Thomas D. Hutchins, yardmaster for the L. Railroad with headquarters Kingston, was instactly killed at Plymouth shortly before noon yesterday. He went down from Kingston to secure the numbers of a few cars which stood on a switch fronting the Dodson colliery, and after taking them stepped back on to one ofthe tracks, when he was struck by a trip taken from the Dodson colliery, knocked down, and one of the cars passed over his body, cutting it in The train which caused his death is on what is known as the Avondale run and was in charge of engineer Henry Hall and conductor Thomas Law. Of course, none of the crew are in any way to blame for the accident, as they did not see the unfortunate man.

The dismembered body was picked up and carried into the Dodson mine office and later placed on a train, taken to Kingstou, and later to his home on Maple street in that borough. Deceased was 36 years of age and is survived by a wife and two children. his father, three brothers, Edwin and Frank, of Binghamton, N. and James, of Middleton, N. and five sisters, Mrs.

Albert Jennings, of Corning, N. Mrs. Floyd Marble, of Franklin, N. Mrs. James Doolittle, of Harpersville, N.

Mrs. William Every, of Bastel, N. Y. and Mrs. Earl Palmadde, of Boston, Mass, He had been in the employ of the Lackawanna company for the past eighteen years and prior to coming to Kingston was varomaster at Gouldstoro and had previously been a conauctor.

He was prominent in Masonic circles and was a meinber of the Blue Lodge, chapter, and Commandery at Great Bend, and the Mystic Shrine of this city. He also had membership in the Mutual Aid Society of the Lackawanna Railroad and was a devoted member of the Presbyterian Church at Kingston. The funeral will be held on Thursday morning with services at his late home at 10:30. The remains will be placed on the noon train and taken to Hallstead, Lackawanna County, for interment. An accident horrifying in detail occurred at Glen vesterday morning when Wadick Nowack, a breaker boy, was instantly killed in No.

6 colliery of the Susquehanna Coal Co. The lad, was 14 years of age. was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Nowack and had been for a time engaged at one of the chutes where he was supposed to prevent the coal from becoming clogged.

About 11:30 young Nowack left his post and walked to the scraper line a few feet away and began poking some pieces of coal, when in some manner his clothing caught and the unfortunate youngster was drawn by the scraper line to the shafting, where his body was literally torn to picces. His head, one arm and one leg were severed from the body, while the intestines and brains were scattered upon the floor of the breaker. The duties of young Nowack did not call him in the direction of the scraper line, but the chute he was looking after WO.S carrying coal without any assistance from him, it is believed that in order to relieve the monotony of his labors he did as a number of boys have done before and as cthers have also done, paid the awful price. The fureral will take place to-day with services in St. Adelberts Church, Rev.

Father Siedlecki officiating. Inferment will be in St. Adelbert's Cetuetery at Glen Lyon. Arthur Kullk, aged 22, who was inJured at the Auchincloss colliery on Fridey, died at the Moses Taylor Hospital at Scranton on Sunda; as a result of his injuries. It appears that Kulik was employed as a laborer and that when a miner in an adjoining chamber was about to make a shot he gave the customary signal to Kulik's miner, but the latter failed to Impart the warning to Kulik, with the result that he was struck by a piece of flying coal.

Kullk was to have been married next week. His parents and two brothers resided at Mt. Carmel. The funeral will be held at St. Stanislaus' church to-day at 3.

Another young man to meet his death was Simon, aged 17 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Michloskey of Edwardsville; a door tender at No. 4 mine of the Kingston Coal Co. He was caught by a trip of cars which ran over him, crushing out his life instantly.

His funeral will be held on Thursday with services at the Slavonic church by the pastor. Rev. Father Kudryka. Interment will be made in the Slavonic cemetery. Dennis North, a young resident of Drifton, met with a tragic death while at work at the colliery at that place.

He ran the engine with which the scraper line was operated and in some manner fell in It and was ground to pieces. Yesterday afternoon a serious accident occurred at the Woodward mines of the L. W. Coal when Patrick Price of Westmoor and J. Escavitek of Edwardsville were injured by a fall of top rock.

It appears that the the shaft, when the fall came. Price men were at the foot of the shaft vraiting for a carriage take them up was the more seriously being crushed about the body and also one of his arms. They were removed to their homes. Charged With Larceny Record, Nov. 18.1 Larceny of a $20 bill was the charge preferred against John Dorodosky of Luzerne Borough by George Buzzanas before alderman Ricketts last evening.
