A Distressing Accident at Wm. Pcnn Saturday Night. YOUNG MAN WAS ALMOST KILLED. Was Asleep ou tho Traok When Struck. 'I he Prompt Action) of the Motor Man Saved tho Victim From a. Horrible Death. A suddon jolt, followed successively by moans and cries of patq from a human Voice, startled tho pajeengejs of a oar oil tho Schuylkill Traction line at Wm. Penn shortly before eleven o clock Saturday night. The passengers who hurried to tho sldo from whenco tho agonising ertes camo and looking through tho windows saw a man lying upon his back with the lower half of his body under the car. Tho oar 'was Btopped almost Immediately after tho Jolting was felt. Robert Beuuy, tho motonnan, and Conductor Kehoe, followed by several of tho passengers, went to tho assistance ot the victim, who proved to be Isaac Davis, a young mau about 20 years of ago. Tho victim's right leg, at the thigh and but a few Inches from the hip, was firmly wedged between tho front wheol of tho oar and the rail. Efforts wero made to lift tho car in order to relcaso tho sufferer, but at tho timo thero was not sufficient holp at hand. It was then found that tho car could bo run back without further endanger ing tho victim, and this was done. Davis was conscious and Bccmcd to sutler as much from fright as from his Injuries. Ho moaned pitcously and in spito of assur ances to tho contrary declared that his legs wore cut off. He was carefully removed from beneath tho ear and given in chargo of relatives who had hurried to tho 6ceno meanwhile A lounge borrowed from a resident of the neighborhood was used to convey tho young man to ills home, which was a short distance from the place whero tho accident occurred. Dr. G. M. Hamilton, of town, was summoned and after an ex amination of Davis fouud that tho right thigh had been fractured in two places. Thero was also a laceration at tho lower part of tho abdomen that required twelvo stitches. Yesterday tho young man was removed to the Miners' hospital. Tho causo and manner of tho accident is best told in tho language of Robert llcnny, the motonnan who was in chargo of tho car. He states that wlion noaring thoplaco known as Duulap's on his trip to Shenandoah, ho cut off tho power nnd applied tho brakes as usual, seeing tho track clear and thoro being no occasion for a full stop ho released tho brakes and put on thocurrcnt,but had hardly dono so when ho noticed tho doubled up form of a man on the track, several yards ahead. Benny quickly shut off tho power a second tlmo and re-applied tho brakes, but tho car had attained such speed that the wheels slid along tho rails. Davis was ovidently asleep. Ho was sittiug on tho north rail and his bead was bent forward nnd resting npou his arms, which wero held up by his knees. Tho front part of tho car struck him with only sufficient force to knook tho upper part of his body back from tho track, Tho front sliding wheel then cuught the victim's leg and forced tho body along the rail for thrco or four yards. Had tho car wheels been in motion both legs of tho young man would havo been cut off closo to tho hips. Davis Is about 20 years of ago and lived in this town until tho past summer, when ho got married and moved to Wm. I'enn. His condition is vory serious. It Hits the Spot That's Right. What?

The room wu crowded with friends of the family who were there to attend the double funeral. It lias not been the fate of many to wit ness a more harrowing or dramutlo scene. Distressing as it was. It had no effect in wringing a confession from the prisoner, as was expected, but although It" materially contributed to the wreck of his nervous system, It only strength ened his declaration that the blood of his mother and grandmother was not upon his hands. It was necessary for the two police men to half carry the staggering young man Into the house. "When Ell entered tho death room he collapsed oompletely, and It required the efforts of both the policemen to keep him on his feet. "My Oddl My Qodi" he orled. "Oh, God knows I wouldn't harm a hair of their heads. "What have I done that they should accuse me of such a horrible crime! How, how could I do such a thing as they accuse me of when you were both so good and kind to me?" Turning to the bier of his mother the dramatic oilman was reached. 'Speak! oh, speak to me. mother!" he sobbed. "Tell them that I nm Innocent! Oh, my God! I am Innocent! I am innocent!" Muttering these protestations the yoi,ng man was led from the room, limp and prostrate. ' The authorities insist that Ell Is the murderer, though they have postponed the inquest Indefinitely "In order to allow us to obtain more evidence."

