is made that the electrical decorations
be continued along Delaware avenue

donate a sum TO defray this expense.
In addition TO this the Levy Court
will be asked to pay one-half and the
city the other half Of the expense of
illuminating and decorating Washing

LOSES HIS
LIFE UNDER
MOTOR TRUCK
Unidentified Stranger, in
Search Of Work Here,
Meets Horrible Death
MAY OR MAY NOT
HAVE BEEN ACCIDENT

Whether an unidentified man kill
ed today, accidentally fell or threw
himself under a two-ton automobile
truck at thes entrance to the yards of
the Harlan & Hollingsworth Corpor-
alton, will probably never be
known. The accident occurred so
quickly that even those who were
within few feet of the man when
one of the rear wheels of the truck
passed over his head crushing it, are
unable to give a clear account of the
affair
The man had applied to w. T.
King, of No S24 West Sixth street,
the gate-keeper for work, and was
told there was none. About the time
the stranger was turning away from
the window of the little Office, the
automobile truck, driven by Raymond
Clifton, of No 1908 Walnut street.
employed by the local concern, came
along loaded with merchandise. IL
was going slowly and the driver was
directing its course to the scales to
weigh the car and its contents. The
front of the car had passed the
stranger and it was a rear wheel that
passed over his head crushing il to
a jelly.
Whether the man lurched against
the machine and was thrown under
the wheel, or despondent because of
his inability to obtain employment
deliberately threw himself under the
heavy machine, is not known. He
was Instantly killed and the body
was removed to the morgue
There was nothing in the mans
pockets, except a pawn ticket, that
would serve to identify him. This
pawn ticket was issued by the l.. S

Tenth street, Philadelphia, the name
OF the party to whom it was issued
appearing as Burke A loan of s.
had been made on a watch and chair
on September II last, according tC

ticket was issued by a Philadelphia
loan Office leads the authorities Z
believe that the mans home was II

The automobile which snuffed ou
the strangers life belonged to tn
Commercial Truck Company, of Phil

ed about the local shipyards witt

was meted today by Deputy
Judge Joslyn on Henry Davis, colored,
who was given a hearing yesterday
on the charge of assault with intent
TO commit murder on George Creamer,
also colored. Davis was sentenced
to serve two and a half years in the
workhouse and to pay a fine of 800
and costs of the prosecution.
When the defendant was given
hearing yesterday Deputy Judge
Joslyn contended that punishment in
such cases was left to the discretion
of the court. Owing to Assistant
City Solicitor Lynn being under the
impression that such was not the
case, the case was continued until to-
day.
This morning Deputy Judge Joslyn
said he had ascertained that he had
full power to impose sentence and
lectured Davis, saying. "The court has
learned that in addition TO slashing
George Creamer across the neck you
also cut his coat in several places,
and had it not been for the boy,
Thomas Gray, stopping you. there
might have been a charge of murder
against you now. In addition you
attempted to cut a woman before you
met Creamer. and as you we're re-

day morning for a like offense. the
best place for you is in Jail When
you come out perhaps you will have
/ thought seriously over your case and
