LONG, George

It is with feelings of profound sorrow that we announce the death of Mr. George Long, which sad event took place at the residence, No. 15 North Mechanic street, at 8 o’clock last evening. His death was one of those sudden and calamitous strokes which appall, while they bring sorrow. On Tuesday morning Mr. Long was quite in his usual health and was cheerful, attending to his business with a sprightliness that gave no token of the impending evil. In the morning about 7 o’clock he went to market and returning home, eat[sic] his breakfast with a good appetite. Between 9 and 10 o’clock he went to the barber and was shaved, preserving in the meantime the same cheerful and happy spirit. About 11 o’clock the same morning he was taken suddenly with agonizing pains that were distressing to witness. Medical aid was at once summoned, and it was ascertained that he was afflicted with strangulation of the intestines. Every means was taken that medical surgical intelligence could supply, but his sufferings continued through the day and succeeding night, and through yesterday morning. Relief was partially afforded in the evening, but the physician gave no room to hope for his recovery. His sufferings where only terminated by death, which kindly came at the hour above stated.  The deceased was a merchant of this city, extensively engaged in the baking and confectionery business, having a handsome trade and enjoying the confidence of the people. He was born in Ansfeld, near Hensfort, Bavaria, and came to this country in the year 1850 and settled at Wellersburg, Pa, where he remained a short while, and subsequently came to Allegany county.  He had been a resident of Cumberland twenty-seven years at the time of his death. He was a member of Sts. Peter and Paul’s German Catholic church, and also a member of Sts. Peter and Paul's and the German Union Beneficial Societies of this city.  Mr. Long was in his 47th year, having been born on the 10th of March, 1832. He leaves a widow and seven children to mourn their irreparable loss.  The funeral cortege will leave the residence on North Mechanic street at half-past nine o’clock tomorrow (Friday) morning, and the  obsequies will take place at Sts. Peter and Paul church at 10 o’clock a.m. We extend to the sorrowing family our sincere condolence in this hour of their bereavement.

LOTZ, Frank

(see "Miners' Recollections" Frank Lotz )

HURLED TO INSTANT DEATH.
Frank Lutz[sic] Killed at Mt. Savage Yesterday Afternoon - Four Companions Badly Injured.
Yesterday evening five young men, employees of the Union Mining company, whose names are J.[sic] Lutz[sic], Ed. Black[sic], Samuel Reeser, John Gleim and William Lammert[sic], mounted three hoppers laden with clay, just as they were starting down the plane to the brick yard. When nearing the foot of the plane, the wire cable to which the cars were attached parted, and they leaped forward with renewed speed. Finally they jumped the track, carrying with them the young men, who were buried in the wreck which followed. Young Lutz, when reached by a party of rescuers, was found quite dead, and Kline[sic] and Reeser were seriously injured and Black[sic] and Lammert[sic] badly bruised and shaken up.

A special to the Times from Mt. Savage states:
About 4:30 yesterday evening, Ed. Blank, aged about 35; Wm. Sourbrine, aged 12; Wm. Reeser, age 19; Frank Lutz[sic], aged 15; Jno. Gleim, age 12, and Wm Lemmert, age 16, were returning from work at the Fire Clay mines of the Union Mining company, and rode down the incline on the loaded cars. When near the bottom, the cable broke. The train ran a short distance at high speed, when it left the track and jumped over an embankment. Sourbrine and Blank got off when the cable broke, and only got a few scratches, etc. The others staid[sic] on and were hurled off when the cars left the track. Lutz[sic] was thrown up in the air and landed against a stone, instantly killing him; the back of his head was crushed in, brains dashed out, bones broken and body badly cut. William Reeser, seriously injured; two cuts in head (scalp) and fears of internal injuries; dangerous[italic], but may[italic] recover. William Lemmert, badly cut about the head, but no fears of not recovering. John Gleim, head and body bruised, and tongue nearly cut in two, All were employed in the Clay mines. Gleim has been especially unfortunate of late, and was badly burned by the explosion of powder some time ago, then had both arms broken. His father was killed by being run over by the cars on the incline in March last. The injured were somewhat better this morning and resting quietly. Reeser is the most seriously injured, but may get well. The other two are not so bad and will recover. Reeser is from Sandy Hook, the rest live here. The cars were broken and the track was badly torn up. The plane is one of the longest in the country, being 1½ miles in length and worked by wire cable.
