SAM MURRAY'S DEATH SENTENCE Cam-
roUTED—iVOAT EVERYONE IN
GRAVENRUILSTO TALKINE
eitAVENTWAST, Sept. 21, --The many
friends of Sam Murray will be delighted
to learn that he is himself again, and that
after undergoing intense suffering, suoh
as few have experienced. Sam, as every-
one knowe, is a railroader, or rather was
up to the time, two years ago, when he
net with an acoident while engaged in
°opting oars. One hand was °oohed
and he lost several fingers. This was on
September 17111, 1890. For five months
and a half the poor fellow was laid off
work, but his old friends did not desert
him, and many were the kind enquiries
sent from all along the line as 90 how he
WAS getting along. .19.9 last Sam thought
he was able to work and was pit to brake
on a passenger train and ran on the Plea -
ford Mail fat about a month. He was
next ahanged to the Muskoka mixed and
'after a. ehort time was transferred to a
way freight between Gravenhurst and
North Bay, but be failed steadily, like o
man in ooneumption, lost flesh every
day. From nearly 200 pounds he went
down to 140.
On June 19911 lent year he ,finistied one
of his usual runs and that same evening
when taking a walk with a lady he fell on
the sidewalk, where he lay as if dead.
The young lady gave the alarm and Sam
was carried to a aootor'e office. The
doctor sued he hod an attach of AO=
000111 PATIOUE and that if he Wag ever
able to work again it would only be by
taking the utmost; care of himself. But
be recovered to a oertoeu extent and then
had mother attack while taking tu row on
the lake. Then the spelle came upon
him with greater frequency, and while
they lasted he lost all oonsoiousness.
One doctor gave him thirty doys to live,
while another told him he believed he
would haVe sixty days in which to settle
his earthly affairs. This was anything
but gleasant item, and yet Sam's cheery
smile never forsook him. He belongs to
the Brotherhood of Railway Ttainneen,
and of course reeeived his siok benefit
from the G. T. R. At letet four doctors
gave sworn ortificatee that he would
never be able to resume his antes an a
treininan. The Grand Trunk railway
paid him off, and the Intim= Branch
to which he belonged gave him half the
amount os his life humane on mount
of total disability,
The Grand Truulc doctors made several
examinabions ond the oompany gave him
tumoral panes to Toronto to donut with
epeoialists. At last be received 0. ortifie
cote doting that his blood wtus diseased
tend blot he should never attempt to do
Rey work. Like Job, he woo ooverod
With boils.
Sam's positioe is a peoulitte one. In
the hob 911008, the cloisters who ought to
know any that he is unable to work and
never will bo. Their oortitioates to that
effect aro now being considered- by the
supteme authorities of the Brotherhood,
and unless Sam declines to accept his
ineurtmee they will have to pay him.
but on the other hand he is looking for
work, fund says he le as Well en ever he
was. His explanation of his stelaen
recovery is the tolk of the totem os web
as of his comrades of the end. For
months he mild not sleep on beck or
sine neul had to ton what little test he
got by lying on Lis stomach.
