side of the platform and the carriages. Several of the car-
riage, pared by without injuring him, but am caught
his lift arm, sad caused a compeued fracture. He was
speedily extricated acid coeveyedto a blooding state to a teat
doss at band, and afterwards, at his own request, takes to
awing-mom Hospital. His Ste was for some time in dan-
ger, and it wee doubted whether his arm would not have to
