Mr.. Patriskey had brought couple
of ladies to this city and was return

MILL WRIGHTS
TERRIBLE PLUNGE

George Sandel, Millwright at the
| Structural Tubing works, met with a
terrible fall Tuesday, escaping death
by the narrowest possible margin.
y new butfing machine is being in
stalled in the brazing department of
the works, which renders a counter
| shaft necessary. 1t was while work
ing at the new shaft, about } O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon, that the accident
occurred. The use of q block and tackle
was necessary and to fasten this over
head Mr. Sandel climbed up under the
roof and took his position in a knee,ing
posture on a beam about twenty feet
from the floor. In his hand he held
pair of irons resembling huge
tOngs to which the tackle was attach
ed. As he was leaning outward t0 hUol;
the irons on to one of the rafters he
lost his balance and those working
below were Mortified to see him plunge
downward head first.
As he left the beam, whether ill-ad-
vised o. not, he attempted to jump.
This had 10 other effect than to throw
him upon the new buffing apparatus,
which he struck with such force as to
bend out OF shape one of the large
iron shields, which is supported on
iron arms five-eighths of an inch thick
by over an inch wide. The large brass
oil cup, which was struck by the in
jured mans head, was broken squarely
off.
From the buffing machine Mr.. San
del rolled to the floor, where he lay
insensible with the blood streaming
from n cash above the left eye and
one on the back of the head. He was
picked up by his fellow workmen and
carried to the mill Office Dr. Curry
was called up who instantly started
for the works. Pending his arrival
restoratives were applied, which
brought the injured man back to part
ial consciousness.
DR.. Curry found no bones broken,
nor did the man seem to be seriously
injured. 1t was necessary to insert
several stitches in each of the two
gashes inflicted on his head. He was
driven to his home on Bloom street,
just outside the borough, in one of
Liverym&n Meyers carriages. About
s O'Clock that evening he was still in
a somewhat dazed condition. His face
was badly swollen and he complained
of pains III his side, but there was
nothing in his condition to create any
alarm and it is believed that he will
be about again in "a few days.

ImnroVementS at Poor Farm,

a new building has been erected at
the aims house of Danville and Mahon-
ing Poor District which fills a long
felt want. One portion of 1t is de-
signed as hospital for the treatment
of infectious diseases and the other as
quarters i'll which to shelter wayfarers
of the hobo type who apply at the poor
house for a nights lodging.
During an interview yesterday Poor
Ogerseer p NJ. Kerns stated that the
demands upon the district at present
are lighter than for many years past.
There are twenty inmates at the aims
house-fifteen males and five females,
while the amount paid out for outside
relief does not exceed ten or twelve
dollars per week. In addition to this
the crops at the poor farm were new
er better, so that the showing this
year will be gratifying to the officials
and encouraging to the tax payers.

RegainS Possession Of Child.

An incident occurred at Toby Run
just east of the borough, Tuesday
morning, which gave rise to an eX-
aggerated rumor Of kidnapping.
\ middle aged woman appeared in
this city and employed FRANK Sechler
to drive her mp to the Toby Run
school, where she asked for one of the
pupils. In response a little girl came
outside and at the sight of tho woman
ran to meet her with demonstration
of great delight. At the woman's re-
quest the child returned to the school
house and got her wraps. The woman,
with the child, then entered the cab
and ordered Mr. Sechler to drive back
to town in order 10 catch the 10 10 D..
l.. & W. train east The time was not
sufficient to reach the station and the
,5arty dove to the Hospital whore
they arrived just III time to flag the
train.
The unusual proceeding, the air OF
mystery about it and the haste with
which the whole thing was done up
caused no end Of talk and conjecture.
The facts relating to The affair are as
follows:
Some months ago Mrs. Miles Farms.
worth OF Mahoning township took in.
to her household a child belonging tc
family residing in Shickshinny
agreeing to care for it and raise it as
her own. The long and short OF il
seems to be that the mother repentina
of her bargain employed the means
above described to regain possession
