Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, November 27, 1903 Buried in Same Grave Unknown Man Was Responsible for Fatal Fire at Lilly Johnstown Pa., Nov. 24-—In one large trench in St. Bridget’s cemetery, Lilly, were buried 21 Italians who were burned to death in the shanty at the construction camp of McMenamin & Sims, Saturday morning, together with the bodies of the two men who died at the Memorial hospital from the effects of burns. A short service was held at the grave. Three of the men in the hospital are in a very serious condition and their death is said to be only a matter of hours. Coroner Miller’s inquest brought out the fact that the death of the men were due to the action of an unknown man who tried to save from the flames a large cot and mattress. When he reached the door there was a large number of men immediately behind him. The rush caused the cot to jam in the door and no one was able to pass. Witnesses testified that some of the foreigners tried to pull the cot away but failed. The origin of the fire will probably never be learned.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, November 20, 1903 Fireman Fatally Injured Altoona, Pa., Nov. 18—The homes of William Young, Casper Hemmeker, James Rockly and Louis Baker were entirely destroyed by fire caused by a lamp exploding in Young’s house. Fireman James Brown was perhaps fatally hurt by a falling ladder. Loss, $10,000. Two Killed in a Railroad Accident Two engines running on the Cambria & Clearfield Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad ran together at Bradley’s Junction in a fog at 5:30 o’clock last Saturday morning. The collision resulted in both locomotives being badly wrecked and in the deaths of Fireman A. M. Weakland of No. 1917 Eleventh avenue, Altoona, and Brakeman Bert Eberly of Cresson and injury to Engineer J. Hayes Buck of No. M., Washington avenue, Engineer V. A. Quartz of Cresson and Fireman Faber Kaylor of Cresson. The collision was an outcome of a misunderstanding of orders and would likely have been averted only for the heavy fog which hung over the tracks. Engine No. 192 which was hauling a train to Cresson, played out and Engineer Buck and Fireman Weakland were running it to the shops for repairs. Engine 1639 in charge of Engineer Quartz and Fireman Kaylor and carrying Bert Eberly, a brakeman, to fill out the train crew was sent out from Cresson to replace the No. 192. The accident was reported to Cresson and a train was dispatched to carry the dead and injured to that place. Buck was taken to the hospital at Altoona while Quartz and Kaylor went to their homes at Cresson. Anthony W. Weakland was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Weakland of near Hastings, Cambria county. He was aged twenty-three years and for a year past had resided on Eleventh avenue, Altoona. Besides his parents he is survived by his wife and one daughter, Emelda, and three brothers--Gilbert and Frank of Pittsburg and Henry of Altoona. The remains were prepared for burial by Undertaker Lynch and interment was made on Monday at Hastings. Bert Eberly was aged twenty-three years and was a native of Loretto. He was married about a month ago to a young lady of Loretto who survives him as do also his parents. The remains were buried at Loretto. This wreck has attracted a great deal of attention among railroad men as it possessed many remarkable features. Both engines were Class H engines, both were running light and about the same rate of speed. Neither engine left the track. The railroad where they struck was forced down over a foot. The pony wheels on both were ground into fragments. The two engines were stripped clean of all fixtures, and so tightly were they wedged together that it took six engines to pull them apart. _________________________________________________________________ Be the filmmaker you always wanted to be—learn how to burn a DVD with Windows®. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/108588797/direct/01/

Murder in Johnstown Peter Maltzie of the Ninth Ward, Johnstown, aged about 82 years, Thursday morning about 2:30 o’clock killed his son, also named Peter, about 40 years of age, with a heavy cane. It seems that the son had not been living at home for some time. Wednesday night he came around the house and his father stated this morning at the station, taking compassion on him, he (the father) allowed him to come in and sleep on a settee in the sitting room. It is presumed that trouble arose and that the old man, becoming enraged, struck his son with his heavy cane. Then it is supposed the old man dragged the unconscious body of his offspring to the rear door and out into the yard. The old man was taken to the police station. He admitted the killing.
