DANIEL S. MUSSER
STRUCK BY A TRAIN
HORSE WAS KILLED AND WAG-
ON DEMOLISHED—SLIGHT
HOPES FOR MR. MUS.
SER’S RECOVERY.

A bad accident occurred at the
Angle street crossing of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad at Florin at 7.40 this
morning, when Mr. Daniel 8. Musser,
8 widely known farmer of East Don-
egal township, was struck by a train
and injured so severely that he may
die.
Mr. Musser is building a new house
along the trolley line in Florin and
was on his way to the house when the
accident occurred. This crossing is
a2 bad one and travelers going in
either direction cannot see a train
“antil they are real close to the tracks.
Mr. Musser was going west and a
stable on his right obstructed his
view of the train. His horse had just
stepped on the tracks when an east
bound train No. 42, with fourteen
pullman coaches, running at a high
rate of speed, as it was late owing to
a bad wreck at Lewistown that block-
ed four tracks, came along. It cut
the horse’s head off, throwing its
body quite a distance. The wagon
was badly wrecked and Mr. Musser
was thrown from fit.
The train was going so fast that
it did not get stopped until it reached
Comfort Avenue, here, a distance of
nearly a mile. P. R. R. workmen at
once went to the scene, placed the
unfortunate man on a stretcher, took
him to the Florin depot and train No.
4 east, was stopped and he was taken
to the General Hospital at Lancaster.
He was unconscious but a short time.
At the hospital it was found that
he had a compound fracture of both
legs above the ankles, he is lacerated
about the head and has several scalp
wounds. He is also injured about the
body. A message from the hospital
at 12 M. today said that it is possi-
ble that his skull is fractured and an
X-ray will be taken this afternoon.
At this writing he is conscious but
there are slight hopes for his re-
covery.
Mr. Musser will be forty-eight
years old tomorrow, Thursday, De-
cember 15th.

“The standard fourteen ounce loaf
' bread,” says the Farmers’ National
wuncil at Washington, ‘can profit-
ly be sold for five cents if farmers
t $2.50 a bushel for their wheat,
preventing profiteering between

wheat products.” With wheat
selling at a dollar today, where can
you buy bread for a nickel a loaf?

MR JOHN W. ESHLEMAN
SUCCEEDS J. W. FREED

That awful suspense; “Who will
be our next Postmaster?” ended on
Saturday when the news reached here
from Washington, D. C., that Post-
master General Hays recommended
to President Harding, the appoint-
ment of Mr. John W. Eshleman as
Postmaster at Mount Joy. The presi-
dent has already sent the appoint-
ment to the Senate for confirmation,
which, in all probability, will be act-
ed upon this week.
The selection is a good one and
was pleasing news to the people of
Mount Joy. Both our carriers say
their many patrons were pleased
when they learned of the appoint-
ment.
Mr. Eshleman is quite capable of
conducting the office in the right man-
ner. He has had many years of bus-
iness experience, having been at the
head of the Grey Iron Casting Com-
pany here a long time. At present
he conducts an auto accessory store
on East Main street. He is also a
director in several banking in-titu-
tions.
The other applicants for the office
were Messrs. C. N. Mumma, J. Willis
Freed, J. Fred Fenstermacher and
Mayme Fenstermacher.
