STEPPED ON GLASS Some three months ago Mrs, Frank Murphy, wife of Frank Murphy, the well known clothing merchant, of No. 512 South Elmer avenue, stepped on a piece of glass which cut a gash of some extent in the bottom of the right foot. The wound healed quickly and nothing more was thought of the matter until recently, when the foot began to give her considerable pain. As the pain did not cease, she visited a physician, who advised that the foot be opened at the point where the wound from stepping on the glass was made. An incision was made and a piece of glass nearly three-quarters of an inch in length was found imbedded in the flesh. The glass was removed and it is thought there will be no further trouble. GONE TO THE JURY The taking of evidence in the Casey murder trial at Elmira, which has been in progress several days, was finished yesterday and this morning the judge charged the jury. It is expected that a verdict will be returned by the jury some time tonight. The evidence against Casey is decidedly strong and the citizens of Elmira are of the opin- ion that the jury will convict.

D,, for eight years a pastor of the Methodist church at Towanda, committed suicide at Lyons, N.Y., | . i 2 § Some Object Joseph Leslie, an engineer who resides at Susquehanna, this state, was killed while handling the throttle on an Erie freight engine, near Wellsburg last night. In just what manner Leslic met his death will perhaps never be known, but itis presumsd that he had stuck his head out of the window and that it came in contact with some object, the nature of which could not be ascertained. Between Che the engine had occasion to go the engineer's side of the cab and found Leslie lying on the floor with an ugly wound in the fore head, from which a stream of blood was gushing. The skull had been fractured and the engineer was stone dead when found by the fireman. The fireman took the dead engi~ neer's place and ran the train through to Waverly, where the authorities were notified and the in charge by friends today. The dead engineer was 435 years old and was well known to all the railroad men on the Erie. The following story of the mys- terious affair is told by our Waver- ly correspondent: Erie fast freight No. 86 came from Corning to Wellsburg last night about midnight with the engineer dead in his cab. This state of affairs was discovered at Elmira, where the train passed the station going at the rate of nearly a mile a minute, just a minute after another train had backed into the switch from the main track. An order was sent to Wellsburg to put the block signal against the train. The firemen, who curiously enough had not noticed anything wrong, then climed into the cab and discovered the terrible truth, Orders were sent from Elmira to have the engine detached from the train and the dead man brought to Waverly, and with this ghastly freight lying in front of him, over which he had to reach to grasp the throttle, the fireman carried out the order. Undertakers Hanford and Dodd, Erie Surgeon R. S, Harnden and Coroner Hilton had been notified and were at the depot, The body of the dead man was taken to Hanford's undertaking rooms, where an examination showed that the whole back of his head was crushed, and that death was caused by a fractured skull. His cap was found on the track one mile this side of Corning, at what is known as Mossy Glenn crossing, and it is generally be- lieved that he had put his head out the window and had been struck by the gates. Railroad men speak of him as a careful engineer and say that he undoubtedly had the in- jector on, which prevented the boiler from going dry. His fire~ man was Ray Mosier of Homnells- ville and the conductor was C. E. Stickles of Owego. - Joseph H, Leslie had been in the employ of the Ene for thirty years, working in the capacity of engineer a greater part of that time. He was a member of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, and has resided in Susquehanna for the past twenty-five years. He is survived by his wife and one son, Bruce, aged 23 years, and a daugh- ter aged 17. His son arrived in Waverly this morning and had the remains taken home on train No. 2 this noon. Claim Agent Blades of Homells- ville was in Waverly today looking into the matter.

DRINK VICTIMS Two Unfortunates Found Lying In the Gutter in a Helpless Condition A man whose name is unknown, stupefied from the effects of alcohol, was found lying along the sidewalk on North Lehigh avenue last night by a young man who was returning to his home. The hour was late and the weather was bitter cold. The young man continued to his home and told his father of the predicament the unknown was in. The two hastened to the place, but as they approached the spot where the man was lying two men were taking the unfortunate fellow away. Where they went with him is not known. Over in West Sayre another in- dividual, who had also fallen help- less from drink, was found in the street, and when rescued had nearly succumbed to the elements.
