'Phone 58S. HORRIBLY MANGLED, Martin Shell's Body Violently Thrown Thirty-Five Feet Into the Air. A MASS OF LIMP FLESH The Oiler at the Power HOUSA Met a Terrible Death Eirly Yesterday Morning While at Work. Martin Shell, an oiler in the power room of the Galveston street railway company, was ncciaentally killed yesterday morning at B.3G o'clock. There was no one In the room at the time except John Sebert, the asalstant engineer, who had, about five minutes before, started the engine for the day's business.

Shell had been oiling on the main shafting, which In upheld by standards placed on the floor. The engineer was at the engine on the other aid? of the buildlnir attending to his engine while It was getting up speed and casually watching Shell, who waa directly In front at work at one of the standards. Beside the standard is a pulley about Ave feet in diameter, and nearly two feet In width. The apokes in this wheel are set in from the rim five or six inches and the distance from the rim to the base of the standard at which Shell was at work is at least eight inches. There is a place on the base large enough to admit of a man's foot, but It was oily.

No one knows just how Shell met his death. For a moment the engineer directed his attention to something else, and In that moment the accident happened. The engineer saw Shell's body lifted by the wheel and thrown violently against the wall, rebounding Upward until it struck the roof, thirty-five feet from the floor, breuJtlng a hole in the boards, -then dropping to the floor in front of and within two feet of the big pulley that had caused his death. As th'e body struck the wall the left leg was severed and dropped in the dynamo room, five foot from where the body fell. The body was horribly mangled and crushed, making recognition impossible.

It IB thought that Shell stepped on the bane of the stnndnrd, that his foot slipped and he waa caught in the rim of the wheel, which was revolving' at a speed of about 300 revolutions a minute, and thrown with awful violence against the wall and up to the roof. There is a large spot of blood on the belt, but whether thin was made by the body btfore It wae thrown or when it fell Is not known. Then; Is also a big spatter of blood on the white wall, another on the roof and still another on the floor In front of the pulley. Justice of the Peace Finn was Immediately called and viewed the remains. He heard the engineer's story and rendered a verdict of accidental death, attaching no blame to anyone unless it be the man himself, who may have become careless.

He had been In the employ of the company about two months and a half, though he had been In Oalveston about two years. He had. a mother and brother in Brooklyn, N. who were w'ivieed of the unfortunate affair by wire 'by Colonel Sinclair, what disposition should be made of the remains. The decfaand was born of Irish parents In Brooklyn, N.

twenty-four years ago, and Colonel Sinclair him a cootf name, stating that he was lober, induatrl- niw amVtrustworthy. dontti nUHh- careleasnesB due to a familiarity with the machinery. in cade- Powder. An Invariable guide to succe Ing--Dr. Price's Cream Baktag REX'S ROYAL YACHT.

Tho Revenue Cutter Galveston Again Named for That Official Capacity. A dispatch from Washington to The News states that Congressman Meyer of New Orleans has secured permission to have the revenue cutter Oalventon used as Rex's yacht during the Mardi Qras carnival, the latter part of next month. This will not be the first time that the trim cutter has been used for such a purpose. Captain R. Clark, the commander, occupies the rank of lord high aJmlral In his majesty's navy, and is the proud possessor of a handsome Jewel of the order of St.

Hex, conferred upon him by his royal hlffhneRS during the carnival of 1894. The berlbboiied ajid sealed document conferring the title and Jewel reads as fellows: Department of Lord High Chamberlain, Palace of the Carnival--By Order of the Orleans, Jan. 22, M. Clark. Commanding Royal Yacht Galveston, Off Capital City of New Orleans--Greeting; It pleases his royal majesty Rex, king of the carnival, to confer upon you the exalted petition of lord high admiral In his majesty's navy, and will in due season accompany this title with the Jewel of the order of St.

Rex: this in appreciation of your long and distinguished services in the royal navy. In conveying this mandate of the royal pleasure, I am, BARTHWITH, Lord High Chamberlain. By the seventh secretary. Very soon cablegrams will begin to be printed In the New Orleans papers giving the information that the royal yacht, or flagship, has started with the royal party from his dominions across the seas, some four or five thousand miles, and every few days other cablegrams will appear in print reporting the progress of the ship. It Is unnecessary to say that thesr dispatches originate in the "home office." When the royal yacht reaches the mouth of the Mississippi an intense Interest has been worked up over her near approach, and when she sails up past the docks to her landing at the foot of Canal street evtry whistle in the city is loose, every bell clangs and cannon lend their reverberating thunder to the din.

Quite a ways down the river Rex and his royal Suite Aboard the cutter in the business suits of the every day American. A luncheon or breakfast ia served on board and the gentlemen retire to adorn themselves with all the splendor of foreign potentates. The cutter has been ly decorated In the meantime und Is a beautiful sight. During the carnival Captain Clark and his chief officers are the Ktiosts of the city of New Orleans and enjoy a right royal social time. The cutter has been up on the ways for the past week receiving a coat of fresh paint and she looks the typical ocean greyhound she is.

There Is no finer or larger revenue cutter In the service of the government than the Galveston. FROM THR I I RIVER. Mnjor P.

morning complaint wus made before Judge Curry, charging Annie Mashek with lunacy. The defendant, who fs a German woman about 27 or 28 year of age, has been behaving queerly for some time. Her mania seems to be that she owns the earth, consequently she has been In the habit or going about from place to place and entering any house she pleases, making herself perfectly at home, to the great Inconvenience of the householders and the terror of the women and children. Judge Curry Isaued a commitment Tor lunacy and ft was executed by Deputy Sheriffs Buroh and Parker. The officers had their hands full and It took their united efforts to convey the woman to Jail.
