EIGHT CASES PARALYSIS - Three Victims of Infantile Disease in Somerset County Have Died. Infantile Paralysis claimed another young life in this region Sunday.

As a result of the session, a rigid quarantine on all children in the borough for the next two weeks was ordered. All little ones are to be kept on the premises of their parents and all churches, Sunday Schools and other assemblages are to be closed until the quarantine is lifted. The little chap, who died is Coleman Karp, four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. David Karp of Barnesboro. He died at 4 o'clock Sunday morning after three days' illness. The child suffered from what is known as ascending paralysis, which begins in the feet and successive limbs until it reaches the vitals. The child died when the respiratory and cardiac centers in the medulla oblongata were paralyzed, making respiration and heart action impossible. The remains of the child were taken to Johnstown in an auto hearse and were buried in the Hebrew Cemetery at Giestown.

KEAN, Daniel

DEATH OF MR. DANIEL KEAN ~ HE WAS ONE HUNDRED AND ONE YEARS OF AGE AND THE LAST OF SEVERAL BROTHERS. The Oldest Man in Cumberland So Far as Known-A Long List of Relatives Survive. Mr. Daniel Kean, supposed to be the oldest man in this city, died yesterday afternoon at his home on North Centre street after an illness of some weeks, due to his extreme age. Mr. Kean was 101 years of age. He was a native of Ireland and came to this country many years ago. In his active days he followed various employments in this vicinity and for a number of years, in the prosperous days of the C. & O. canal, Mr. Kean worked on Lynn's wharf. After the abandonment of Lynn's wharf he worked for several years on the basin wharf. Some 5 years ago he suffered an injury to one of his limbs in a railroad crossing accident and after, that he was unable to follow any employment. Mr. Kean was injured at the Harrison street crossing of the B. & O. by a shifting engine backing down upon him. Strange as it may seem that only a few hours after his death a woman was killed in very much the same manner as Mr. Kean was hurt on the very next crossing to the scene of Mr. Kean's accident. In his healthy, active days Daniel Kean was an industrious man whose companionship was very entertaining by reason of his jolly manners and steadfast devotion to his friends. He was the last of several brothers, who were well known citizens of this community. They were Messrs. John Kean, Bartholomew Kean, Patrick Kean and Anthony Kean. Mr. Kean leaves one son, Patrick Kean, of Versailles, near McKeesport, Pa., and one daughter, Miss Maria K ean, who resided with her father. He was the uncle of Mayor George A. Kean, superintendent of the Water Works, Thomas S. Kean, and ex-Postmaster Daniel E. Kean, and is survived by a large number of relatives in this vicinity. The funeral of Mr. Kean will take place tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, with requiem mass at St. Patrick's church.

John Kight, of Trotter, Killed Between Cars ~ Fellow Workmen See Accident Impending, but Do Not Realize Its Gravity, - When They Go To Rescue Victim Is Found To Be Dead ~ Coroner To Investigate Caught between an empty and a loaded pit car i the Trotter mines yesterday while perfoming another's uty, John Kight, aged 62 (?52), for 15 years boss driver in the Trotter mines and for about 25 years an employe at the mines, was killed. His abdomen and chest were so crushed that death was instant. When one of the loaded cars that was slowly drifting towards the bottom of the shaft was thrown off the track as the line of cars hit the heavy wire rope that had fallen across the mine track, Kight attempted to get the car back on the track. He hust had taken hold of the car when it was hit by the other cars that drifted slowly in that direction. That contact threw the car against which Kight was pushing, almost half way across the track and crushed him against the side of an empty dcar standing on the adjoining track. Several men, who had worked with Kight for a number of years, were witnesses of the accident, but it hajppened so quickly that they were unable to render assistance., The cars were running so slowly that they did not believe that the crash was sufficient to place the car in the shape that it did. They saw the life crushed out of Kight and went to his assistance immediately. When the cars were lifted to one side, Kight's lifeless body dropped to the ground. A physician was called but his services were not necessary. The remains were removed to Stader's(?) morgue in Connellsville and will be taken to Piedmont, W. Va. for interment. A boy had been employed in the mines to watch the cars in case of an accident such as occurred yesterday, but for some unknown reason Kight did not wait for the boy to perform the duties assigned to him. Coroner Harry J. Bell was notified of Kight's death and after an investigation decided to hold an inquest, the date of which has not been set. The following members of the coroner's jury was selected by Coroner Bell: J. L. Evans, W. F. Shotts, W. J. Baer, H. G. Berlin, J. G. German and I H. Prinker.

