ARM CRUSHED
BY |. Y. CAR
Frank J. R. Cline Has lnjur-
cd Member Amputated.

The right arm of Frank j.. h.
Cline, brakeman at the Lehlgh val
ley terminal here, was amputated
yesterday afternoon at the city hos
pital by DR.. George w. Tyrrell, fol-
lowing the crushing OF that member
to a pulp, when two wheels of load
ed. flat lumber car passed over the
arm above the elbow. The accident
occurred yesterday afternoon about
2:30 o'clock.
Cline. who is twenty-seyen years
old, was working on shifting train
of three lumber cars that were belng
backed on the Pennsylvania transfer
spur near the tower house where the
Pennsylvania tracks cross those OF
the Lehigh Valley. The engine was
pushing the cars slowly, and Cline
was on the third car from the loco
motive adjusting the brakes. The car
had lust started back on the spur
when the brakes became frightened,
and the trainman gave another pull
to close them more securely. 1t
seems that he gave the brake wheel
a hard wlst, which being tight, re-
fused to respond to his action. His
hold on the wheel slipped and Cline
lost his balance on the narrow ledge
of the car. He fell over 10 the
ground, landing to the left side OF
the moving conveyor.
In falling his body landed clear OF
the tracks, except his right arm,
which struck across the outside rail
directly In front of the cars wheels,
The two wheels of the first truck
passed over the member, crushing 1t
to a pulp. Engineer Wood saw the
PROSTATE form and stopped the loco
motive before the second truck of the
car reached the victim.
Cline was picked up by Conductor
Deverin and Trainman George Muir
ray and carried from the tracks and
DR.. Tyrrell was Immediately sum
moned. The physician had the man
taken to the city hospital, where the
operation was performed. Cline is
suffering extreme pain from the
wound today. He is married and
lived with his family at 2S1 Wash
ington street.

quested to take steps and have the
city surveyor prepare plans and pho
tographs of the street ends and pre-
sent copies of same to the Board of
Harbor Commissioners, the State
Board of Riparian Commissioners
and the War Department. In that
way the city will endeavor to show
the government and state authorities
to just what extent the street ends
are blocked and sewers are stopped
up as a consequence.
In connection with this work, the
council provided that the city sur
veyor prepare plans and do such sur
veying work as the harbor commits
sioners may in the future direct. A
resolution was adopted, adding such
work to his municipal duties.
Resolutions adopted by residents
of the southern part of the city in
complaint of the alleged nuisances
in that section, as prepared at re-
cent meeting of the residents, were
received by the council last night and
referred to a committee of the whole.
Chairman Henry w. Sandbeck, Jr.,
said a copy had been sent to Presi-
dent Richard A. Bolger, Of the Board
