Tlie Uarrisburg Patriot of last Friday morning contained the follow ing. The warning applies to all lo calities where the dangerous habit is practiced of jumping on the cars while in motion: Yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock James Dougherty aged about fourteen years, with several companions at tempted to board some moving freight cars near the Pennsylvania railroad crossing at Second street. Dougherty lost his footing and fell witli his legs under the cars and both the limbs were badly crushed by the passing wheels. He was taken to the hos pital and hitter in the day one of his legs was amputated by the hospital surgeon between the knee and hip. The other leg will have to be amputat ed between the knee and ankle, but up to u lute hour last night, lie was to weak to undergo t lie operation, al though he begged to have it performed. Rut little hopes ure entertained of bis recovery. He resided with his parents corner of Second street ami Meadow Lane. This is another terrible warn ing to boys. Some steps ought to be taken to 'prevent litis dangerous prac piee of jumping on moving trains. If every offender caught was arrested and committed to the lockup, it might have a good effect.
