HARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH-
By the bursting of the fly wheel
of the engine at the Dillon Green
house Manufacturing Company's
plant Monday morning, William
Yount, an employee of the plant,
was struck by the flying iron, and
sustained a fracture of the skull, a
deep cut on his chin, a broken
finger, a sprained foot and ankle,
and several painful body bruises.
The accident occurred so suddenly
and unexpectedly, that its cause
could not be given. The engine
had not been running properly for
some time, and on Monday, John
Kelley, a machinist, from the liar
man & Hasscrt shops, was secured
to examine it. When he arrived at
the plant, the engine was not run
ning and he told Mr. Yount to
start it up. He saw at once that
there was something wrong and
ordered the steam shut off. Scarcely
had Mr. Yount complied, when
there was a sound similar to an ex
plosion, the wheel bursted, and the
fragments of iron flew in every
direction. One piece tore its way
through the roof, another punctured
a large oil tank, causing the oil to
run all over the floor, and another
piece, weighing probably 20 pounds,
buried itself in the wainscoting.
There was nothing left of the
wheel.
Mr. Yount, was picked up un
conscious and bleeding, and taken
to Dr. Bierman's office, where his
injuries were dressed. He was
later removed to bis home on Cath
arine Street.
While the injuries are of a serious
nature Dr. Bierman says he does
not consider them fatal. The nar
rowness of Mr. Yount's escape from
certain death, is shown the Doctor
says by the fact, that had the piece
of iron, which measured mor than
an inch, and which imbecRled itself
in his head, struck his skull sqifare
ly he would have been killed in
stantly.
Mr. Yount was a trusted em
ployee of the Company, honest and
industrious, and it is needless to
say, has the sympathy of all in his
misfortune.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT BERWICK
Angclo Fiouoni Took Hold of Live Wira And
Was Electrocuted
Anglo Fiouoni, an Italian laborer
employed at the wheel foundry at
Berwick took hold of a live electric
light wire and was immediately kill
ed Monday afteruouii.
Tiouoni with two other Italians
were unloading a car of lumber
directly under an electric light wire.
The lumber consisted of longer
sticks and one of these was raised
and over turned end for end out of
the car. The men did not see the
wires hanging above them so when
they let go the stick struck the wire
and knocked it down along sid of
the car at the same time tearing off
the insulation, The foreigner not
realizing the danger connected with
electric light w ires took hold of it to
throw it out of the way. As it
happened the place where he seized
the wire was just where it was bare.
The wire was used lor feeding a
large arc light and was charged
with 1 too volts. He was also
standing in an iron bottom car
which added to the shock.
One of the fellow workmen grab
bed the man and pulled him from
the wire and in so doing received a
severe shock himself. He stated
that while he was trying to free the
man from the wire bis body quiver
ed and jerked from head to foot.
His fingers were partly burned off
and death was instantaneous.
Trouoni was 30 years of age and
boarded in West Berwick. He is
unmarried.
Twins That Are Mere Mite
Perhaps the most remarkable pair
of twins ever born in Columbia
county first saw the light of day in
the village of Espy last week, says
the Berwick Enterprise.
The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Prank
Swagart, reside on Second street in
that place. The babies are boys
and are the smallest bits of humanity
ever born in the county.
The largest of the two weighs
four pounds exactly and bis head
could be easily placed in a tea cup.
The smallest of the babies weighs
just two pounds and it is almost im
possible to imagine the appearance
of a baby of this size. Its head is
about the size of an ordinary apple,
its fingers about like match sticks
and its eyes like small beads.
The babies are both apparently
healthy and are apt to live to be
men. The parents, besides these
have four other children who are
not by any means undersized.
The Swagart home is thronged
with visitors anxious to see these
wonderful babies and the parents
are proud of the mites. The mother
says that for the first three days of
their existence the smallest child
was unable to take nourishment in
the usual manner but it was ket.t
alive with a stimulant and it now
eats, sleeps -and moves like any
other child of its age.
