Killed at BlOomgburT.

His head crushed so badly that the
brains oozed out upon his face, caused
by being caught under the falling side
of sewer excavation, upon which he
was working, Charles Savits, of
Bloomsbury, was instantly killed Sat
urday morning
The unfortunate victim of this most
distressing accident, who was plumb
er by trade, was employed in the bot
tom of the ditch, which is about eight
feet in depth, making the joints and
placing the pipe in position. He had
just completed the laying of one sec
| tion of pipe, and reaching up, took
another piece from +. d. Marr, anoth-
er employee, who was standing on the
top of the ground. Savits turned and
bending over, was in the act OF plac-
ing the terra Gotta pipe when MARI
felt the side give way, and yelled a
word Of warning to his fellow work
man, at the same time jumping to the
other side, but it was too late. No
sooner had the words left Mars lips
than a mass of earth and stones fell
with dull, crushing thud, and caught
its victim in u stopping position liter
ally crushing his life out. The impact
of tons of dead weight forced the
man S face against the side that was
still standing, splitting the skull from
the top of the forehead TO the end of
the nose Willing hands hastily un-
covered tho body and the remains were
tcnderly removed to the sidewalk
Death had been instantaneous.
The deceased is survived by an aged
mother, wife and four children one
son and three daughters.
Ill luck and misfortune seems to fol
low this family. William Slvits,
father of TINS latest victim, was kill

thirty four years ago, and brother,
Benjamin Sayits who was timer,
met his death 10y falling from the
roof of the Exchange Hotel about
twelve years ago, aud it was the mis-
fortune only few weeks ago to bury
a daughter who was yet in tender
years.
