HENRY MOORE FATALLY INJURED IN ACCIDENT
Former Resident Meets With Accident at Clyde, Pa. --Little Hope for Recovery
John Johnston, of Eighth street, received a telegraph message last evening that his brother-in-law, Henry Moore, in the employ of Contractor NcNally, had been perhaps fatally injured at Clyde, Pa., Monday morning. The nature of the accident was not stated.
Moore is well known in this city having resigned a position as motorman on the local street car line to accept employment with the railroad contractors. One year ago he was injured by a premature discharge of dynamite while assisting in setting off a heavy blast, which sent him to the hospital for several weeks.
This latest accident is believed to be more serious than the first and the relatives in this city have been notified to prepare for the worst. Moore has three sisters here, Mrs. Jess Knowles, of Chester, Mrs. George Lowers of Trentvale street, and Mrs. John Johnston, of Eighth street. He was a motorman on the local line for several years and is very well known. Further particulars relative to his condition were not obtainable at a late hour last night.
Two dispatches were received from Clyde but neither contained any details as to the nature of the accident. Unless later encouraging reports are received as to the victim's condition local relatives will go to Clyde this morning.

ENDS 45 YEARS WORK AS POTTER
James Massey Retires From Active Employment in the Trade
After serving for 45 years as a potter James Massey of Seventh street, resigned his position in the Sevres pottery, where he was employed as a jiggerman Tuesday, the 61st anniversary of his birthday. Mr. Massey came to East Liverpool 26 years ago from, Burslem, England, and has been employed here ever since.
Mr. Massey's life has not been spent as a pottery employe alone, although he entered that industry at the age of seven years. When 18 years of age he enlisted in the British navy and for eight years and nine months he was one of John Dull's Tars. During that time he visited nearly every naval port in the world and was in China and Japan on two different occasions.
Returning to his home in England at the age of 27 years he resumed his trade as potter and worked there until coming to the United States. Since coming to East Liverpool he has been almost steadily employed, with hardly the loss of a day. On arriving at his 61st birthday he concluded that he was entitled to retire and consequently resigned his position.
On Tuesday evening a number of his fellow workmen a the Sevres pottery and others of his numerous friends surprised him at his Seventh street home and presented him a fine pipe and other tokens of their esteem and regard.
Although he frankly confesses to being 61 years old Mr. Massey's stalwart bearing belies his age, for he is apparently as hale and hearty as many men 10 to 20 years his junior. He says that he intends to spend the remainder of his days in this city because he regards East Liverpool as his home. Hale and weather-beaten veteran that he is, there is no diminishing of his enthusiasm when he recounts his experience as a youth before the mast in the service of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, and under the Union Jack.

HALE AND HEARTY AT 70 YEARS OF AGE (Levi Hamilton)

HALE AND HEARTY AT 70 YEARS OF AGE
Levi Hamilton Talks Interestingly of His Experiences During the Civil War.
There is not a heartier or more active man over 50 years of age in East End than Levi Hamilton, of Locust street, who will celebrate the 70th anniversary of his birthday next November. Mr. Hamilton was a member of Company I, 140th Pennsylvania volunteers, in the civil war and was in the service for three years, lacking ten days. Although time has turned his locks and beard from black to grey he still possesses an amazing amount of physical strength and vivacity. He was at the battle of Gettysburg, where Colonel Roberts of his regiment was killed.
An increase in pension form $8 to $20 a month was recently granted Mr. Hamilton in recognition of his valuable services in the Federal Army. He shows few of the infirmities that usually affect men of his age, and is apparently as strong and healthy as most men 20 years his junior.
Before he entered the army Mr. Hamilton was a resident of Greene county, Indiana, and for a number of years operated a horse-power sawing outfit with which he sawed wood for the wood-burning locomotives used on the railroad at that period. When his outfit had completed a job of sawing a number of ricks of wood at one station, located alongside the track, where the engineer and fireman could easily load it on their tender, the outfit would be placed on a flat car and taken to another station where another job would be finished up.
Mr. Hamilton received $2.50 a day for his services in this work, which was considered good pay at that time. The sawing outfit was operated by a horse which walked on a treadmill. Later he removed to Pennsylvania, where he was living a the time he enlisted in the army.
