BRIDGE TENDER KILLED
ThOS. DisharOOn the Unfortunate
at PocOmOke City z. r. Bridge

A serious railroad accident occurred
at Pocomoke City, at 2.45 O'Clock Mon
day afternoon on the New York, Phila-
delphia and Norfolk railroad bridge
spanning the Pocomoke river, in which
south. bound freight train was almost
completely wrecked. and the bridge
tender, Thomas DishaI Don, of that city
lost his life. The bridg had been swung
few minutes before to allow a vessel
to pass through, and Disharoon was
about in the center of the bridge, which
he had completely adjusted, with the
exception of two rails which projected
in an upward direction ! and which al
ways have to be hammered down before
the trains can again pa is over the bridge
At this juncture tht, freight was dis
covered approaching almost at full
speed. Disharoon and his assistant.
Robert Henderson,. the latter being at
the end of the bridge nearest the train.
Immediately began waving their hats
| to the engineer ,/but seeing that it was
impossible for Che engine to be stopped
before reaching them, they sought
means of safety. Henderson jumped
through an opening under the bridge
upon some ties and thus escaped. Disha.
aroon. however. ran at full speed away
from the approaching engine toward
the station house, and had reached the
end of the bridge and was OH the poin
of leaping from the track when he was
struck by the engine and thrown from
the track in an uncon scious condition.
The cars Immediately following the
engine had by this time, owing to the
projecting rails. jumped the track. and
the remainder of the train piling up OH
them caused the fourth car from the
engine to be overtu ned upon the un-
conscious Disharoon. The unfortunate
man was in a fearfully mangled condi-
ton when finally eXtricated from the
debris His right leg had been COM
pletely severed at the knee. his left foot
taken off. his right hand mashed to a
pulp, and right leg broken at the thigh.
besides being severely bruised in all
other parts of the body.
There were no other fatalities, but
six cars were thrown off the track and
overturned and the rails and steel bridge
very much damaged A large force is
at work clearing up the wreck and get
ting the track and derailed cars in order.
All freight traffic over the bridge was
stopped for the next As hours. The
engineer has been held under ASSOC
bond to await the action OF the grand
jury. He claims that he did not see the
red signal which was displayed, and the
rails seemed to be in proper condition as
seen from the window of his cab.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Shipments over the Delaware
Division of the Pennsylvania.

The reports of the shipments of per-
ishable fruit and vegetables over the
Delaware division of the Pennsylvania
railroad show gratifying increase this
year, according to the statement being
prepared by the freight department. In
a number of instances the grape blight
caused light shipments from vineyards
that in 1903 were heavy shippers
Apples were also shorter in quantities,
on account of the heavy storms which
devastated promising orchards. Peaches
developed shipments eight times as
large as in the preceding year. and the
shipment of pears was nearly five times
that of 1908. The tomato shipments
were about ohe-half. of those of year
ago. The rains had much to do with
the shipments of the crop. which
appeared plentiful in the early part of
the season. Plums increased over one
half over the shipment of 1908, and the
shipment of potatoes the present year
in barrel lots is over one-fifth greater
than one year ago. The total ship
ments as shown by the tabulated re-
turns of the division are as follows:
Berries, in quarts, IL. COS. 993, against
IL, 242. sol for 1908.
Apples. In baskets, l62, liz, against

When the scream of the fire whistle
was heard Monday morning there was
much speculation as to its probable loca-
ton and origin. and while a crowd
went hurrying toward the scene, few
suspected how narrowly fatal tragedy
had been averted in the home of Mayor
William ID. Corddry. In the abse nee
of his father and mother, little Thomas
Corddry. aged seven years /had arrayed
himself in fancy costume that one of
the older boys had worn at Washing
toms birthday PARADE The light fiimsy
material enveloped HIM completely. and
his boyish heart swelled with pride as
he paraded around the room with his
long skirts trailing behind him in grace
full sweeps and curves. His play room
was on the second floor, and a ruddy
fire was burning in the open CRATE of
the fire place. In a luckless moment
the little fellow passed too near the fire,
and in an instant the infiammable
material of his costume was in blaze.
He rushed from the room screaming.
and had reached the head Of the stair
way, when his aunt, Mrs. Charles II.
Parsons. came in at the front door.
Realizing the situation at a glance, Mrs.
Parsons ran to the boy. and succeeded
in distinguishing the flames at great
danger to herself. Her opportune arrival
probably saved the life of the little boy.
who escaped with only slight burns.
His screams attracted the attention of
Bailiff William T. White, who gave
the alarm of fire, and who extinguished
the flames that had started in the room,
before the Fire Department could reach
the scene.

In the same mail came a lettar
from H. d. French, cashier of the
Bank of Martinsburg, of which he
is agent.
Mr.. French is inclined to the
opinion that Stowe has gone off
on one Of his eccentric jaunts.
Proprietor Jordan aud the New

Stowe and if any clew can be Civ

A Grave Issue.

Our congratulations to the st.
Louis Republic. 1t published one
of the strongest and bravest edito-
rails this week we ever saw in that
paper.
The Republic says that a new
issue has been created by the out
RACES committed at the Democrat
ic primary in st. Louis last Satur-
day. Just there we differ with it
a little-the Doodle issue VS.. hon
esty issue has been emphasized,
that is all.
The Republic says: 1.-THE story
of the day is a tale of outrage and
infamy-outrage completely thwart-
ing private right and personal lib
erty; infamy loading the police au-
thorities with disgrace"
MIR. Halves and the leaders who
are associated with him, as we'll as
the Board of Police Commissioners
and the Chief of Police, must meet
the full load of responsibility the
riotous scenes of Saturday impose
upon them. 1t will not avail to
deny the rioting and outrage. 1t
was witnessed by too many people
and is denounced by too many
Democrats with lifelong records OF
party loyalty"
The Republic then concludes
with these strong words: "In the
new and dominant issue thus
forced to the front the people OF
Missouri, the people of the whole
State, are no less concerned than
are the people of st. Louis itself
With personal liberty at an end
and free suffrage lost in st, Louis,
the State is in the gravest danger
The riot of misrule and disorder
here carries Ill delegates into eacf
State Convention to misrepresent
st. Louis and mislead the State
Democracy. 1t remains to be seen
whether the Democracy of Nilsson
ri is willing to confirm this dOmi
nation of rowdles and ruftians."
Bravo for the Republic. 1t il
the great Democratic organ Of tn
State and of the Mississippi Val
| ley. What is has said and tn
fight it is waging is certain t
make for an awakening and for tn
accomplishment of good,
