MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
John NOTTINGER of Decatur, Ill., Becomes an Edenless Adam.
   Decatur, Ill., Dec. 20 - Special Telegram - John NOTTINGER, had a miraculous escape from death this afternoon at the Norman laundry.  He was leaning over a steam shaft, which was making 300 revolutions a minute.  NOTTINGER's vest caught in a set screw and all his clothing was stripped from his body, leaving nothing but the collar band of the shirt.  NOTTINGER was but slightly hurt.
