DEATH OF AGED CITIZEN.
J. A. Wellington, One of the Best
Known Residents of this Sec.
ton, Dies Suddenly.

in this county, j. A. Wellington, bet
ter known as Duke" Wellington, by
which name he passed for all the time he
has lived here. died very suddenly this
morning at about s:15 o'clock, on his
farm, northeast OF this city.
His death was very sudden. He was
in the city yesterday as usual it being
his custom to drive to the city almost
every day of his life. He was in conver-
sation with a number of people yester-
day and did not leave for his home until,
rather late in the afternoon. This morn
ing he arose as usual and went to his
fields, and while there was suddenly
taken ill with violent cramps. he was
taken to the house Of his nephew, who
resides close by, where he died.
When he was taken sick, DR.. Capps
was hurriedly summoned. but he died
before the doctor arrived there
DR. Capps made no autopsy on the
body and was not positive as to the act
ual cause of death. 1t may have been
an attack of apoplexy, the deceased be-
ing quite large man, or it may have
bsen fatty degeneration of the heart, .
conclusion which DR.. Capps says is moro
than probable.
Duke" Wellington, as he was famil-
iarly known was q man very peculiar in
his habits of life and in his tempera-
ment. He has had number OF matri-
monial experiences. all more or less ex-
citing, save the last, which was as near
happy married existence, 80 it il said, a.
it was possible for the deceased to 60
euro. He had an ungovernable temper,
when excited or troubled and he made
things very uncomfortable for all those
about him. He was divorced from all
those women he called wife save those
that died, and the present wife, who
came nearer being his ideal or who
seemed to be more able to control his
fits of temper than any Of those who pre-
ceeded her.
Duke Wellington was possessed OF
considerable property. He was the own
er of the building on Main street now
occupied by the Anderson Bargain
House, besides owning considerable acre
age property in tho valley. Notwit tn
standing the fact that he was peculiar in
disposition, he was good citizen and
strove for the upbuilding OF the valley.
he came to this city among the v.ry
first, having resided here about eighteen
years.
He received the lot on Main street
from the late Governor Crawford and
always held to it as valuable piece Of
property.
The deceased was born in Massachu.
sstts, and was IA years OF age. He has
been a man of rugged constitution and
in looking at him yesterday. general
judgment would have been, from his
physical appearance, that he would live
many years. His days of sickness have
been few and far between, in life and
his sudden taking off, was great sur
prise to his many old time friends and
citizens
Only one son, so far a. known. remains
of his family. He resides at Fitchburg,
Mass.
Arrangements for the funeral have not
been entirely completed His body was
brought to this city this morning by
Undertaken Bannistsr, and will be en-
balmed to await news from the son, to
see what disposition he desires made Of
the body.

One More Step Would Have Taken Mrs.
Fultz to her Doom.

Mrs. Margaret Futz East Mahoning
street yesterday, stood face to face with
death in a terrible form, the escape being
one Of literally a hair breadth.
Mrs. EuItz, who Is an elderly lady.
was returning from the other side of
town along Church street, She reached
the D. /. < W, crossing just as the
1919 passenger train, east, came rolling
in to the station.
Mrs. Fultz, however who is quite
deaf, did not hear the train and stepped
upon the crossing at the very moment
the ears came along The onlookers
were Mortified and averted their faces,
as the woman seemed in the very act of
stepping in front Of the wheels
She did escape, however, but on such
a narrow margin that the locomotive as
1t dashed by knocked a bag of sugar
out of her hands. So narrow was the
escape that theengineer was sure he had
struck the woman and stopped the train
on the spot.
1t is thought that Mrs. Futz at the
very last moment discovering that the
train was upon her involuntarily threw
out her hands, which were struck by the
cylinder of the locomotive.
The woman escaped injury from the
cars, although yesterday afternoon she
was prostrated from the effect of the
terrible fright

Daniel H. Smith Sustaius a Fracture Of the
Skull

The Reading Iron works about ,
O'Clock Thursday afternoon was the
scene of a shocking accident, which
about an hour afterward re-ulted in The
death of well known and valued en-
| poye.
Among the workmcn employed on the
site of the old puddle mill clearing the
way for the new superstrucme beng
| built was Daniel II. Smith, for a number
of years past engineer III the skeIP mill,
who with some others wa, eusaggd i'm
! taking down the steam pipe, the tull
! system of which, some : or S inches in
| diamete was left by the recent fire hang
| ing in position some fifteen feet from the
ground. Mr.. smith Wa standing on a
ladder which leaned against the pipe,
! engaged in unfastening joint at one
| end Of section. The joint at the other
end ha already been br. ken, which. it
seems, weakened the piping beyond
what they had calculated upOn and it
| began to give way Mr. Smith seeing
his danger Ieaped from the ladder onto
! the top Of the furnace unfortunately
right on the spot where the pipe fell. 1t
struck him upon the skull, bearing him
to the brickwork and pjnning his head
under the immense weight.
It was death blow. The man scarce
~ struggled. Tie scalp was torn from
one side of his head and the blood
streaming out formed a horrible pool,
which ran down over the side Of the
furnace in stream
1t was a sickenIug spectacle, but will
ing hands were not wanting to release
ana minister to the injured workman.
Drs. J. Il. kjmerer and E. A Curry in
response to a call were soon on the spot.
A cursrry examination convinced the
doctors that the man was beyond all
help. The injury consisted of a very blj
fracture of the skull, involving one half
of the heal. The man WAS unconscious.
He was placed upon a sretcher and
borne by six Of his fellow workmen the
start was made on the ,&d journey home
ward. He was carried as far as Harry
Ellenbogens' store, Mill street, where
he was placed on Doster's furniture wag-
on and thus conveyed to his home where
he breathed his last about O'Clock.
The deceased was sixty years of age
and unmarried. For MANY wears past

