One Man's Head Crushed to a Shapeless Mass and Another Looses His Life Under a Trip of Cars King Coal laid heavy tribute upon tills vicinity on Monday, two lives being necessary to satisfy his demands. The first victim was Andrew Shiner, an Eekloy young man who was employ ed around No. 10 breaker. lie was watching a number of railroad cars approaching the coal pockets, alongside of which lie stood. Ilis position was a dangerous one, but he was safe enough while lie remained perfectly still. Unfortunately#Shiner leaned out his body while the cars were passing, and a box car, which is wider than the ordinary gonndola, caught him. Before lie could draw back, his head was pushed forward until it came in contact with a large beam, where it was crushed into a shapeless mass. Death resulted in a few minutes. Shiner was a Slavonian and was 10 years of age. He resided at Eckley with iiis parents and was a popular young man around the town. No. 2 colliery, Highland, was the scene of the second accident, which oc curred between 11' and 12 o'clock tho same night. Georgia Cortesic was the unfortunate whose life wont out hero. Cortcsie was employed as a laborer, and ended his shift shortly before 11 o'clock. He started for tho bottom of tho slope, on his way homeward, and was overtaken by Joseph Houston, of town, who was driving a trip of cars. Seeing an opportunity to save him self tho labor of walking, Cortesie jumped on the cars. After riding some distance a loud shriek was suddenly heard. Houston looked behind, and seeing nothing of the man, stopped liis team and went back to investigate. There lie found Cortesie lying across tiie rail and dying from the elTects of liis injuries. The body was almost cut in two and lie lived only a few minutes. It is supposed the mail began shifting about on the cars and, missing his hold or liis footing, dropped between the bumpers. Probably half a dozen cars passed over him. Cortesie boarded at Drifton and the remains were taken to that town. Hi was 38 years of age, and was an Italian. Through Line to Buffalo.
