A LIVERPOOL ARCHITECT AND HIS WIPE

KILLED.

----•
Two more victims have been added to those who
have already lost their lives at the level Grossing of the
Liverpool and Manchester Railway at Breed-green. On
Saterd.,y evening, Mr. William Greeo, of the firm of
Green and Paislow, architects, of this town, and who re-
sides in Church-road. Stanley, had gone with his wife to
the Breed-green station, foe the purpose of proceeding to
Warrington by the train which leaves the Lime-street
station, at half-post 8 o'clock. Mr. Green had gone
into the booking-office for the purpose of procuring tickets,
and, whilst waiting for some change altar receiving them,
he heard a tra:n approaching, when he rushed out of the
biking-office,ontothest .tion,:n order, as it is conjectured,
to protect his wife, who, he feared, might be crossing the
fins. He found her doing co, and immediately ran on the
knehlunself to recover her from it, but whilst so engaged,
the train, which was • luggage train nom Liverpool, and
which was proceeding at the rate et upwards of 20 males an
hour, suddenly came up, the engine knock:ns down both
Mr. Greer, and his wife. Wben the train hail gone past, the
station-keeper went aloes the lien with a lantern, and found
lin. Green about 20 or 30 yards along .hel,ent, havingbeen
driven that distance by the force a the engine. She was
fend to have received sad injuries, more especially about
the bead and shoulders, which were shockingly bruised,
sad one of her feet bad been torn off. She was eo tseyed
to the booking-office at the station in an insensible state,
aid attended by fir. Han, surgeon, bet she only survived
for about an hour. A iurther search was made for Kr.
Green, and, ultimately, the body o the unfortunate gentle-
man was found, about thre--quarters of a mile from the
station, near Roby, most tl-eadfully mutilated, and it
appean that be must have been caught on into the fire-
box, for when discovered lying oft the siz.foot way between
the two lines of rails, he presented a shocking spectacle,
being frightfully burnt about the headard face, in addition
ti the injur:es which be had o•berwise received, and his
feet appeared to have been burnt off. He must have been
nablY injured as he was carried a'ong the line, for yester-
02Y morning, after daylight, several portions on his flesh
were found lying along the line, and we understand that his
ipzi watch veal also found on the line, about half a mile
nem the station. Both the bodies wens removed to the
fey Hotel, Broad-green, where an inquest will be held
lima them by the county coroner to-day. Mr. and Mrs.
Grin, who were 23 years of age each, had only been
Ituried about two months. Mr. Green was a young
kW architect of considerable promise, and amongst the
buildings on which he was engaged at the time of his
1141148161 y death, was the new Wesleyan chapel now
eseting in Derby-lane, Old Swan. The signalman at the
wrens Sates that beadle,' out to Mrs. Green not to cross
:Ili" as the train was coming up, but he thinks she
".,1 not hear him. This is the third fatal accident which
t" happened at the Broad-green level-erasing daring the
eight months. It is to be hoped that after the depior-
tk trEfiedY of Saturday night the railway company

teroner::ntig when the last similar fatality took
