FIVE KILLED
IN WRECK
The worst wreck that has occurred
ion the I) L. & W. Railroad iu many
I years took placo yesterday forenoon
' two miles west of Hunlock's Creek
directly opposite Retreat. It was a
head-on collision, between passenger
train 704, which passes this city at
10 :1 !• n. m.and uu extra friight train
draw n by enigtie No. 204.
TIIE DEAD.
Henry Greenwood, baggage master,
Scrautou.
Albert Stookey, tireuian, passenger
train, Scranton
Chailes Snyder, engineer freight
train, Northumberland.
Charles Graham, express messenger,
Scranton.
Firemau Ringsdorf, freight traiu.
Twelve cr more were injured,among
them being Mrs. Emenck, wife of the
proprietor of tie Ten Cent Store,
this city ; Dane Kingsbury, foreman
on D. L. & W. improvements and
known here, who had his leg crushed,
skull fractured ami back hurt ; also
Charles Krog, the well known con
tractor of Berwick. Frank Poole en
gineer of passenger train ot Scranton,
was badly injured and at first reported
dead. Arm torn off and lacerated scalp.
Christian Beavers who according to |
first reports vas fatally injured it was i
learned later escaped with but slight i
injuries.
Tlie collision was one of the most <
terriOc ever witnessed, a> the trains,
which were proceeding in opposite
directions were running not less than
30 miles an hour and crashed together
so suddenly, so unexpectedly, that it
drove terror into everv heart.
The scenes after tlie accident can
better le imagined than pictured, for
all about were injured people, groan
ing and crying out with pain, cars
were driven one into the other and the
engines were a mass of jumbled iron
and wires.
There were a number ot pasy*ngers
uuinjured on the train, and they went
to work at once, releasing the unfor
tunate men from tlie wreckage. It was !
hard to get at some, as they were pen- I
ned in on all sides by wire, iron and j
wood. However, the best possible was j
aoue under the conditions. The poo- i
pie at Hunlock and at Shicbshinuy
threw open their homes and the dead 1
and injured were taken there.
The officials, as soon as notified, iu
turn requested all the physicians at
Nanticokc, Plymouth and Kingston to
board the special traiu. which was
made up in the Kingston yards and
proceed at once to the scene. The offi
cials also took the hospital car. Many
of the injured were oared for in the
latter.
The doctors worked like trojans,
bandaging injured and braised limbs
lacerated parts and in one cas -an am
putation had to be made Som > diffi
culty was experienced in rescuing the
unfortunate people from the wrecked
cars, as at iutervals it looked as if the
woodwork of the cars would be ignit
ed by the burning coals in the de
ftroyed ei)gin o °.
The passengers, the farmers and the
residents ot* Hunlo u.au ! Shickshiuny
were tireless in their efforts to be of
service.
The first news of the accident reach
ed ll.is ■ ity early after noon it spread
like wildfire and the rumors wero
numerous and varied. Same said there
was as high as ten killed, others de
clared that it was even more, but an
investigation proves that five train
hands met their death,and about nine
passengers were more or less injured,
but not fatally.
Mrs A. M. Dkhl, of this city, and
Jol n C. Havens, who is engaged in
getting out a souvenir boak here,were
al-o on the train but escaped iniury.
According to the best information a
train was made up in the Kingston
yard and ordeied to proceed to North
umberland. The officials allege that
the crew was notified to w<ilt at West
Nanticoke for the New Yoik flyer, to
pass. They misunderstood the orders,
or did net comprehend their import,
for they passed the siding and even
moved by Huulock's Creek at a rapid
rate of speed.
It was evident that the crew was
trjiug to make the siding at Shicfe
shinny, and labored under th opinh n
that tho passenger train, which is a
New York flyer would meet them
there. The operator at Shickshinny
says he did not receive any informa
tion regarding the extra, and whi 1 e
the bossis at Nanticoke saw it pass,
yet paid no attention, beli ving it to
be on'er orders and therefore had the
right of the way.
This fatal freight went on its way
and on the sngle track, a Oioit dist
ance below Huulock's (<ruek and op
posite Retreat Hospital, w'lile round
ing a curve with the canal on one side
and the steep mountain'' on the other,
the trains met in one of these death
dealing crashes, which drives terror
into every heart.
When the cra-h occurred both en
gines were raised slightly oil the rails
as if one was trying to master tho
ot'ier. There wa< a lull in tha move
ment, but the freight was the heaviest
and it pressed the passenger back
through its tender luio the baggage
car, dealing death and destruction in
its w»v.

