AN OLD MAN'S MISFORTUNES.
Injured Twice in ns .Many Dins nnd
Then I'nciiinoiiin Set In.
II. V. Jones, nged 72 years, died early
yesterday morning at the Lackawanna
hospital, where he has been a patient
for the past two weeks. The last few
days of Jones' long life were anything
but a path of roses. On or about April
1 he fell and fractured his arm. Dr. S.
P. Longstreet set the break. Two days
afterward as Jones was walking down
Spiuce street he slipped on an orange
peel and again fell to the sidewalk.
Ho sustained a severe cut on the back
of his head and was found senseless by
Lieutenant Davis.
After he had recovered the old man
was taken to the Lackawanna hospital.
The cut on the head was not of much
consequence, but the advanced age of
Jones and the further weakening of his
body caused by the broken arm and
bruise were too much and pneumonia
was developed.
From this disease ho died yesterday
and his emaciated body was taken to
the undertaking establishment of Will
iam Price on the West Side, where
friends assumed charge of them.
Jones had no home and his character
was eccentric.
MISS MARGARET MORRILL INJURED.
Sho Wns Riding a ilicyclo When tho
Accident Occurred.
Miss Margaret Morrill, of 412 Kress
ler court, employed In Kerr & Co.'a
carpet store on Lackawanna avenue,
was severely Injured yesterday even
ing about (1.30 o'clock. The young lady
had left the store and mounted her
bicycle preparatory to going home,
and as sho crossed Lackawanna ave
nue and turned Into Wyoming avenuo
a horse owned nnd driven by Georgs
Hess was turning frcm Wyoming onto
Lackawanna,
Seeing the approach of the bicyclist
Mr. Hess reined In his horsfl but the
young lady grew excited, lost control
of her wheel and ran directly against
the horse. Mr. Hess endeavored to
keep the animal from trampling upon
tho prostrate form and In so doing
one of the thlh? of the light Concord
buggy to which the home was attach
ed, was broken,
MUs Moirlll was picked up and car
ried back to the store where Dr. Pen
nypacker nnd Dr. Longstreet were
called to attend her. She was found
to be suffering from the shook and a
jagged scalp wound just behind the
right oar. A carriage was called and
tho sufferer was tnk'in home.
TWO CHILDREN
ARE POISONED
Concluded from Pago 1.
boys visiting nt the house were taken
suddenly 111 and were found to have
eaten something poisonous, tho fright
theory In tho Hadscll case dissolved
and In Its place came the theory that
the tierce looking visitors who peered
through the window had scattered
poison about the premises.
These two boys were Johnnie Bedell
nnd Willie Davis, both under eleven
years of age. The Bedell boy died af
ter a few days of excruciating pain,
but tho other lad recovered. Before
expiring tho Bedell boy told that they
had eaten a piece of orange rind which
they found In the Hndsall yard, but
tho Davis boy would not hdmlt this.
It Is probable, however, that the suffer
ings he went through ernsed this from
his memory as tho post-mortem on tho
Bedell boy In a great measure corro
boratcd the explanation ho had made.
The case of jhe two boys who were
poisoned near the Oral school Is ex
actly similar to this latest case. They
found a box of rough-on-rats In a pile
of rubbish on tho old Dunmore road
Just the other side of the school. They
thought it was candy nnd ate of It In
large quantities. Both died and as In
dicated above tho coroner was on the
point of tracing tho source of the
poison and beginning prosecutlqn when
he was dissuaded.
