  A Death at the Hospital.
  
    James McDonnell, who was admitted to the hospital on Monday, the 6th 
  inst., suffering from a crush of the left leg, requiring amputation, a 
  severe lacerated wound of the right arm and internal injuries the 
  nature of which were not known at the time, died at half-past 10 
  o'clock yesterday morning.  Several days ago his condition changed for 
  the worse and he continued to sink rapidly until the end came.  He was 
  a Catholic in religion and the rites of the church were administered to 
  him before he lost consciousness.  The man was 23 years of age and at 
  the time of the accident was employed by the contractors who are 
  grading in the vicinity of the Gallitzin tunnel.  On the day in 
  question he was thrown in front of a car which jumped the track and 
  sustained the injuries resulting in his death.  He came to this section 
  from Dunmore, Lackawanna county, where his parents reside.  The remains 
  were given in charge of Undertaker B. J. Lynch, who prepared the body 
  for burial and sent it to Dunmore on the 6.20 train last evening.  The 
  body was in charge of a brother, who was present when he died.
