BOY INSTANTLY KILLED George ALDERFER, 17 years old, employed at the flour mills of Wm. Z. KRIEBEL, below Centre Point, this county, was instantly killed on Friday morning by being whirled about the shafting. Mr. KRIEBEL was not present when the accident happened, as ALDERFER was alone in the mill at the time. Shortly after 8 o'clock one of Mr. KRIEBEL's customers entered the mill, when he discovered the body of young ALDERFER being whirled about the shafting. The machinery was stopped, but it was found that the boy was dead. His skull had been crushed and many bones of his body broken. It is believed that while engaged in oiling the shafting his clothing became caught and he was whirled to his death. ALDERFER resided with Mr. KRIEBEL, and had been in his employ for several years. Coroner KANE was notified of the accident and made an investigation. He decided that a coroner's jury was unnecessary. KILLED ON THE RAILROAD Mrs. Mary FRANCIS, aged about 55 years a widow residing at Spring City, while on her way to Royersford Monday morning to do Christmas shopping, in company with her daughter, was killed at the Pennsylvania Station by a fast freight train. The gate watchman had the gates down and caught at the woman and her daughter, but succeeded in stopping only the latter. COASTING ACCIDENT At the juncture of Fifth and Gordon Streets, Allentown, Griffin REINERT, a veteran of the Civil War, met with injuries which resulted in his death several hours later. The hill near there is used by boys in coasting and the crossing is a dangerous one during the coasting season. Shortly after 5.30 o'clock last Thursday evening Mr. REINERT, was on his way home. When he reached the corner there were comparatively few coasters on the hill but when half way across he noticed a big bob sled, occupied by half a dozen youngsters, dashing towards him. According to the boys' story they attempted to steer the sled to one side and claim that REINERT, becoming confused, turned in the same direction. The big sled struck the man squarely, knocking him off his feet. He fell on the icy street, striking his head on the left side. In an unconscious condition he was carried to his home and a physican summoned, but he never regained consciousness, dying the next morning. KILLED ON THE RAILROAD NEAR LANSDALE Miss Florence KERNS, aged 26 years, of Line Lexington, employed as a tailoress at Pool & Company's plant at Lansdale, was killed on Tuesday morning by being struck by the Doylestown train fifty yards above the Lansdale station. The girl had left her home only a short time previous and was on her way to work. Several persons went to Miss KERNS assistance. She was still alive but died before a physician could be summoned. Her skull was fractured and she was badly cut about the body. DEATH CAUSED BY COLD While John F. ROEDER, an aged farmer, was huckstering on the street at Allentown on Thursday morning he was suddenly taken ill, being in a half frozen condition. The old huckster was going from house to house complaining of his ailment and getting various remedies from his customers. He was finally taken with violent fits and vomiting and was removed to the home of an old acquaintance, Miss Mary CARL, who resides at No. 313 North Hall street. Dr. Daniel HIESTAND was hurriedly called who pronounced the old man in a serious condition, suffering from obstruction of the bowels, brought on by exposure. ROEDER lingered until the next morning when he died at 8 o'clock. The deceased is 67 years of age and is survived by his wife, a daughter and several grandchildren. He resides on the road between Vera Cruz and Zionsville, in Upper Milford township, and had been a carpenter at one time. Undertaker STERNER removed the body to his late home the same afternoon.