KILCOIN, Bartholomew

South Cumberland, Monday ~ Mr. Bartholomew Kilcoin died yesterday at the home of his daughter, Mrs Bernard H. Doll, 92 Elder street, where he had been making his home for several months past. Mr Kilcoin was 85 years of age and was a man well known and much esteemed throughout Allegany county, having resided in this vicinity for more than fifty years. He was born in County Sligo, Ireland, and left his native county to settle in the United States in 1849, coming across the Atlantic. Mr. Kilcoin endured trying experiences of which he often spoke to his associates later in life. The vessel in which he sailed was shipwrecked and he was ten weeks and three days on sea and during the greater part of that time neither he or his companions expected ever to see land again, It was in [the] month of January 1850 when he reached New York. Shortly afterward he came to Cumberland, the farthest point westward reached by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in those days. Mr Kilcoin first found employment upon farms in the Murley Branch Valley and later went to the estate of Mr. John H. Piper at Flintstone, where he remained three years. In March, 1855 he sent to Ireland for his wife and child Luke Kilcoin, who was born during his absence. For several years afterward Mr Kilcoin was employed in the old Flintstone tannery, then in charge of the late Col Charles Gilpin, and upon leaving that industry leased the farm of Dr T. P. Robossoson in that district and spent the remainder of his active days chiefly in agricultural pursuits. In August, 1864, Mr Kilcoin returned to Ireland with his family. He returned to Cumberland in April 1865 and rented the Whalen farm on the Baltimore pike, now the country place of Mr C. L. Bretz, where he remained four years until he purchased the Mrs Farrell farm on the Williams Road where he resided until declining years caused him to retire from active work a few years ago. Mr. Kilcoin was an ardent, enthusiastic Democrat, who never missed casting his ballot at election time, although he never thought of seeking office. His first vote was early in the civil war, when soldiers guarded the polls. Mr.

It is with deepest sorrow we chronicle the death of John Kirby which occurred at East Springfield. O., Oct. 8, 1918. His death was due to typhoid-pneumonia, being sick only ten days. Death is a visitor that will knock at the door of every home sooner or later. To this young man it came just when life was so sweet and promising. It is so sweet to live in this world that God has made so beautiful, to mingle with those we love, but when the voice of "The Father" speaks and says "It is enough", we can only say, "Thy will be done." John was a man of many noble traits of character and one who was devoted to his home. He was very considerate and thoughtful as to the comfort and welfare of his wife and little daughter. He was a member of tho United Brethren Church of East Springfield, and will be missed in the Sabbath School, especially by those of the Men's Bible class of which he was a faithful member. His work is finished, leaving bereaved hearts. He will not only be missed in the home but by his friends and fellow workmen as well. It is one of the mysteries of an all wise Providence, which sometime, somewhere we will understand. One by one, we are passing down the valley, but beyond this vale of tears there is the hope of an eternal home where we will meet the dear ones gone before, and where we shall know as we are known. How sweet the thought, that we shall meet again. Services were held at the home Thursday afternoon at two o'clock, being conducted by his pastor, Rev, Halterman. His body was laid to rest in the village cemetery neath a mound of flowers, which were given by his fellow workmen, friends and Sabbath School as a last tribute of respect to one they loved. John Kirby was born in Frostburg, Md., Jan. 15, 1890.

Killed With a Cat Gun Saturday afternoon at about 3 o'clock James Knatz, a lad of twelve years, living at Lonaconing, was accidentally shot and killed by the premature discharge of a cat gun. The facts are as follows: Knatz and four of his companions were on the farm of Mr. Gordon near the George's Creek and Cumberland Railroad depot playing with a loaded cat gun and in handing it from one to another it discharged and the ball entered the Knatz boy's chest. The unfortunate lad dropped to the earth, and after a few gasps expired. The boy who was passing the gun is named John Hunter, and he is nearly frantic with grief. All of the other boys are likewise stunned at the fatal termination of their hunting expedition and can scarcely be comforted. As the gun was handed around the hammer was raised and the trigger was accidentally touched thus causing the tragedy. The father and mother of the dead boy left for Phill ipsburg, Montana, last Tuesday, and he was placed with his grandfather Adam McMullen, until their return. The funeral took place from the residence of Mr. Adam McMullen this afternoon at 2 o'clock and was largely attended. Rev. L. Carmen Bell officiated.

Md , May 16. — Henry J.Koelker, money order clerk in the Cumberland postoffice, and Edward Koelker, of Connellsvllle, Pa., have started an investigation into the death of their brother, William Koelker, of Westernport, this county. In Washington, D. C., late last month the theory that he'met his death at his own hands is scouted by the brothers. Koelker was found With his throat cut in a Washington hotel. The gash was on the right side of the neck. William Koelker waa right-handed, and the natural thing in a case of suicide, his brothers claim, would have been to star t the gash on the left side. Koelker had $700 when he went to Washington. When he was found there was $1.05 on his person. A signet ring also was missing. T. L. Jeffords, an attorney of Washington, has been engaged by the Koelker family to investigate the case. Edward Koelker has also asked Representative Crago, of Pennsylvania, to assist him in this investigation. May 16, 1912 The Washington Post
