piece of plate he cut his throat severely, nearly sevariog

Dr. Bailer wu soon brought to the scene, and although he

died. His wife and daughter were not seriously Injured.

train, due at Burntialend from the north abort eight
o'clock, when the engine which drove that train could be
detached for the service of the other. After a tedious
