CONDUCTOR RYAN
SERIOUSLY INJURED
Had Limb So Badly Injured
That Amputation Was
\ Necessary.

FreiGht Conductor Elijah Ryan. of
the d. NJ & V. Railroad. well known
to most people along the line from
Harrington to Franklin City. was so
badly injured while performing his
duties at Greenbackville. Thursday
night. that it was necessary TO ampu-
tate one of his legs. Mr.. Ryan was
standing on the rear of the caboose of
the freight car when it was crashed in
to by another train that was shifting on
the yard.
Mr. Ryan's left leg was caught be
tween the cars. and the bone and flesh
literally ground to pulp. DIR. Paul
Jones. who is the physician of the
Pennsylvania railroad at this point. was
summoned, and accompanied by DIR.
William ID. Straughn, he left here short
after nine O'Clock on special train
which had been sent from Franklin
City. On reaching Greenbackville they
found the injured man suffering in
tensely from his wound. After con
sultation the physicians decided that
his leg would have to be amputated and
that il would be better to take him tn
Salisbury where he could have daily
treatment at the Peninsula Hospital.
Accordingly, he was taken by special
train to Salisbury, where his leg was
amputated. The injured man bore the
trip with great fortitude, smoking a
pipe, and chatting pleasantly with his
attendants. Drs Jones and Straughn
left Salisbury about five o'clock Friday
morning On a snpcial train and rpnorted
Mr.. Ryan doing well when they left his
bedside. A few years ago, Mr. Ryan
came near losing his life by being
thrown down an embankment at the
mill pond near Snow HILL
Mr.. Ryan is native of the upper
part of this county. and is one of the

FIRE NEAR WILTON
DESTROYS RESIDENCE
Home of Benjamin T. Davis is
Burned. Narrow Escape
of the Children

The house of Mr.. Benjamin L. Davis.
Friday night The fire broke out be-
tween seven and eight o'clock. and be-
fore Mr. Davis. who is a sawyer. had
returnydN from his saw mill. At the
time 81 the fire his young wife and two
small children were the only occupants
of the house. The children had been
ing the return of her husband and step
son to give them their supper. Mrs.
Davis went TO the sitting room for few
minutes. leaving two lamps burning in
the kitchen. On her return she was
alarmed to find that one of the lamps
had exploded and set fire to the ceiling
of the room. With great presence of
mind she set to work to extinguish the
flames. and thought she had done so,
but on going out doors she was Mortified
to see the flames bursting through the
roof. The flames were seen about the
same time by MIR. Robert Shockley who
lived half mile distant. Mr.. Shockley
ran to his sta BILE. and jumping on mule,
rode him at IA break neck speed to the
assistance of the heroic woman. The
youngest child was brought out of the
burning house wrapped in the bed
clothes in which its mother had put il
to sleep only a short time before. With
the assistance of a colored man they saw
cd some of the furniture, but the great
bulk was destroyed. None of their cloth
ing was saved. and besides their furni-
ture they lost all their canned fruit, two
new carpets which they had just pur-
chased. new bicycle, and numerous
articles. When Mr.. Davis returned. in
stead of a smiling wife. and steaming
coffee and hot supper. which he had
been looking forward to. he found dis
tracted wife. his children in a pitiable
state. and heap of smouldering ashes
where his home had stood. Mr.. Davis
is hard working man. true friend. a
helpful neighbor. and this last misfor.
tune. following series of calamities. is
IA severe stroke to him. Much sympa-
thy is felt for him and his family in his
loss. The insurance on his house was
$3.50, which sum will not cover one-half
of his loss.

Joseph M. w. Newlin Of Philadelphia.
counsel for George Rice Of Marietta,
O., filed today in the court of chancery
bill for the dissolution of the Stau-
dard Oil company, New Jersey
corporation. They allege that the
company is illegal and that it exists
in violation of the antitrust laws of
the United States, and of the decis
ions n this state relating to mono
poles. The bill alleges that the
STANDARD Oil company in Ohio was
declared illegal by the courts of that
state, but that the company, instead
of dissolving, in obedience to that
decision, has by subterfuge, evaded
the Ohio decision and that the New
Jersey corporation is merely a holding
company for the Ohio concern. The
bill asks that not only the company
be dissolved, but that its assets be-
distributed among it's stockholders
after paying off its outstanding secur-
titles, For the accomplishment Ct
this purpose, it is asked that re-
ceiver be appointed.
