FATAL ACCIDENT.

  Albert Thompson, son of Moses Thompson, who resides near the school 
house at the last bridge on the road going up to Wapsononock, in Logan 
township, was killed at Perry's water mill, Dean township, Cambria 
county on Tuesday.  He was in the employ of Mr. Joseph Vanormer, who is 
extensively engaged in the logging business, and while cutting logs was 
struck by a tree felled by another workman and crushed to death.  He 
was cutting down at tree, which fell and lodged.  In his efforts to get 
out of the way he ran directly under the trunk, which had been pushed 
to one side.  His remains were taken to his father's residence 
yesterday, from whence the interment will take place today.
