CARDONDALE,
SEVERAL ACCIDENTS.
On Man May Loaa IIU Sight-Vndar
Fall of Coal.
The Delaware and iHudson Wilson
Ovek mines was the scene of two very
dl8tresln accidents yesterday. The
most serious' accident occurred to
George and William T. Dennis, who
were working In a heading together,
and engaged In blasting a breast of
rock. They had drilled a hole In the
rock preparatory to putting In a stick
of gifent powder. The hole proved to
be too small, however, and they tried
to force it In. employing a Jumper and
aledge. At the first blow of the sledge
the powder exploded and the rock was
blown fnto small Wts. The force of
the explosion sent both men backward
With great force. Neither man could
see after -the explosion, their lights
being put out. and they were also par
tially blinded .by the flame. They both
tarted to crawl out rs best they could.
George reached the next chamber.where
he informed the men working there.
When they reached the scene William
oould not be found, but on reaching the
mouth of the mine he was there, having
met some men who helped out.
The company's ambulance was sum
moned and the unfortunate men
brought to this city. George, -who was
the lets seriously hurt, was taken to his
home, and William to the hospital. At
the hospital Dr. F. E. Jenkins attended
to William. Mis injuries were very
serious. The jumper hit him In the el
tiow at the explosion and badly
mashed It. It Is feared that the
arm may have to come off. Everything
possible, however, to save the arm is
bring- done. At his hcie. In Battle's
alley. Dr. A. iF. KVillis dressed the
wounds of Ueorge. His face was alxo
badly mangled by the pieces of rook.
His eyes are not hurt, while William
may lose Ms sight.
William Walsh Injured.
In the afternoon another accident oc
eured in the same mine, William Walsh,
a roLner, fired a blast in his chamber
and soon afterward returned. He had
hardly entered than a huge mass of
coal fell from the roof upon him. The
coal had been loosened by the blast,
and without any warning fell, crushing
Mr. Walsh to the ground.
The mass of coal which had fallen was
very great, and It was with much ditll
oulty that the unfortunate man was
loosened by his companions. He was
badly hurt about the hip. and, after
bolivg carried to the surface, was taken
to his home ami a physician sum
moned. Dr. Glllts rescinded and made
him as comfortable as possible. It Is
feared that he may be hurt internally.
Agent at the llospitul.
One of the cases at the hospital is that
of a clothes wringer agent, who 'had
the misfortune to break his leg the oth
er night. The agent was on Fallbrook
street, where, with a companion, he
was delivering wringers. In turning
around the wagon ran up a steep bank
and was overturned. As it went over
the man's right leg was caught Just
above the ankle and both the bones
broken.

however, did no good, and H was seen
that she could not live much longer.
Throughout her sickness the deceased

A PRETTY WEDDING.
Two Popular Young People Married at
the Methodist Parsonage.
At the Methodist church parsonage at
8 o'clock Tuesday evening a ceremony
was performed which united two well
known young people of Belmont In holy
matrimony. The contracting parties
were Miss Ella iDllts, daughter of Mr.
and .Mrs. A. E. Dllts, of 80 Belmont
f treet, and Frank Price, who is em
ployed at the Delaware and Hudson
coal pockets. The bride has many
friends, who wish her all possible hap
piness, and the groom is a young man
who Is equally popular. The bride wore
a dress made of bottle green material
and look, as all brides do, charming.
The couple were attended by Miss Jen
nie SIteby and Ellsha Dllts. a brother
of the bride. The bridesmaid wore a
dress of material similar to that worn
by the bride.
After (the ceremony a reception was
held at the 'home of the bride's parents,
to which about fifty relatives and In
timate friends had been Invited. The
crowning feature of the evening after
cupper, which was merrymaking, con
tinued 1o a late hour, when the com

STRAY BOVINES.
Enter the Premises of P. F. Carroll and Do
Mack Damage.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said In regard to the number of cattle
which roam at large about our princi
pal streets, owners of the animals take
no pains to keep them shut up, and the
damage done by them la considerable.
One of the latest victims to this lack
of care Is P. F. Carroll, of 8cott street.
When Mr. Carroll ai-ose yesterday
morning he found several stray cows on
his premises, who seemed to be enjoying
themselves on his young fruit trees.
Mr. Carroll was very angry at the oc
currence and at once set out for the
pound and soon had a cow and heifer
within its portals. He wanted IMr.
Wills to collect damages to the amount
of $10 from the owners when they came
to release their property. This is some
thing that Mr. Wills has no power to
do and he told Mr. Carroll, Raying if he
wanted damages he would have to
bring suit against the owners. There
was some talk In regard to the rlRht of
'Mr. Carroll to Impound the animals, as
they were not in the limits defined by
the ordinance. He would have been
right had the cows been taken from the
public streets, but as they were caught
on his property he was Justified in tak
ing them. The limits set down by Uhe
ordinance are: The city limits on the
north and east, 'Klitht avenue on the
south and the Delaware and Hudson on
the west . , . a
CLEANING THE POND.
The City's Water Is to tie kept Pure at All
Costs.
The Crystal Lake Water company are
making determined efforts to have the
water supplied to this city as pure a.i
possible. The water supply, though
still adequate for all use, has become
lower than usual during the drought.
To keep the bottom free from any sub
stance which might contaminate the
water by its collecting corrupt matter
about it, the water company have had
a force of men at work dredging the
pond.
The rapid increase of typhoid fever
in this city during the last few days Is
laid to the lowness of the water In No.
4 reservoir by several of the local phy
sicians. We have been unusually free
from typhoid fever and Its Increase Is
looked at with much dread by the In
habitants. The lowness of the water
might cause it to ptagnate and hence
polluted. Everything possible to keep
the water good will be done by the
company.
