A shocking- accident, by which one
- of our young men lost his life, occur
red yesterday morning in the Dels

was employed 'upon Conductor Lews
- ley's train, which was being put away
In the yard. -The young man -was on
a number of cars which were being
dropped Into a switch by him. Just
how the accident occurred will never be
known as no one witnessed It It
v. thought, though, that while climbing
, from a box car to uncouple the cars, he
lest his footing and feel beneath the
Wheels.
The cry he uttered as he fell was
heard by his companions, who came
to see the cause. They were shocked to

ails, and evidently seriousiy hurt. Both
legs were severed from the body, only
banging by shreds of skin. He al
was badly bruised and his face cut
in a terrible manner.
His fellow workmen placed him upon
Stretcher and carried him to the
Union station, where the ambulance
was summoned. He was then taken to
his home on Dundaff street. Drs. Bailey
and Jenkins were summoned, and they
Old everything in their power to relieve
the sufferings of the young man. The
doctors finally decided that It would
be best to take him to the hospital.
There was very little hope for his re
eovery and this was done as a last re
source. It was very evident, however,
that he could not live long, as he was
very , weak. -All efforts to revive' him'
were without avail, and at ,10.30 he died

The youhff man's mother resides in
Archbald, and 'was notified of the ao
client early in the morning. She came
to this city at once and went to the
hospital, where she was in time to see
her son- before he passed away.
' Mr. Ball's death will be a great blow
to his many friends, for although hav

hannened at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
. James Maxwell, on Salem avenue, where
Mrs. Palmer was going to maKe a can.
At the home of Mr. Maxwell, the front
and back stairs are opposite eac other,
so that a person walking up the front
tain and walking straight ahead
would descend the baok stairs. Mrs.
Palmer, however, had been at tne house
. before and was familiar witn the stairs
and how she made such a mlBtake Is a
mystery. The passageway was quite
dark and she probably took the door for
the one opening Into the sitting room,
nd stepped down the stairway.
Mrs, Maxwell heard the noise, and
running to see the cause of It, found the
old lady tying at the bottom of the
Stairs. She was bleeding from a bad
cut oa the left side of the lace and com-
. plained of pains In her chest and shoul
ders. The doctor could not find any
broken bones, but the whole body Is
covered with bruises. Site was removed
to the hospital, as she lives alone. Yes
terday she was much Improved, thoug.
She can hardly move.
Mrs. Palmer Is seventy-five years of
ge and It Is surprising how she stood
the shock. The stairway is eighteen

tives. The undertaker, who was very
much frightened, ran from the house,
procured a physician and with consid
erable effort the woman was restored
to consciousness, and yesterday after
noon she wa3 able to sit up and con
verse with her many callers. The
physician says It was a case of sus

Telegrams That No Man Sent-Weird Ex-
nerienco of a Train ui pnionsr.
A knot of dispatchers were discuss
ing their experiences In the corridor of
the West Hotel, at Minneapolis, re
cently, when a Tribune reporter joined
the group. James F. Jj-oroes, cniei m
patcher of a division of the Chicago
Rnrllnirton and Northern road,, was
telling a story which had something
of the uncanny aDout it. wnen ne nau
finished the dispatchers shrugged up
their shoulders and osked each other
suggestively, "Do you believe In the
psychic forces?" or "Do you believe
in telepathy?" No one answered but
an elderly dispatcher who sat near,
who said he believed In theosophy.
The story told by Forbes was as fol
lows: "About fifteen years ago," said
Mr. Forbes, "I was employed at a
small way station called Lucan, on the
Grand Trunk railroad. In Canada. It
was not very far from the American
border, at which was the town -of St.
Mary's. To the east of Lucan was an
other station called Stratford, then
headquarters of the train dispatcher,
and quite a town. I was night opera
tor and dispatcher at Lucan. I -suppose
all stories of this kind open up on
the customary dark and stormy night,
to make the narrative good; but this
is a true experience, and the night was
really dark and stormy. . There was
no lightning. It only rained, and the
wind howled around the little station
in a dlamal way, , making grewsome
company at least. As I sat there near
the Instrument, Idle for a moment,. I
heard the clicking of the keys. It was
the train dispatcher at Stratford call
ing up the operator at St. Mary's, and
I mechanically listened to the message.
It was the usual form: 'Hold No. 1
and No. 2 for orders.' The operator
at St. Mary's repeated ' the .message
correctly and signed his name on the
key.
Again Hoard the Clicking. .
"In about thirty minutes I. again
heard the clicking of the dispatcher's
key, and listened. By this time the
sound of the wind soughing among
the trees had become terribly mourn
ful. Bo. the clicking of .the key was
company and music at the same time,
and this Is probably the reason I paid
such close attention to It. I distinctly
heard the message, and to my dying
day I will be prepared to take oath to
it: 'St. Mary's. No. 2 and No. 20 may
proceed. Signed, Gelbart and Fair.' .
I knew Qalbart was the dispatcher at
that place and that Farr was head
switch tender, and, , according to the
rules of the road, both men wr m.
Jiutred to countersign a train order be
ore it became effective. So I thought
nothing mora of it until Z baard Um .i
dor properly repeated and discharged.
Then suddenly the keys clicked again,
and St. Mary's said the wnsssgo was
received, but not understood, as no ref
erent had been mad to trains No. S
and No. 20 before. Then the dispatchers
at both stations called me up and asksd
what I had heard and I answered back
over the wire the exact message as It
had clicked Itself through my office.
There was more clicking and talking,
and then came from both St Mary's and
Stratford: 'We can find no such record
in any of the dispatcher's files. It Is not
In the chief dispatcher's records," ,
Could Not Make It Out.
"I was completely astounded." con
tinued Mr. Forbes, "and I oould not
make It out I was positive I had heard
the message go through. Then the dis
patchers along the line began to Joke
and wired such messages as 'ghosts,'
'spooks.' They were not as strict as
they are now.
"The whole thing made me nervous,
for a train dispatcher doesn't like such
Jokes whUe In the discharge of respon
sible work. Well, we . never got track
of that message. v ...
"That night No. 2 cleared on time and
went bowling up the track. And here
Is where the really uncanny part of the
tory epmw In. At the little station
caned Saint Paul, on the Canadian side,
train No. 20 was side-tracked, and stood
with steam hissing as No. 2 rushed past
It was an unusual thlnr. for No. 20
never stopped there and always waited
at another station. So a horrible ca
lamity was averted by a mysterious
ghostly message. If No. 20 had not
learned by the Inquiries over the wire
that something was the matter with
the train orders it would have rushed
past the station and met in horrible col
lision with No. 2.
"I,d2nlt. Prrtend to explain it," re
marked Mr. Forbes, closing the narra
tive, and It probably never will be ex
plained." SELLING AMINE.
