Had An Arm Torn Off.

Thomas w. Raine, only son of Ammon
Raine, met with a serious accident at the
Powder Works on Carney Point, at 3
O'Clock on Tuesday morning, by getting
his left arm in a mixer and it had to be
torn off to save him from being draw thru
the machine.

was taken sick at midnight and Mr.. Raine
with Norwood Murphy was put to manage
the mixer. 1t is supposed that in taking
the powder out of the hopper that his
grove got caught. The machine being
rapidly operated with great power his
hand and arm were pulled in between
the revolving rollers in an instant and
were mashed to a pulp. Raine's cry
brought Murphy's assistance and he had
to be pulled out with great force.
Raine's arm was pulled out of the
shoulder socket and the tendons at his side
were badly lacerated. The machine
twisted the tendons of his arm and thus
hindered him from bleeding to death be-
fore medical assistance arrived.
DIR. Lummis was summoned, dressed
the wound and went with MI. Rain
across the river in duPonts' launch. On
arrival in Wilmington he was taken in all
ambulance to Delaware Hospital where
the arm was taken off at the shoulder
socket.
Mr.. Raine's strong, healthy con.
| stitution is most favorable for his re.
covery from such a great shock and injury,
He is doing as we'll as can be expected
according to latest reports.
