UNT|MELY DEATH OF EDITOR $
 BROTHER

The editor of the Times is in re- ceipt of the sad news of the horrible death of his brother, Stewart Steel, at Shamokin, Pennsylvania, on August 2. AS he was crossing the railroad tracks which run through the heart of the city he was struck by a passenger engine and fatally injured. Both legs were cut off and six hours later he slept peacefully away.
 It is alleged that the Philadelphia & Reading railroad company is criminal ly responsible for the fatality, as there was no headlight on the engine nor watchman at the crossing.
 Deceased was AS years of age, a son of the late Col. J. Irwin and Mary Gwin Steel, and is survived by four brothers: Charles E., president and cashier of the Minersville, Pa., Nation al Bank; Will A., Seattle and Cordo- va; J. Irwin, editor and proprietor of the Shamokin, Pa., Daily Herald, and Harry G., editor of Cordova Daily Times. His remains were buried in the family plot at Asland.
 Like his father and brothers, Stewart was printer and newspaper man and enjoyed the reputation of being capable and efficient in his line of business. Up to the time of his death he was a member of the staff of the Shamokin Daily Herald and re- sided in that city for more than twen- ty years, excepting for three years that he served in the -Ameri- can war, being one of the first to an swer the call for recruits.
