CONDUCTORS
PAINFUL INJURY

q. n. Childs, conductor on the ID.
l.. d W. switch engine, just before
noon Saturday, met with u very pain
full accident, which for awhile threat
ened to result seriously.
The switcher crew was engaged in
shifting cars short distance above
the station. They Were employing the
usual method of shifting when the
engine is on one track and the car to
be moved is on the other; namely, by
the use of Il pushing stick. ="
Mr.. Childs, Saturday, was holding
the stout pole, or pushing stick" i'll
position, between a socket on the end
of the engine and the side of the
freight car. AS the engine was start
ed and force was applied the stick in
stead of pushing the car ahead broke
in two, one end striking in the abdo-
men, the conductor, who was "hug-
ging" the heavy pole close to his
body.
The breath was completely knocked
out of the man; the effect of the shock
too, was such as to produce "a state of
collapse and Mr.. Childs fell over and
lay apparently lifeless. He was quick
ly placed on board the switcher and
taken down to the station, where DR..
! Paules was summoned.
The doctor applied restoratives and
/
after the man revived somewhat adj
ministered sedative to ease the pain,
which was most eXcruciating. The
doctor failed to discover any internal
injury or any broken bones. 1t was
late in the afternoon before the man
so far recovered as to be able to leave
the station.

TWENTY-FIVE
DEATHS REPORTED

In view of the recent outbreak of
communicable diseases, which has
made it necessary to close the schools
of the second ward, the report of the
local registrar to the bureau of vital
statistics for the month of October pos
sesses an especial interest Fortunate
ly not Il death has as yet resulted from
either diphtheria or scarlet fever and
the low death rate of several months
past still prevails.
In the district twenty-five deaths
occurred during October. OF these
eight were reported from the hospital
for the insane.
Up to November lst eight cases of
diphtheria and five cases of scarlet
fever were reported by physicians for
October. That no deaths due TO the
above disease were reported is probab-
ly not remarkable and is not to be
taken as evidence that the cases of
diphtheria and scarlet fever are neces-
sarily of a mild tpye. Death from
dlphtherla, especially, Is not expected
to occur in these days when antitoxin,
the efficiency of which is universally
accepted, is accessible TO all classes
and is SO generally applied. Statistics
show that antitoXin has reduced deaths
from diphtheria to minimum-to
less than per cent
Only one case of typhoid fever was
reported in October. Two cases of
measles occurred, which shows that
this tenacious disease is still lurking
in town and that vigilance on the part
of the authorities will be required to
keep it from gaining a considerable
foothold and thus interfering with at
tendance at school.

STRUCK MILK WAGON

BY a margin of several inches Charles
Appleman, the Valley township dairy
man who serves milk over route in
Danville, escaped death yesterday when
the wagon he was driving was struck
by Reading pusher ON the crossing
at Mausdale.
Appleman was returning home after
having covered his route shortly after
noon. AS he approached the crossing
he noticed pusher taking water ut
the tank just east of the crossing, but
as the locomotive was headed toward
Danville, he judged it would go in
that direction. Instead the engine
started running backward just i'll time
to strike the wagon as it got upon the
tracks.
The tender hit the wagon few
inches back of the middle entirely de-
molishing the vehicle and cutting the
horses loose. The wagon, smashed like
an egg shell, was thrown to one side,
and few minutes later Mr.. Appleman
crawled from the wrecked top, badly
bruised and cut, but not seriously in
jured. The horses We're caught beyond
Mausdale.
Had the locomotive struck the wagon
few inches further front Mr.. Apple
mans chances of escaping with his
life would have been exceedingly slim.