Frank Newbaker Badly injured.

Frank Newbaker, son of DR.. P. &.
Newbaker, this city, yesterday met with
a most unfortunate accident, one which
will render him cripple for life. For
several mouths past Frank has been en-
ployed in the handle factory of the
shovel works, where he operates handle
turning lathe.
The machine consists of a sort of
cylinder revolving very rapidly in which
are set series of knives that act upon
the square stick of wood designed for
handle.
About half past 10 o'clock yesterday
morning the lathe became clogged up
with shavings and to clean it out Frank
reached in under the cylinder with his
left hand, as he had frequently done be-
fore. While in the act his hand unfort-
unately was caught by the rapidly re-
volying knives and drawn into the
machinery.
In the twinkling of an eye the greater
part Of the hand was chopped into bits,
leaving only the thumb and forefinger
intact TO be prepared for such an en-
ergency the company has supply of
stimulants and other necessary requisites
on hand, 80 that the injured man was
well taken care of while word was sent
to his father and an effort made to reach
several other physicians by telephone.
Dr.. |. G.. Barber and Dir. Newbaker soon
arrived at the shovel works. Frank was
placed in DR.. Barber's buggy and driven
to the Office of Dr. Paules, where the
terrible injury was dressed the follow
ing physicians assisting: Drs Paules,
Kemerer, Curry, Barber, Wintersteen
and Newbaker
The entire outside half of the hand is
gone, including the little finger, the
ring finger and one-half of the middle
finger, also the metacarpal bones, lin
the palm belonging to the little and
ring fingers along with several small
bones Of the wrist.
Last evening the patient was resting
easily

|OHN GILLESPIE
HAS A DOUBLE
Jailed at Pottsville for a Crime Committed
by Another.

NJ. 7. Mclaughlin, Esq, Of Pottsville
District Attorney of SchuyIkiu county,
arrived in this city Tuesday night for the
purpose Of looking up evidence which
may result in establishing a case of false
Imprisonment, restoring to liberty a
young man of good family who has
seven years Of prison life ahead of his.
About , O'Clock in the morning of
February 4th last daring hold-up along
with one OF more burglares was COM
mitted in PottsviIe. During the after
noon of that day man 10y the name of
Jno Gillespie was arrested as one of the
guilty parties, the identity being estab-
Iished by a citizen who encountered the
robbers the night before. The man pro-
tested his innocence, but was held for
court, found guilty, and sentenced to
seven years Imprisonment in the county
jail
While awaiting trial Gillespie wrote
to the Chief of-Police Of Sunbury re-
minding him that on the night of sun
day, February 8, and the morning of
the 4th when the robbery for which he
was accused was committed he was in
the lookup at that place. The Chief-of-
Police was one of the witnesses at the
trial but he was not quite positive as to
his dates so that his testimony fell short
of its object.
Gillespie, although of habits that
would bear reform, it appears, belongs
to very good family Of Pittston. 1t
was not until after his incarceration that
his relatives learned of his predicament
They Immediately interested themselves
in his behalf and are now back of the
movement to secure his release.
Gillespie claims that on the night of
Saturday, February 2nd he was given
shelter in the lookup at this place, pro,
ceeding the next day to Sunbury, where
as before stated he spent the night fol
lowing. A correspondence was opened
with Chief Of Police Mincemoyer when
it was learned that the latter has in his
possession evidence which may prove
potent in accomplishing the object
in view.
Our policemen it appears are in the
habit of keeping a record of every hobo
sheltered by the borough and referring
to the list they found that the name-Gil-
Iespie-was there as claimed in connec-
ton with the date Of February 2 Chief
Mincemoyer has no difficulty in recall
ing Gillespie who, he says, was about %
years of age and something of hobo IN
appearance He was let out Of the lock-
up between 9 and 10 O'Clock Sunday
morning and our officers are pretty well
convinced that he left here for Sunbury.
The evidence obtained is relied upon to
establish an alibi by fixing the date of
the night spent in Sunbury as that of
February 3rd.
Gillespie's greatest ohense, it appears,
consists in bearing a marked resemb-
ance to one Of the robbers that operated
in PottsviIle His case is to be laid be-
fore the Board of Pardons at its next
meeting and Mr. McLaughlin's visit to
this city Tuesday was for the purpose
of obtaining such evidence a the board
may demand
