A FATAL FALL.
Put Old Man Missed His Footing on a
Stair and I)atli Followed.
Hugh Ke'ly, aged 68 years, fell down
stairs about 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon at the residence of Patrick Dugan,
Ridge and Carbon streets. Death in
stantly followed. Mr. Kelly went to
visit Mr. Dugan, who was ill yesterday,
and was alone with his friend in a room
on the second floor. When he rose to
leave he started for the stairs, and upon
reaching them missed his Tooting in
some manner. Tie came down the steps
head foremost. The fall broke his neck,
and when picked up by Mrs. Dugan and
John McNulty, of South Heberton, who
were sitting in a room at the foot of
the stairs, he was dead.
Mr. Kelly was an old and respected
resident of town, and with his wife
lived with his daughter, Mrs. James
Carey, on Centre street below South.
The remains were immediately taken
to his home.
Besides his wife the deceased leaves
two sons and three daughters. One of
the sons, Edward, is in Illinois, the
other lives at home. Of the three daugh
ters one is Mrs. James Carey and the
other two live in New York city. All
have been informed of their father's
sudden death, and are expected to ar
rive in time for the funeral, the time of
which is given in another column.
llroke Two Ribs.
Hugh O'Donnell, Sr., of Walnut
street, sustained painful injuries on
Wednesday evening by falling on the
j ice in the rear of his residence. Some
water, which had been spilled on a
board walk, became frozen, and Mr,
1 O'Donnell walked quickly across the icy
boards. As he did, he fell, and two ribs
were broken by the violent shock. He
is suffering considerable pain at present,
and although no fatal results are expect
ed the injuries are of such a nature that
he will be laid up for some months.
A Serious Fall.
Mrs. Peter Carr, aged about 74 years,
a resident of Chestnut and Pine streets,
met with a distressing accident on Satur
day afternoon about 2 o'clock. She was
going around the corner of her residence
when she slipped on tho ice and fell
upon her left thigh, breaking it near the
socket. Owing to the old lady's ad
vanced years she is in a critical condi
tion, but her physician, Dr. McDonald,
is hopeful of her recovery.
Less Time ami Lower Wiigen.
During December the majority of the
collieries will wty-k but three-quarter'
time. The coal war and the subsequent
efforts at patching up a truce have
brought no good cheer to the miners.

region for the month has taken a drop
of one per cent below what it was last
month, making it 9 per cent below the
$2.50 basis.

From the Munch Chunk Gazette.
The Atlantic and Pacific Railway
Company, behind which there is a pow
erful English syndicate, has had a corps
of sixteen engineers at work here for a
week surveying their lino through Car
bon couuty. The railway is to be an air
line across the continent from New York
to San Francisco, and passes through
Chicago, which city will he brought
within fifteen hours of New York, and
San Francisco forty-fiye hours of Now
Y'ork.. The English syndicate, it is said, !
have contracted to take 150 millions of '
the bonds, and have placed a bill in the I
hands of Congressman Childs, of Illi
nois, asking the government's endorse
ment of the bonds, in return for which
the railway company is to turn over 51 !
per cent of its capital stock to the govern
ment as a present.*'
The survey is now completed from the
Mississippi to the Delaware. Construe- !
tion is to begin next spring, and the i
