AT MAYFIELD YARD
Harry Mum, Aged 1S Years, of
Mayfeld, Run Down While Leav-
ing Work for Home-Both. Feet
Terribly Mangled, and Amputated
Later at Emergency Hospital,
Where He Died at II O'Clock.


While he was hluriedly rushing from
his work in the Ontario and Western
round-house at Mayfield yard. last
evening, in eager anticipation of reach
ing his home in Maytleld, Harry Num-
aged Is years, was run down by Il train
and had both feet 50 fearfully crushed
and mangled that they had to be ampu-
tated by the surgeons at Emergency
hospital, whittier he was taken immedl-
ately after the distressing accident. He
also lost three fingers of one of his
hands. He failed TO rally from the
operation and died at II o'clock.
The happening took place just after
$50, when the days work at the round
house and repair shops was over The
rOund-house is at the northwestern
edge of the yard. Directly in front of
the openings are the score or so of
tracks that cover the yard. Mum hur-
ried away from his labor With.the GUS
tomary rush that follows the freedom
of toll in IL workshop and stepped in
front of a coal train that was being
backed into the yard. 1t was conduc-
tor james Quinn's train, Emery Rolls,
engineer, and had just come from one
of the breakers down the valley.
Mum was evidently bent on getting
ahead of the train to avoid being de-
tanned while it was being backed or
switched. He was not active enough,
and either stumbled or was knocked
down. Several ears passed over the
luckless youths feet, Just above the
ankle, and three of his fingers were
crushed so badly that they, too, had to
be amputnted.
Mum was conveyed in Il caboose a =
far as the Scott street crossing of the
Ontario and Western, thence TO the
hospital The feet We're amputated just
above the ankles.
Mum made no rally whatever. The
shock was so great that he succumbed
at II o'clock without even getting out
of the influence of the anaesthetic.
Mum was the son of Charles Mum,
who is brakeman on Conductor
Frutchey's passenger train on the On
tarlo and Western. He was well known

Women S
H|andkerCniefS

Plain handkerchiefs beginning at
1Oc. for women are good enough for
everyday.
At 25c. there are two kinds. One
is known as the sheer and the other
as the heavy, and the heavy looks
to be great deal better quality, but
it isn't. The difference is that the
thread in the sheer is twisted harder
than in the heavy. They are about
1Oc. better than usual 25c. handker-
chiefs.
The comparison between the SOC.
and 25c. sheer and the SOC. and Csc.
heavy is so plain that any one can
see it. The soc. handkerchief is
worth more than double the 25c.,
and the hemstitching is done by
hand. No wonder they are so dainty
the linen and work are both
French.

They are all alike in one respect, and

a tender yearning for the scenes which

The LIGHT CONTRACT
( CHANGED ONCE MORE

Mr.. Humphrey at Last Nights
Meeting of Select Council Had Or
dinarice Reconsidered and the Con-
tracts for City Building and Hose
Houses Changed to Three Years
Each.
The oft-debated lighting contracts for
he city building and the two hose
houses was subjected to another
change. The latest revision has re-
suited in making the contracts for a
period of three years each, instead Of
five for the hose houses and three for
the city building.
1t was at a special meeting of select
council that the notifications took
place After the meeting opened, Mr.
Murphy moved to reconsider the
amendment of Monday night last, when
on his motion, the ordinance awarding
the contract for lighting the city
building to the Carbondale Gas COM
pany was changed from one year to
three years. and the ordinance giving
the contract for Illuminating the hose
houses was made to read five years,
were so amended. Mr.. Humphreys
reason for the change was for the pur-
pose of saving the city the difference
between short and long contract.
However, there is considerable Oppo-
stion in councils against long term
contract. Mr.. Humphrey. in the mean
time became aware of this. and not
desirous of stirring up that opposition,
he moved for reconsideration, sub
stituting the changes as set forth in
the opening paragraph of this article.
The electric light contractors changed
to three years, so as TO be uniform
with the one for gas covering the city
building.
Mr.. Mannion expressed himself as
being unalterably opposed to any con-
tract that would read for more than
one year. Such contract would op-
crate against municipal ownership, If
such movement be made in the mean
time; and for this reason he could not
consistently be in favor of long con-
tracts since it was municipal ownership
platform that he was reelected on last
spring.
The ordinances were changed as
moved for by Mr.. Humphrey, and were
given to committee. The committee
reported favorably forthwith and Or
dered them to be printed.
The changed ordinances will be in
print by tonight and will be passed
on first reading at another meeting Of
select council. They will be passed
finally at meeting to be held OH Mon
day evening, and will then go to COM
mon council. This expedition is called
for. by the circumstance that these
light contracts are somewhat belated;
they should have been awarded sew
sral months ago.
