when the train rushed through
Fairmount Park and neared
North Philadelphia, the fireman
climbed over the big boiler into
the enginevr's cab to find Toms
dead, with his han on the throt-
tie. His head was hanging out Of
the cab window, and had been
crushed by striking some object t
along the road. Michner support
ed the dead engineer on his arm

at North Philadelphia, where a
new engineer was secured and

Judge Killed By Inferual
Machine.
Opens Package Sent Him by
Mail---Explosion Follows
With Fatal Results.

Paterson, N. j., Feb. 9.-As a
result, probably, of his activity
in aiding the police to capture
Italian lawbreakers recently, JUS
tice of the Peace Robert Corese
was killed last night by the ex.
plosion of an Internal machine
in his Office. His Office was
wrecked and the force of the ex.
plosion was such that it. was
heard for many blocks.
The package was received by
express and was handed to Mr..
Corese at his desk when he re-
moved the outside wrapper of pa.
per, made fast with strap. The
Judge rested the package on the
desk and pulled the end of the
strap toward him, so as to loosen
the tongue of the buckle. The
moment he did so there was an
explosion.
A hole six feet square was torn
in the floor, and the desk was
driven down into the cellar, and
torn to pieces. Judge Corese
had both arms and both legs
broken, his face and body torn
and lacerated, and his back appa-
rently broken. He was removed
to ST. Helena hospital, where his
ante-mortem statement wa s
made.
