On Tuesday afternoon, at about three o'clock, at Maitland’s Boiler Works, near the Penna. railroad depot, the life of young Lorry Heisler was terminated by a beiler rolling over him and crush ing his skull. The particulars of the accident are as follows: Mr. Maitland and his workmen were engaged in loading a large boiler on a freight car, in front of the build- ing. A track or skid was bu ilt from the ground to the top of the car, up which the boiler was to be rolled and into the car. A large rope was attached to the boiler and led over the top of the car to a telephone pole where by the use of pulleys and tackle the men gradually pulled the boiler up this inclined plane, As they drew it up young Lorry Hels. ler, who is employed in the shops, was stationed behind to block it up and keep it from rolling back. When they had it almost to the top of thecar the ropes broke and the huge mass of iron, weigh ing over five tons, rolled back and caught the unfortunate boy, who was standing on the middle log of the skid. way. He was knocked over and his head struck on the end skid log and the boiler passed over it. When the rope broke Mr. Maitland called for him to run, but the warning was given too late. They rushed around to the other end of the car and saw the lifeless body of the boy lying on the ground under the skid-way with half of his skull taken off. Portions of the scalp bones and brains were scattered around over the timbers while his warm blood oozed from the hollowed portion of his skull. The body was picked up and taken in to the shops and covered over with pa- pers until the undertaker arrived. Lorry Heisler was a Jad of about 14 years and wasa son of Mr. and Mum. Charles Heisler, the marble dealer, of this place. At the time of the accident his father was at State College. The sad intelligence was withheld from Mrs, Heisler until the body could be cared for by the undertaker. This horrible event completely un- strung the nerves of Mr. Maitland who walked to and fro through his shops in bewildered condition, not noticing anyone, thinking, appar ntly only of the young lad’s sad death, The men about the shops took off their aprons and left the scene, Funeral today at 2. p.m. nl Fell From a Telephone Poll Noll, of the change here, met with a teriiable ac- cident last Saturday morning by falling from the top of a telephone > He LAr the railroad crossing on Main street which being rotted. with Lis wedght.
