horses killed on Satur-
day afternoon. Mr.. Charles Follery, a
driver for the above firm, had charge
of the team and was at the Mount
Jessup breaker getting a load of coal.
After securing the load of coal, he
drove from under the chutes out upon
the crossing. a Delaware, Lackawan-
ma and Western engine backing down
with trip of cars was only u short
distance away, and before Foley re-
allied his danger the engine was upon
him. Just as the engine struck the
outfit, Foley Jumped and landed upon
his side on a heap of rocks. The ten
der of the engine crashed into the
horses, killing them both. The wagon
was dragged considerable distance.
The crossing where the accident oc-
CURED is a very dangerous one. The
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
tracks pass by the breaker within a
few feet. When the breaker is run
ming il is impossible to hear an ap-
preaching train. This is the third ac-
cident of a similar nature that has
occurred within Il few years at the
crossing, one of which was fatal.

JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

An unoccupied dwelling house on the
East Side, the property of John Nc
Goff, was destroyed by fire on Satur-
day evening. The fire was discovered
about O'Clock and an alarm at once
sounded. The Artesians and Crystals
both responded but on account of the
nearest fire plug being frozen and the
delay in getting connection with an
other plug the fire had obtained such
firm hold that it was impossible to
save the property from complete de-
struction. AS there was no one living
in or near the house at the time it
seems probable that it was purposely
set on fire. The loss will fall heavily
on the owner, who carried but a very
small insurance on the property.
