FATAL ACCIDENT. - Mich'l. McMartin, one of the hands connected with the 
foundry of the P.R.R. Co. at Altoona, was instantly killed on Wednesday 
of this week while in company with several others, hoisting a heavy 
piece of metal.  The crane fell, mangling the body of Mr. McMartin 
fearfully.  He leaves a wife and five children to mourn their loss.
