How Elias Moore Met his Death Saturday Afternoon. It is Supposed He Was Seized With A Sudden Spell of Giddiness

Elias Moore, aged 73, met with a fatal accident on Saturday at 4:15 pm. He was on the second floor of his residence, 340 Spring Garden Street, when he started to come down stairs he fell down the entire flight of 12 stairs. There was no one in the house, but his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lies J Moore had just come in and heard the noise. She hurried to assist Mr. Moore, but discovered he was seriously injured, when she called a neighbor to summon a doctor. Dr. J C Knauer responded and upon examination found that Mr. Moore had received a severe gash across the left temple, extending into the eye, which caused the latter to discharge. He remained unconscious until 8:15pm when he expired. Mr. Moore served in the War and had been receiving a pension for some time on account of an affection of the sight and spells of giddiness, which he contracted while in the Army. It is believed that one of these spells came upon him just as he was at the head of the stairs. On Saturday he received his pension.

The following children survive: Mrs. John Kraft, Mrs. Aug. Schlachter, Charles, Frank and Lies J Moore.

Muthart, Henry

Crushed to Death
Henry Muthart Killed In Thalheimer's Sand Quarry
His Body Badly Disfigured - Had Only Been Working There A Few Hours

Henry Muthart was crushed to death at 10:30 a.m. in the sand quarry on the land of A. Thalheimer, near 14th and Oley Sts, operated by John Rhoads. Muthart had just commenced work there 2 hours before, and commenced digging under a heavy bank of sand, which had evidently been considerably loosened by the recent rains. Five other men were also working in the quarry but not near the bank. The latter suddenly caved in, and about 10 tons of sand fell on the unfortunate man burying him and his wheel-barrow over 4 feet deep. A long embankment about 12 feet high had fallen down and the exact spot where he was covered was not known. It required 1 1/2 hours work to dig him out. He was found dead, pressed down over the handles of the wheelbarrow, with the back part of his head crushed in, and his left arm twisted and broken. He was taken out and laid in the same excavation with his face downward and his head covered with his coat, vest, and liat, and the coroner sent for, who held an inquest this afternoon.

Muthard was 51 year years old, and the father of 7 children, all sons, but he did not live with his family. His wife died some time ago and he boarded at John Beadencup's, 637 Birch St. Some years ago Muthart worked at the Reading iron company's steam forge and made good wages.

After the body had been recovered the men resumed work, one screening sharp sand that had been dug up in recovering the body, while others hauled sand from tunnels several feet long.