!GKO. MARSHALL'S
TERRIBLE FLIGHT
George Marshall, who resides on
Railroad street,near tlie Borough line,
late Saturday night was found lying
Hose to the bi k s] ring near the D. L.
& \V. station in a state of somi-cou
sciousness, with his face covered with
blood and suffering from the effects of
other injuries of a serious nature.
Most people believed that he was a
victim of foul play until Sunday
morning when his hat was found ly
ing on tlie high P. & R. trestling im
mediately above that spot, indicating
that while attempting to cross be fell
|to the ground,a distance of some thirty
I feet.
He was discovered about 10-30
o'clocl Saturday night. William Rit
ter, Jr., Railroad street, while re
! turning home heard some one groan
ing in the vicinity of tlie big spring.
\ He informed his fattier of the fact and
( the latter started out to investigate.
Arriving at the spring he found tlie
' man still groaning and not wholly
J conscious Ho repaired to the house
of Wesley DeSliay.D. L. & W. avenue,
j and reported what had occurred. Mr.
; DeShay lighted a lantern and tlie two
; men returned to the spring. The in
j jured man was unrecognizable owing
( to tlie blood which was clotted about
his face and he could not tell any
thing about himself.
The news soon reached Eugene Moy
er'e hotel, opposite the P. L. & W.
station, ami several men at once went
! over to the spring to lend assistance.
The injured man was carried over to
the station and plated upon the bag- ]
! gage truck. Dr. Stock was called and
pending his arrival the man was car- j
riecl into the hotel and placed on a
cot. He was conscious for a moment ;
at a time. He recognized a couple of |
persons, but instantly lapsed into in- j
sensibility and no satisfactory answer j
could b° obtained to the questions, j
Desjiite the most diligent search bis '
hat could not be found anywhere near [
the spring, which was regarded as a
singular circumstance.
At the physician's advice about mid- |
night the man was removed to his j
home His injuries were found to con- !
sist ot a broken pelvis, a badly sprain
ed wrist, besides several cuts about
the face. Dr. Stock said Sunday
that the injury to the pelvis is quite j
strious.not due so much to the broken
bone alone as to the complications
that might ensue.
The injured mau is a puddler em
ployed at the Structural Tubing plant.
Ho is thirty odd years of age and lias
a wife and two children.
Wesley DeShay had a theory tliat
the man sustained his injury by fall
ing from the high P. & R. tre-tllll k
which crosses the D. L. & W. railroad
at the spring. To satisfy himself af
ter daylight Sunday morning he
climbed the trestling and there .sure
enough he found the missing hat,
which lay on the platform beside the
track forming tho roof of the coal
bins. The hat lay on a spot immedi
ately above where the man was found,
which settles the question as to how
the injuries were sustained. Under
the most favorable circumstances the
man will be confined to his home for
many weeks.
Guardsmen Earn riedals.
The season for qualifying with rifle
and revolver tor the National Guard
of Pennsylvania closed on October 31st.
Connected with the showing made by
Company F are some interesting facts
relating to long-term record", med »ls.
etc.
The local company held up the stand
ard of former years qoaiifying sixty
men as follows: One sharpshooter,
twenty marksmen, fifteen first class
men twenty-four second class men.
Owing to failure of six men to quali
fy for various reasons ttie company's
figuie of merit will be f>7.B per cent.
Hie total score must be divided by the
whole number, <'>(>, and not by <SO. the
actual number qualifying. Thus it
will be seeu to wiiat extent the show
ing might have been improved had all
qualified. The officers are required to
qualify with revolver as well as witn
rifle.
Company F this year is fortunate in
having two men entitled to the ten
yt ar gold medal. In order to win this
medal a man must have shot ten con
secutive years. The two members of
the company who have complied and
have won the ten-year medal are
lartermasler Servant George R.
Gross and Private William 11. Frv.
Lieutenant Frank Keefer has this
year earned a fourteen-year pennant
that carries with it a distinction of
having shot fourtem consecutive
years. Besides this year's winners
| there are only two members of the
! company who have won ten years'
! medals -Captain J. Beaver Gearhart
and Sergeant William R. Watts.
Captain Gearhart was the first to

