FATAL PASTIME ON A RAILWAT.—The Yorkshire
Gaulle reports the death of a labouring man named William
Taylor, which was caused on ths Church Fenton and Miro-
gate Branch of the York and North Midland Railway. The
deceased, who was 35 vearsuf age, was at work, along with
a rung man of the name of Russell, alma a labourer, on the
sidle of the line of railway, between 5 and 6 o'clock in the
evening of Tuesday last, when he observed a hare coming
along the railway, in a direction towards Harrogate, and
having directed the attention of his fellow-workman to the
fact, he immediately ran off after it, Russell following him,
but taking the precaution to keep outside the ram, which
Taylor neglected to do. While they wets running in this
way a ballast engine was coming in the contrary direction,
and turned the hare back towards its pursuers. Just as the
engine approached them, Taylor took up a stone, which he
was in the act of throwing at the hare, when it is supposed
he caught his foot against one of the rail., and being thus
overbalanced, fell forward with his left aide against the en-
gine, the buffer plank of which struck bim and threw him
over on to the opposite line of railway. The engine was
running at a speed of not more than twelve miles an hour,
and was brought to a stand within thirty yards of the spot
...here the accident happened, but the poor fellow was all
but killed upon the spot. Five of his ribs were fractured,
one of them wounding the lung. His head and one of his
feet were lacerated but slightly. He was taken to York
hospital as soon as woo possible, but died upon his arrival at
the institution. An inquest was held on view of the body
of the deceased, at the County Hospital, on Wednesday
evening, before J. P. Wood, Esq.. deputy coroner, when
the above facts were proved, whereupon the jury found
that the deceased had been accidentally killed.
WATERFORD AND T RAMOSE ItAILWAY.—The
general half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
their offices in Dublin on Friday, Sir James Dombraus
in
the chair. The line has only recently been opened for
traffic, and the accounts could therefore show nothing yet
on the credit side in the shape of revenue. The prospects,
of the line, at least for the summer half year, are described
as being most satisfactory. The line has been constructed
for the original estimate, and the works are of • most etb-
st ant ial character. The directors' report was unatumernaly
adopted.
