Victim of an Accident While j Returning Home to Friends j From a Hospital. Both Hi.i Legs Cut Off. Watson Wright, for many year a prosperous farmer in Elk land town ship, met a terrible death last Thur day night along the railroad trai K near Norristown, Pa. He was found dying along the track with both legs cut oft', suffering intense pain, expir- j ing a short time after being cared ; for. Mr. Wright had been receiving: treatment at a Philadelphia hospital, during the past mouth and was on j his way home. Before leaving the j city he purchased a team of horses and for some reason was traveling on the same train that carried his team. At a point near Norristown the freight train was sidetracked to give the main line to the Canon Ball ux press train which passed that point about ten o'clock in the eve ning. As the train was standing one of the breakmen came to the caboose and told Mr. Wright that one of his horses was sick and he went up to the car to see what was wrong. After the express train bad passed, the freight pulled on and no notice was taken of Mr. Wright by the train crew. A few hours after a trackman while passing along the siding found Mr. Wright laying by the track with both legs cut off and almos tunconscious, groaning with intense pain and weakened with loss of blood. He yet had life enough to tell who be wa-> and where he was from, but bow the accident occured no one knows. He was carried to a nearby station in an unconscious condition and sent on the next train to a Philadelphia hospital where he died a few minutes later. Word was telegraphed to his son in-law ('has. E. 1 laight of Forksville who brought the body to the late home of the deceased on Saturday. The sad affair was painfully shocking i to the country side where be has long been known and held in high re gards. He leaves a family of live grown children to mourn the loss of a kind father. The funeral service was held on Monday. The horse that had taken sick in the car died before reaching Dushore. Still Tallinn Testimony in the Injunction Case Against Striking Miners. Judge Little held court again hist week in the injunction case against the striking miners of Bernice. The principal evidence in the case was given by two detectives who bad been sent among the striking miners by the Company. Their testimony was along the same line as given at the previous bearing, but was heigh tened a little by their fluent manner iu testifying. Court adjourned until Wednesday of this week when it is expected to finish all the testimony on both sides. FELL IN DANGEROUS PLACE. A. E. Tripp Has Narrow Escape i'roni Death While Wording an Dam, Street Commissioner A. E. Tripp had a narrow escape from drowning Saturday morning while at work at tin l outlet of Lake Mokonta trying to enlarge the capacity of the over flow. The lever on whice he was lifting slipped its bold and Mr. Tripp went headforemost to the hot tow of the lake at the mouth of the outlet. A bridge crosses the sluice which wtts tilled within a few inches to the bridge and running with ter rific force to a torrent below. As Eugene came up he was caught in the current and overpoweml, but as he was whirled to the mouth of the sluice be luckily caught the end of the bridge with his arms and with the aid of Win.

The worst down pour of rain ever know to the "oldest inhabitant" that visited this section of the state Saturday, <li<l much damage to prop erty in idl parts of Sullivan county. Thousands of dollars will be requir ed to replace bridges washed away and damage done to roads. Some farmers around Dushore are heavy losers, the top soil of their land be ing almost entirely washed away. Washouts and landslides caused a suspension of trattic along the W. & N. B. road until late in the afternoon. The L. V. road was also badly crip pled all day Saturday. CREEKS ON RAMPAGE. Water poured over the breast of Lake Mokomadam, the outlet being entirely too inadequate to carry off the overflow as it has always done before. A small run at Itingdale rose so high and flowed with such force as to roll rocks along its course that one team of horses could not move. Scores of houses in the low lands along the Muney creek was flooded. The old splash dam above Sonestown went out which for a time imperiled life and property. The storm was general from Pitts burgh to New York City. At Mauch Chunk four persons drowned by be ing caught in the current running through a street and carried to the raging torrents of the Lehigh.

P. Hall removed his children to a place of saftey before the bridge was carried away. The cause of the extra high water was the breakage of the dam above town. The water in the creek reach ed the high iron railroad bridge. The school board of Davidson Twp. met Monday afternoon, and among other business hired the fol lowing teachers. Emmons, A. U.
