MET AN AWFUL DEATH
Workman Ground to Pieces In Wire
Making Machine.

NfdN'NiI lNdCnlnc.
Philadelphia, Dec. 7.-One of the
most horrible accidents reported within
recent date occurred in the Thomas
Hamilton Wire Works, when Frank
Taper, 40 years old, an expert work
man. was caught in one of the great
wire-making machines and ground 10
pieces before the eyes OF his fellow
workmen, and before any effort could
be made to save his life. So quickly
did the accident happen, and SO awful
was the scene, that all those who wit
messed il were horror-stricken, and
for minute or so could hardly move
from their places.
Taper found that something was
wrong with the machine. He was try
Ing 10 repair the damage, when the
next thing his fellow comrades saw
was his body being rapidly drawn
through the machine where the strands
Of wire were made.
SO quickly did it all happen that not
one of the men in the place could rem
der any assistance. Not a cry escaped
the lips of Taper, and almost as
quickly as he was caught in the intri-
cate machinery was his body grounl
to pieces, all except his head. TIE
police said it was one of the mosr
frightful cases they ever handled.

soMRARDINe RUSSIAN SHIPS
Japanese Shells Set Fire to Several In
Port Arthur Harbor.

Toxic, Dec. THE effective bonn
bardment of the Russian battleships
In Port Arthur, which began on Sat
urday last, was one of the results of
the capture of 20S-Meue Hill. Up to
that time the warships had been able
to seek shelter from the Japanese fire
under Peiyu Mountain, but the cap
ture of 203-Metre Hill November 1890
enabled the Japanese to train their
guns on the Russian vessels, with the
result that a number of them have
been set on fire, and the others must
either put To sea or suffer irreparable
damage
The Port Arthur besiegers report
as follows:
"On Saturday, December. 3, our
naval guns bombarded the enemy's
ships. The Pobieda (battleship) was
struck six times, a vessel of the Ret
vizan (battleship) type was hit eight
times and on other ships 16 shells
took effect.
"On Monday, following the same
plan, the Pobieda was hit seven times,
the Poltava (battleship) IL times and
the RetviZan IL times. At about 8
o'clock in the afternoon one of our
shells struck a magazine south of
Peiyu Mountain, causing heavy ex-
plosion. The conflagration which fol
lowed was not extinguished for two
hours.
'The same day our heavy guns were
directed at the enemy's ships. The
Peresviet (battleship) was struck
twice, and two more shells were lodged
In other ships. A vessel of the Poltava
type was observed to be on fire for
one hour, sending up grbat volume
of smoke.
