The enormous pile of WOOden

quite a distance to behold, From three
or four pieces of WOOd elegantly fitted
together to make Bower pot stands, to

wooil carving, the display was certain-ly
a credit to the school. The tables
ill this room were fairly packed with
the result of a year's work and rolling
pins, sail boxes, and other articles
were there in abundance. The centre

made by the older scholars of Ihe

subsequently by a cnblogram from
Rome announcing that Cardinal Gib-bons

They all lived at Mogeelown In the
Italian colony at that place and have
only lieen working nt the furnace from
one lo three months.
On Sunday morning Ihey went lo
work ns usual and were assigned In
a squad In carry railroad ties from a
poinl above the furnace building, lie
low In this work they chose Ihe short
"st route by walking along the tracks
of the main line of the Philadelphia *
Beading Railway Company which puss
directly in front of the furnace build-ing.
About li.30 o'clock the squad of four
Including Ihe three unfortunate for-eigners
were returning to the upper
■ nd of the furnace, having just depos-ited
a huge tie at the lower end. They
were walking along the tracks talk-ing
between themselves nnd did not
hear the warning note of a locomotive
is Ihe Iron monster rounded the curve
about all yards below. It was engine
No. 777carrying a caboose, on the Wesl
bound track and was going nt a high
rate of speed. As the engine rounded
the curve the engineer saw men on the
Hacks, applied the brakes nnd sound-en
the whistle hut the warnings could
not be heard by the unsuspecting for-
"Igners owing to the noise made by the
thumping engines in the room of the
furnace directly across from the point
where they had been walking.
The engineer's precaution had ap-parently
hut little effect on his engine
for the speed wns hut slightly dimin-ished,
and In an Instant the four men
were struck with terrific force by the
nglne and three of them were hurled
Into eternity. The fourth man. who
was more fortunate than his compan-ions,
escaped with a few slight bruis-es.
The three, however, who wore
struck with force, met instnnt death,
one of them having lmth legs cut off
below the knees, lingered for a few
moments before death relieved his
sufferings. He was nlso badly bruis-ed
about the face and lKidy. The other
tWO died instantly, for the skull of one
was crushed in and the other's skull
was fractured In several places. Their
iidiis were also badly bruised nnd
lacerated.
The locomotive which figured In the
accident was stopped and the three
lead hodles were placed in the caboose
and taken to Bridgeport station where
by the coroner's orders. Undertaker
Mack took uharge of them. It Is ru-mored
that one of Ihe dead men had
everal hundred dollars sewed In the
'Ining of his clothing but the report Is
false Only small sums were found In
ths dead men's clothes.
There was ipiile an excitement
used by a son of one of the dend Hal-
Inns at the place where the accident
ecurred. The youngster Is about 12
years of age and appeared on the scene
shortly after the men were struck. He
BCOgniSSd his fnther and the blow of
ins sudden nnd horrible death was so
,-;reat that the hoy completely lost his
bead He Whipped out a large knife
and attempted to OUt his own Ibroat
and II was with difficulty that the men
• bom ths Place succeeded IH restrain-ing
him from taking his life. He pre-sented
such a piteous spectacle thai
Superintendent II. A. Altenderfer of
tin- furnace luyi compnssloti on him
and went up lo the lad for (he pur-pose
of consoling him when the little
foreigner suddenly beoams Infuriated,
licw the knife from his pocket and
inly the quickness of the superinten-b
nl in disarming him, saved him from
"in' stabbed. Finally the lad was
quieted and sent home.
