The ttaek to the bie.ikei ciossps the
net wink of Hacks leading Into the
Exeter shaft, and then passes around
the shaft and Into the bleaker switch.
In some unaccountable manner the
switch, which Is oidlnatlly set for the
bleaker track was thrown for the
trai k leading to the shaft. Instead of
turning and taking a eouise around the
head house, the tilp kept straight
ahead and Into the mouth of the shaft
In making the "fllng switch" tin

Vnown Indignation ran high, nnd
threats of violence towntds the en

practice of making flying switches was
forbidden, nrd that Engineer Price was
disobeying strict orders whenever he
did this thing. Pi Ice says that It was

MAN FOUND WITH
SKULL FRACTURED
HIS RECOVERY NOT EXFECTED
AT HOSPITAL.
His Name Is John O'Malley and He
Was Found Unconscious Under
tho Bridge at Olyphant on Whlcli
the Delaware and Hudson Railroad
Crosses tho Lackawanna River.
Ho Has a Number of Painful In
juries Besides the Fracture of tho
Skull.
A mini named John O'Malley Is at
the Lackawanna hospital with a frac
ture at the baso of the skull, an ugly
contused wound on top of bis head, a
broken collar bone, both eyes closed
from 11 swollen and discolored condition
of the- face, and a scoie of minor
btulses 011 h's arms and hands.
Ills death was looked for at any time
since he was admitted at 10 o'clock
yestetday forenoon, nnd nt midnight
ho wns sinking surely toward tho end.
There Is n m story about his case.
Ho war found early jesterday morn
ing under the bridge over which the
Delaware and Hudson railroad crosses
the Lackawanna ilver, a Quarter of a
mile below tho Olyphant station.
How tt 1? that he wasn't drowned Is
another nivstery. If his body were
twelve Inches out of the position It
was In ho would have fallen Into water
fully deep enough to smother him. It
chanced that he fell on some rocks
piojectlng out of the bed of the stream
and laid tbeie The river Is low, too,
at this time
Tho supposition Is that he fell
through the bridge, but he could have
been the victim of foul play. The ftac
tuie at the base of the skull Is what
the doctots call a contro coup, which
translated Into the vernacular, means
a fracture at a dlffetent place to the
point of contact of the blow or force.
There Is no cxternnl wound at the
place of fiacturc, but It Is believed
that the fracture was produced by the
force which caused the contused wound
on top of tho head.
O'Malley was regarded as slightly
demented. There would be no motive
imaginable whv any person would in
flict these wounds upon him. He was
discovered by a track walker, and wns
unconscious when found He was un
conscious up to midnight, and will
ptobnbly die without regaining his
senses
At one time he was In good circum
stances Several years ago he kept a
store, met with business leverses, and
went clerking for a living. Fiom that
he di If ted to a laboring position, anil
was leeent'i In the employ ot Street
Commissioner O'Bovle on the stieets
of this city. Ho did not make his res
I lence of lato years vety long In one
place. He Is about BO years of age.
