Fireman Killed at Cresson 

  Joseph W. Clark, aged twenty-two years, and unmarried, of Altoona, 
was killed at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning in the yards of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad company at Cresson.
  The young man had been in the employ of the company but eleven months 
and was a fireman.
  Mr. Clark was looking in the opposite direction for signals when he 
struck the back of his head on a steel coal car which was standing on a 
siding.  His skull was crushed and death resulted a few minutes later.
