Kinney Recovering in Hornell From Effect of Terrible Railroad Accident. John F. Kinney, formerly of 1120 Main Street, this city and employed as fire man and emergency engineer on the Lackawanna Railroad, and who moved with his family to Hornell about one month ago, probably has about as har rowing a tale to tell of misfortune and hair-breadth escapes as any hero in a dime novel. Some four or five months ago Mr. Kinney was suddenly called away from his sick wife to take his place as fireman on train No.

5, the New York limited from New York to Buffalo. He had premonitions of evil and demurred, but his pleadings were in vain and he started on the trip. 'All went well until the train was nearing Looneyville, about 14 miles west of Buffalo, when suddenly the lire box blew out and there was a deafening roar. Mr. Kinney was struck full in the chest by a molten mass and was sent hurling to the back of the tender, where he clung until the train could be Btopped.

Mr. Kinney was assisted into the baggage car, where he was found to be In a horrible condition. Nearly every particle of skin on his body had been burned off and when the few remaining pieces of clothing were removed they brought off more skin. Acceding to his demands, Kinney was carried to his home, where a consultation of doctors was called and it was decided that he could not live. They worked over him for four months, however, and Mr.

Kinney still lives. Following bis recovery he was appointed collector for the Elmira lodge, B. of L. F. Jn August however, he concluded to resign his position and run a small hotel in Hornell.

He is now do ing extremely well for a man in his physical condition. The Hornell Times Saturday published a long article regarding Mr. Kinney from which these facts were taken. BIG DEFAULTER. Augusta, Sept.

Watkins, Sept. 17. Waen G. Elliott of Baltimore, president of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, died at the Glen Springs Sanitarium here today. 5 English Admiral Who -Took Sides With Dewey Passes Away GlBralfar," Sept." 17- Rear A3mTral 6Ir Edward Chichester, who command ed the British squadron at Manila dur ing the Spanish-American war, died here today of pneumonia, after an illness of a few days.

Rear Admiral Chichester was chief of the sea-transport service during the South African war. His work in transporting: a quar ter of a million men five thousand miles to South Africa won him great praise. It was Sir Edward Chichester, who, according to report "stood by" the Americans in Manila Bay at a time when friction between Admiral Dewey and the German commander seemed likely to lead to serious consequences. One account of the affair, orinted in a London paper, said that "When th American and German eets were grin ning defiance at each other in parallel lines, their decks cleared for action. Captain Chichester stolidly steered the British squadron between them, giving Indeed an exhibition of calmness, tact and nautical good humor that probably saved a battle which would have resulted in disaster to the peace of the world."
