JOHNSTOWN, PA 1896
Tuesday, 18 Feb 1896
William Huber, one of the best-known residents of Bradock and since 1875 foreman of the machine shop at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, died at his home on Rebecca street, North Braddock yesterday afternoon. He was born in Austria fifty-seven years ago and, coming to this country, took up his residence at Braddock in 1874. He leaves a wife and three sons and four daughters, all of whom have reached maturity. Mrs. S. S. Price, of Fairfield avenue, Morrellville, was soliciting aide in Johnstown yesterday for the bereaved widows and orphans of the fifty-seven miners killed in Tuylston Colliery, South Wales, a couple of weeks ago. We learn that the contributions secured were quite generous, but Mrs. Price is not yet satisfied with the total amount, and will call on other friends of the helpless in a few days, and when the work is completed she will publish the list of the contributors and forward the money to the unfortunates for whom it is intented. Mrs. Susan Fulmar, of Locust and Market streets, who on Saturday preferred a charge of larceny against Nimrod McElcar before Alderman Maloy failed to appear at the time set for the hearing to-day, and the case was dismissed, the costs being placed on the prosecutrix. Mrs. Fulmer alleged that Joe Isenberg who drives one of McElcar's teams carried away from her home a clothes wringer with a load of ashes. The driver says the wringer was an old worn-out one, buried in the barrel of ashes, and he thought it had been thrown away. The many friends of Court Crier Jones Rollins. of Hollidaysburg, will regret to learn that he is confined to his home and is in a critical condition, suffering from the effects of nervous prostration.

THROWN FROM A WAGON. Samuel Gindlesperger, of Hooversville,
Hurt Last Night. Samuel Gindlesperger, aged about thirty-five years, who lives at Hooversville, Somerset County, had a narrow escape from being killed while on his way home overland last night from Holsopple, where he had been on a business trip. He was driving down the hill at Dull, when his wagon began to slide. He put on brakes, but this did not seem to have any effect. A sudden jolt of the wagon threw Mr. Gindlesperger out, and the hourses started to run, dragging him about a quarter of a mile. Finally he succeeded in bringing the team to a standstill, but could not get back into the wagon. About 10 o'clock John Hahn and Calvin Berkebile, of Johnstown, happened to pass along in a buggy and found Mr. Gindlesperger lying on the road in an almost helpless condition. One of the men took charge of the driver and the other his team, and about 11 o'clock the party arrived at Hooversville. Dr. I. C. Harlot, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company's physician, who resides in Hooversville, was summoned. He found the flesh below Mr. Gindlesperger's eyes badly torn and his check, on which he had been dragged, bruised and lacerated. He was resting very well today, however, and it is thought his injuries are not serious.

When P.R.R. engine No. 1,188 stopped at Conemaugh tipple for coal last night Fireman J. M. Schroll met with an accident which will disable him for work for some time. He was on the tender of his engine, and the coal schute, while being lowered, struck him and knocked him to the track. He sustained a cut on the back of his head and contusions on his legs, the muscles of his abdomen and back being considerably strained. Dr. Martin, of Conemaugh, attended him and he was taken to his home on East Line - No. 4. He is unmarried and lives in Altoona.
Mr. Joseph Martz of Richland Township who has been suffering for over a year with cancer in the face, is growing gradually worse, and his death is looked for at almost any time. A report which was current to-day that he had died this morning was untrue. He was still living at a late hour this afternoon, but very low.
