Young Man Killed.

torday morning in No. 5 slope, Jcddo,
by the derailing of an air-motor. Ho
resided with his step-father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. James Logan, on Wash
ington street, near South.
The young man was employed as a
patcher, or assistant, on the motor.
The engineer was Hugh Ronshaw, of
Oakdale, who, while engaged elsewhere,
authorized Moy to take out a trip of six
teen cars. While going down a heavy
incline the inetor got away from the
young man and left the track. One of
the levers of the machine penetrated
Moy's body and,caused Instant death.
The motor, in swinging off the rails,
was thrown against the compressed air
pipe, which it burst. The pipe was charg
ed with 8(,0 pounds of air. The force of
this explosion added to the wreck and
assisted in destroying the engine and
cars. The damage was so great that
operations at the-colliery wero suspend
ed for the day.

motor at the same spot and in the same
manner as that which caused the death
of Patrick Gallagher, of Adauis street,
last winter.
