8 THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. THURSDAY, JULY aj. 1903. KILLED AT BERWICK. Thomas Adenger Struck on the Head by Crane Dies in a Few Minutes. Loss of Blood Caused Death. Thomas Adenger, an employee of the American Car & Foundry Com pany at Berwick met an almost in atant death on Tuesday. He was employed as a shipper in the black smith department of the works, and at about two o'clock in the after noon had occasion to pass a large push crane. The machine is used to raise and move the heavy goods in the shops, and was in operation at the time. He was directly under it when without any warning it fell striking him on the breast, and crashing him to the ground. He was quickly carried into the office, and a doctor summoned. An ex amination revealed the fact that an artery had been severed. The doctor was entirely unable to stop the flow of blood, and it was only a few minutes until death followed. Thomas Adenger 'was a resident of Northumberland, and had only been employed at Berwick a short time. He was thirty eight years oi age and is survived by a wife and three children. The accident is one of particular sadness. Away from home and having to close his eyes in death, unable to say a last goodbye to his loved ones. FAST EIDJNO THIS. Ttio. F, Forest's Automobile Breaks Record From Phila. to Atlantic City. There is a new record for auto mobiling between Philadelphia and Atlantic City. It was established on Monday by Thos. F. Forrest's machine. Mr. Forrest has had the machine in Blootnsburg for more than a month, in fact it only last Thursday left here. When Chauf feur Walcott departed from Blooms . burg there were with him Sam H. Harman, John M. Clark and Geo. Low, but it appears that he and Low were the only ones in the ma chine when the run was made, as can be seen from the following tele gram which appeared in Tuesday's North American. Atlantic City, July 20. All records for the fastest automobile between Philadelphia and this city were broken today, when Geo. L. Low, and H. D.. Wolcotte, of Bloomsburg, Pa., . made the trip in Mr. Low's powerful machine in two hours and ten minutes. This time is considered remarka ble, in view of the fact that the roads near this city are m bad con dition and some time was lost by a number of small accidents having taken place. Charles M. Schwab held the record for this run. Death of Mrs. Eli Jones- The long illness of Mrs. Eli Jones ended in death at her home on Third street Saturday morning.

It Was a Oase of Wade or Walk- "Hold on there" cried a fellow from the opposite side of the canal channel as the last car from Cata wissa stopped at the Rupert club house, Sunday night, rie was in quite a predicament. Only two hours before he had left the car at that point to escort his fondest hopes up to her home between the hills. Now the darkness was so intense he couldn't find his way. He had waited fifteen minutes, thinking that the light from the car would help him out of his dilemma. The car came but the illumination was fitful and ineffec tual and still he couldn't see where he was going. He finally by brav ing the mud which was nearly an kle deep, succeeded in reaching the edge of the water, where he found to his additional discomfort, that the foot board, over which he and his girl had crossed only a short time before, was gone. The water, under the influence of a drenching precipitation, which had just abated had risen and carried it away. "Hurry on," shouted conductor Wanicb, "we can't wait here all night". There was nothing left for him to do but wade, and into the water he jumped with a veng ence. He reached the car all right but maybe he wasn't a sorry looking sight. As be pulled himself up in to the car he said, "I've often heard fellows say that they'd wade through blood up to their knees for a girl, but water is the limit tor me" and everybody laughed. Had anybody not acquainted with the circumstances been passing at the time and heard the water splashing they would very likely have concluded that the sea lion had changed its course and gotten over into the canal.

The party aggrieved is Jacob Kreamer, who c1aims damages from the township to the amount of $700 for injuries sus tained by two of his horses. The animals were injured at different times, one as the result of an al leged defective creek bridge and the other by reason of a chuck hole in the road. The one horse he claims has been rendered practically worthless and the other is of but very little service to him. A propo sition to settle the case was made by him he says, but the township rejected it. Now he wants his money, and to secure it he has em ployed counsel in the person of William C. Johnston and Geo. M. Tustin, and the suit has been en tered.

The Skeletons Found-Twenty-six years ago when the Cen tralia colliery was operated by Bryson & Gorrell, the firm maintained two fine double teams for the use of the colliery officials, one gray, the other black. One morning the hostler came to look at the horses and opening the door of the box stall where the gray team was kept he looked into a yawn ing beeach. During the night a gang way in the mammoth vein, directly under the stable, callapsed aud the grays were drawn down into the cavity. Rescue was impossible, even if the animals had not been killed. The stable was moved and the incident closed. On Saturday a new opening reached the face of the old gangway, which had been closed for so many years. There the miners found the skeleton remains of the horses which had perished almost a generation ago. The bones were in a fair state of preservation and the moulding re mains of the feed box from the stall found near the skeletons. The find excited a good deal of comment among the older residents of Centralia, many of the old miners having been on Bryson & Gorrell's pay roll when the cave-in occurred. Hot Days and Contagion. The hot summer davs will be pro ductive of some forms of contagious diseases if care" is not taken in the disposal of garbage and the preserva tion of sanitary conditions about the yards and in the houses.

When a disease case comes that re quires the enforcement of the quaran tine, the utmost care should be taken n the methods of fumigation.
