TWO KILLED
AT SELINSGROVE

y most distressing accident occurred
near Selinsgrove, Sunday evening
about O'Clock when Miss Mary Corn
wall, of Sunbury, formerly of Dan.
Vile, and Murray Heider, of Selins-
grove, were struck by an engine while
walking across the Pennsylvania rail
road bridge at Selinsgrove and instant
ly killed.
Miss Cornwall had been spending
Sunday with Miss Bertha Jarret at
Selinsgrove, and was to return TO Sun
bury Sunday night
As no passenger trains are run by
the way of Selinsgrove on Sundays it
was necessary to walk across the rail
road bridge in order to catch the train
for Sunbury at Selinsgrove Junction.
Accordingly Miss Cornwall and Miss
Jarret accompanied by Murray Heider
and Cleveland Kratzer. of Selinsgrove,
started to walk to Selinsgrove June
tion.
When the party arrived at the last
span of the bridge they heard a train
coming in the rear of them and Miss
Jarret and Mr. Kratzer stepped from
the bridge to the pier,a place of safety
Miss Cornwall and Heider believing
that they could reach the other side
before the train arrived continued on
and had just about reached the mid
die Of the span when an engine. car
and caboose came bearing down upon
them running at the rate of fifte en-
miles an hour.
1t is the general belief that the en-
gine came in such swift and sudden
manner that both were terror stricken
and before they could make an effort
to save themselves were struck and
killed.
Several minutes after the train pass
ed when Harry LOntz, the operator at
Selinsgrove Junction, formerly Of Sun
bury, was walking to Selinsgroye he
discovered the bodies on the bridge,
both horribly mutilated. The boy had
both legs almost completely severed
from the body and his head was so
badly crushed that the features We're
Miss Cornwall was
also terribly injured, both legs and one
arm broken and partly severed from
the body and crushed about the chest
The lower part of her face was also
badly bruised but she could easily be
identified. The body of young Heider
was taken TO his home at Selinsgroye,
while the remains of Miss Cornwall
were placed on the passenger train and
taken to Sunbury and thence To the un-
dertaking parlors of Ives and Hartman
to be prepared for burial.
Mary Cornwall was aged % years, ,
months and - days, and was the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs W. J. Corn
wall, both now deceased. She is sur
vived by one brother and two sisters,
Mrs Charles NJ Stack, of Parkton,
Maryland, and Mrs Isaac Lesser and
Bert Cornwell, both of Sunbury.
Miss Cornwall formerly lived in this
city, being employed until last June
in the laundry at the Hospital. Prior
to being at the Hospital she was EN-
ployed at the City Hotel.
The deceased was a member of the
East End Mission while in this city.
Murray Heider, had he lived until
next week would have been 10 years of
age. His father is dead and his step
father, Howard II. Klinger, is we'll
known resident of Selinsgrove.

In some townships wrong impress

supervisors must be elected in Feb