SKETCH OF AN ACT1YE CAREER ! A Journalist Who For Many Years Had Been Foremost in His Profession, and Who Was an Untiring Worker. Socialistic Ideas of-HIs Early Life. New York, Oct. 18. Charles A. Dana, editor of the,New York Sun, died at' his home in Glen Cove, L. I., at 1:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr. Dana's death had been expected for several hours, and his family and physicians were at his bedside when the end came. His condition had been such for several months that the mem bers of his family had kept themselves in constant readiness to go to his bed side at any moment. On Saturday morning he had a relapse, and It was apparent that recovery was Impossible. Several times, however, he rallied, but toward night he began to sink. During the night there were feeble rallies, but they did not last long. Yesterday morning It was seen that the end was but a few hours off, and his attendants remained almost constantly at his bed side. The end came quietly. The extreme heat of Saturday and Friday had much to do with hastening tho end. On Friday he showed signs CHARLES A. DANA. of distress, and everything possible was done to relievo him. He had been weak ened by his long Illness, and during the summer was several times thought to be on the verge of a fatal collapse, but each time he rallied. Ho did not Im prove much with the coming coaler weather, and the sinking spoils became more frequent. On Friday Mr. Dana was able to take only the lightest nourishment, and this condition continued. Paul Dana and his. sisters, Mrs. Draper, Mrs. Underbill and Mrs. Branan, were at his home on Saturday morning, and were warned to remain there. They were at the bed side when death came. The cause of Mr. Dana's death was cirrhosis of the liver. On June 9 he was at his office apparently strong and healthy. The next day he was taken III, and he never nfterward visited New York. George William Curtis used to say that If there had been no such thing aB Journalism In existence Charles An derson Dana would have created the business of gathering news nnd selling It and commenting upon It In such a manner as to attract attention. Of all the men who have gained fame and for tune by evspaper work, Mr. Curtis believed that Mr. Dana was the best equipped for such enterprise both by native ability and acquired endow ments. Although Mr. James Gordon Den nett will probably maintain so long as Journalism lasts the fame he won as the founder of a modern American Journalism, and although Horace Gree ley will stand pre-eminent as the po litical journalist, and Henry J. Ray mond as the politician journalist. It is probable that the traditions of Jour nalism as thev shall be told In the future will point to Mr. Dana as tho greatest of American journalists. Yet Mr. Dana had no idea in his early life what his career was to be. As a boy In a rocky and desolate New Hampshire town It seemed to those who knew him that he was physically oi sucn structure as made the success ful farmer. The clergyman and tho school teacher recognized, however. early in his boyhood days that, big oonea ana stalwart framed as he even then was for a lad, his physical equip ment was well matched by his Intel lectual. He was one of those boys of whom It sometimes Is said that learn Ing Is not a study or a task, but a de light for them. He had scarcely any need to go to college. His mind was cf that peculiar constitution sometimes discovered which suggests that there Is no need ot mental discipline. The very qualities wheh a college curricu lum are supposed to develop he pos sessed by native gift. He took to the classics before he was 10 years of age. He was born at Hinsdale, N. H., on Aug. 8, 1818, and when he was 18 years of age he entered Harvard college. Im mediately giving evidence, that he pos sessed unusual mental glfti. 13ut he was obliged to give up his college course.. "Whether It was over use of his eves hy eandls light or neglect, a functional disturbance which threatened to become organic compelled him to abandon his book just as he was entering the junior year. Soon after Mr. Dana thought of a mercantile career, and he went to Buf falo, then a thriving village, where, with a relative, he sold goods oyer the counter. A short experience was suffi cient to satisfy him that his calling was not In trade. He became fascinated with the problems of socialism as they were discussed In his early youth, and he gladly Joined that famous but wholly Impossible socialistic community called llrook Farm, which was established In what was then the town of Itoxbury, Mass.
