Youngers Meets a Horrible Death. TERRIBLY MANGLED. He Falls Under the Wheels of a Central Train While Alighting. Special to The Enquirer: Batavia, July 21. One of the saddest fatalities which has occurred In this section in years happened at an early hoar yesterday morning at the Central' Depot, when the life of John M.

Youngers, a well known and prominent Bataviau, was crushed out under the wheels of a fast Central express. Mr. Voung-er, who was a compositor In the office of the Daily News, had been to BufTalo and as he alighted from the train undoubtedly slipped on the wet planks at the depot ana fell under the wheels, being run over by both sets of trucks and horribly mangled. The terrible news was an awful shocK to bis hundreds of friends when it was heard. lie expired within fifteen minutes after the accident, although everything that medical as-hstunee could ao was done.

On Dec. 17 Mr. Youngers had an operation performed by Dr. I'aruieiner at the Buffalo City Hospital for the removal of a large gland in the neck and at lirst it was thought that the operation was a complete success, but this did not prove to be the case and since that time he has been obliged to go to Buffalo frequently to obtain treatment, and It was for this purpose that ho went to the city Sunday morn-lug. On the train returning were a number of other Bataviaus, but he was not In their company.

Mr. Youngers entered the car alone Buffalo and seated himself near Joseph A. Walslkoski. also a Batavian, and the two engaged In pleasant conversation until Kast Buffalo was reached, when Mr. Younger went to sleep.

When the train reached Batavia Walsikuski roused him by shaking him on the shoulders and telling him that he was at home, whereupon Youngers replied "all right," and his friend left him. This was the last seen of Youngers alive and whether ho followed his friend to the door or not is not known, as the latter did not look. It is supposed that Youngers, who was seated near the door opening into the baggage department, did not become thoroughly awake until the train had started up and tiieu becoming aware of his whereabouts he started up and hurried to the door. It Is thought that upon reaching he s.ipped on the platform, hlch was wet with rain, and fell, and to support this theory is the fact that ho went off the south side of the cor Instead of on the depot side where he would naturally have ailg'nted. As he fell he probably grasped a guard rod on the platform and swung around under the car when he lost hi hold.

Ernest Hill, a Rochester man, who was on the platfurm. hastened to the 6pot and found Mr. Youngers moaning faintly and still alive, but a. most unconscious. He lay with his head against the south rail and his body doubled up.

Assistance was immediately summoned and the train stopped, which after a few minutes delay started on. The unfortunate, man was picked up and carried under the fhed east of the depot. were hastily dispatched tor mej p-ai aid and Father Colgan, but by the time thev arrived Youngers had died without re gaining consciousness. He lived about fifteen minutes from the time the accident occurred. Coroner Parmelo was summoned and granted iiermlsslon for the removal of the remains to aily's undertaking rooms, where they were taken and prepared for burial, after which they were removed later to the deceased's home on Jefferson Avenue.

An examination of the remains revealed the fact that Mr. Youngers had evidently been rolled along In front of the rear trucks of the car. The wheels had passed over his right shoulder and down his right side and his right arm was ground to a pulp. The head and face was badly bruised and the remains otherwise mangled. The Coroner lnvestiga ted into the facts and decided that an Inquest was necessary and summoned the following jurors, who assembled at the undertaking rooms ln the afternoon and viewed the remains, after which an adjournment was taken until 2 P.

Special to The Enquirer: Westfield. July 21. There are a number of newly-fledged political spouters on the streets these days, who are forcing their arguments In favor of "free silver." It is noticeable that some of the most rabid rooters for the above mentioned article, are manifestly short on sliver Dut on wLnd. one man au- Taccea the argument that the poor man who has a thousand dollar mortgage on bis place can pay It. if we have free coinage, with a uO-eent dollar; or, in other words, can pay his $1,010 mortgage with $500.

He forgets that many mortgages against poor men's houses are due and that whenever It Is apparent the money of the country Is going to shrink In value the holder of every mortgage Is going to foreclose, rather than lose naif his claim by contraction and repudiation. The term "free silver" catches a good many who seem, to believe that if a "free silver" law is enacted, silver will be free as air. But the dupes who believe this delusion will wake to reullze that they will have to work Just as hard for a dollar as they do now, and when they get it It will be worth only 50 cents. In other words, with "free silver" a poor man will have to work two days to get a dollar's worth of money, where he has only to work one day now. Chaplain Hyde Stricken.

Medina, July has been brought against the vluage of Medina for the recovery damage. The cause of action Is based on the loss of a set of false teeth. The owner, owin? to the condition of the street fell, causing hVr teeth to drop out and striking on a stone breaking them beyond repair.

Be.iev-lng that the village should have kept the street in repair she has filed her claim for the amount necessary to purchase a new set of molars. The prospects for the app.crop ln Orleans County is the best ever kaowu. The trees being so burdened with fruit that owners of orchards throughout the couatry are obliged to use props to prevent the ihnbs from breaking. As a result of the alleged record ride from Medina to Lakeside made i. week ag.o, more or less dispute has arisen is to the correctness of the time and the ablity of one of the participants to make such fist time.
