1LEANINGS
OF THE DAY
Accidents Ocurring: In and Out of
the Mines.
A RESERVOIR ACCIDENT!
An Italian Laborer Covered Willi Clay.
Two Victims of Mishaps In tue Mines.
None Dangerously Injured.
Three accidents were added to the rec
ord yesterday, two having occurred In
the mines nnd one nt tho Fowler's Run
reservoir of the public water works, but
fortunately none of the mishaps were of
such a character as to endanger life.
There was n singular coincident in con
nection with two of them.
The first victim was Giovnnnl Pontillo.
an Italian laborer employed nt Fowler's
Run. He was engaged In plying a shovel
in the excavation for tho reservoir when
n big clod of earth slid down upon him
from the embankment, fracturing his
right leg and Inflicting Internal injuries.
He was removed to the Miners' Hospital
at-Fountain Springs.
While the injured Itnlian was nt the Le
high Valley depot awaiting the arrival of
a train to take him to the hospital a crowd
of Poles from the O'Hnrn row of houses
opposite the depot gathered about htm to
learn tho nature of tho injuries and how
they were sustained. Among these was
William I'oKis, wno became satisneu
and returned to his house. Two hours
later, while Pokls was at work in
a breast of the Shenandoah City colliery
and telling his butty of the Italian's
misfortune, a large lump oi coal roued
down upon him anil pinned him
beneath. It was at first thought that
Pokls had been fntallv crushed, but a
careful examination showed that he had
only snstnined a squeeze of the thigh"
and no fractures. Pokls was taken to his
home.
The third victim was John White, of
West Oak street, employed as a londer at
West Hhennuaoan colliery, lie had his
rlcrht hand mashed. While White was
running cirs into a siding his hand was
caught between the brakes of two cars, as
they bumped against each otner. ai
though no bones were broken the hand
will be disabled for some time.

The left half of his head was blown away
and his left arm. Fulweiler was a son of
Farmer Fulweiler, of East Mahanoy

result.

a large audience, which was swelled by
the attendance of mnny people from other

ialties were Introduced. Stove Corey was
particularly amusing nnd the acrobatic
specialty of the three Lnssards won de
