Horrible Accident in l. c. Shop
Yards This Forenoon.
Frank silIs, Yard Cleaner, Killed BY
Train While At Work on Track
Today.
MANS CARELEssNESs AT FAULT

Frank Sills, aged so. employed in
the local 1. c. south yards, was struck
by a switch engine this forenoon at
1O:45 O'Clock and instantly killed,
his body being horribly mangled. The
accident is said to have been due to
Sills' carelessness in performing his
work.
The unfortunate man was employ
ed in the capacity of yard cleaner,
his duties being TO pick up coal and
such debris and load It into cars. He
was engaged in picking up coal when
struck. He was working about 200
yards north of the south yard Office
below the coal chute and was stoop-
ing over when strack, The engine
which hit him was switch engine,
No. 172, in charge of Foreman w.
H. Holly, Engineer Check Davidson
and Fireman Phillip Phelps. They
did not see the aged man until they
were right on him. and then 1t was
too late.
The accident was witnessed by one
person, an aged negress who lives
across from the yard Office. She saw
the man stoop down to pick up a
lump of coal, and seeing the oncom-
ing engine noticed that unless he
moved sharply he would be unable to
get into The clear.
The engine the next instant struck
him and the wheel mangled and cut
his body almost beyond recognition
He died without uttering a sound. so
quickly did the big engine do its
work.
The Paducah Undertaking Co. was
notified and took charge of the re-
mains. This afternoon the inquest
will be held. Coroner Eaker having
been busy with other matters when
the accident happened.

GREATEST OF THREE
SAN FRANCISCO DISASTER WILL
SURPASS CHICAGO FIRE.
Exceeded i'm Number of Lives Lost
by Tidal Wave At Gal.
weston.

Chicago, Ill, April Elf the
published reports are confirmed, as
it now seems probable they will be,
the calamity in San Francisco will
exceed in magnitude and horror that
which occurred in Chicago, October
s and 8, 1871. At the time of the
great fire this city had a population
of about 100000, while San Francis
co now has nearly 375,OOO. The loss
of life in Chicago was comparatively
small. The number of dead was. nev-
er definitely ascertained, but It did
not exceed 200. In the California me-
tropolis it is believed that upward of
1000 persons have perished and it is
known that thousands have been in
jured.
In the matter of property destroy
ed, the figures are more equal. The
loss in Chicago amounted to $780,
100000, that in San Francisco is es-
timated at the same figure. Here H.
$50 buildings were burned and 9S,-
600 people made homeless. In San
Francisco the buildings are said to
be 80 600 and the NUMBER of home
less is reported to be 10000.
How much assistance will be re-
quired by the victims of the Pacific
coast disaster may be estimated from
the fact that 1t took nearly $1,000
900 in contributions from the out
side world to tide the people of Chi
cago over the period of distress.
The Galveston calamity surpassed
that in San Francisco in the number
of lives lost, the dead numbering
more than 5000. but the property
loss was only about $4,000, 200.
The Paducah sun., 1906-04-21
Additional Subscriptions TO The
Suns Relief Fund Coming In Today.

The news today from San Francis
co is that there is great suffering
among the people.
The federal government has been
asked for another million dollars,
which expresses more than anything
else could, the dire necessities of the
stricken people.
From every city in the country re-
lief is being sent. Fast trains have
been Given the right Of way over all
the roads, and are rushing to the city
with their loads of supplies.
In every city money is being rails
ed and Immediately dispatched. In
some of the cities, the generosity of
the people but shows. ia the highest
degree, the sympathetic nature of
our people.
This is revealed in the funds being
raised in the big cities and in the
country villages. Each is contributing
its mite.
Let Paducah do its share.
The subscriptions so far received
are nothing like what would be ex-
pected of our people.
The reason is that the people
seemingly don't seem to tealize the
straits of the stricken people, and the
necessity for immediate relief.
No amount of money that will be
raised will be too much for the work
that is to be done. Think of 100000
people in one city alone homeless,
and you may get faint idea of the
suffering that must ensue.
Think of the great industries lay
ing in waste, and the probabilities of