W. H. Brinkerhoff.of ShippensbDrg,

fight that lias been instituted by the
State against the San Jose scale Mr.
BrinkerhofT has made arrangements to
conduct a pnblio demonstration in the
Grand Jury Room on Thutsday, Nov
ember 16th, at 10 o'clock.
Mr. Brinkeihoff is a member of a
class of 22 men who recently under
went a course of instruction on San
Jose Scale at State College. The State
has been divided into districts, each
of the men in the class being given
oue of these districts. This district,
the 21st, is comprised cf Montour,Col
umbia, Notthambe Imd and Schuyl
kill counties. After the demonstration
in the Grauri Jury room, Mr. Rrinker
hoff will hold demonstrations m the
orchards of any persons whoso desire
Mr. BrinkerhotT is thoroughly ac
quainted with ttie -übject of San Jose
scale, and talked v rv interestingly
about it yesterday. He said that the
scale was brought to this country on
some Japanese plums about tw<lve
years ago.atid gained its first foot hold
in California. From thence it came to
New Jersey and siuce then it has
sprea I throughout Pennsylvauia.
The soutl eru portions of the State |
are infested with it the worst, the
quantity of the SCMI-J growing l-'ss to
ward the north. The scale, however,
is spreading lapidiy, and millions of j
dollars worth of fruit, fruit trees, or- i
uameutal trees a;id shurbbery have j
been destroyed in Pennsylvania dur- j
ing recent years. The pest is so in- J
conspicuous that it lias destroyed j
many orchards without owners know- j
ing the cause of the trouble. It c*n
be detected only by an expert or by I
one who has seen it,and it can be sue- '
cessfu'ly tie»ted only bysp-cinl moth- |
ods which the Division of Zoology i
of the State Department of Agricul-j
ture is arranging to demonstrate.
At the meetiug iu the Grand Jury
room which is for the purpose of
starting the work of exterminating the

wli-jre the scale occurs as far as possi
ble and making appointments for locil

As the result of a very painful iu
i jury caused by a red hot bar of iron
ploughing through the fles'i at the
J calf of his leg Christian Loeli, bot-s
| roller at the Structural Tubiug Work.-
lies bedfast at his home on Church
street.
Tlie accident is a very bad one, as
aside from the laceration tho action
of the hot non on the wound is such
as to seriously delay healing. The
fl-tsh including the muscles W3s sever
ed into the region of the bone, al
though the doctors believe that the
bone itself is not injured.
Mr. Loeh was seen by a representa
tive of the Morning News Saturday
evening and ho told how it happened.
It was an accieleut for which he pure
ly was responsible alone. Prepara
tions were being made Saturday morn
ing, he said, for changing rolls aud a
uew roll had just been brought down
to tlie spot. Mr. Loeh wa* busy with
this roll and iu giving some directions
took a couple of steps backward in
front of a red-hot bar of iron, which
at that moment shot through the rolls.
It struck his left leg at the fleshy part
below the knee laying the flesh open
iu to the bone. Some idea of the terri
ble injury may be formed wlieu it is
explained that the hot bar, which was
one of four inches by three-sixteenths
of au injh, upon coming in contact
with Mr. Lr.eh's leg was bent upwards
by the torce of the blow.
The injured man reeled over to a
bench aud proceeded to examine his
leg,the sickening flow of blood at once
indicating the extent of the injury.
Mr. Loeh was i by his fellow
workmen ovsr to the millwright's
quarters, where at his own direction
his liinb Wi»s tightly bandaged to stop
the flow of bl)od.
In a short time Dr. Curry repsouded
to a hurry call and after temporarily
dressing tho wound, diove Mr. Loeh
to his houin om Church street, win re
later Dr. 11. S. Button was called to
assist. The wound was stitched a;->
well as it could be under the circum
stances and Saturday night aud yester
day the man was resting fairly well.
No serious complications are looked
for but just what the full effects of
tho injury may be it is a little too
early to prelict.
Mr. Loeh has been au iron worker
tor years; nine years of
this time he was employed in Ger
many. In this long period he has sus
tained many injuries as are attested
by the numerous scars that may be
seen on his stalwart frame. He ac
knowledges, however, that the present
injury, is the worst that he ever sus
tained.
