FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT

On Wednesday a deplorable accident., in connection with
the Derby race, occurred at the London-bridge terminus
of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. by
which Mr. Charles Garnar, a zincworker, carrying
,on
business in Queen-street, Cheapside, and residing at NO.
2, Royal-hill, Greenwich, lost his life in a shocking man-
ner. As usual on a Derby day, the number of persons
travelling by the company's line to Epsom was very great,
and between 10 and 12 o'clock especially the demand for
accommodation was almost overwhelming. The deceased
and a friend were, among some 40 or 50 persons, left behind
on the platform after the departure of a train. The train
by which they were about to travel was being run into the
station shortly before 12 to take up its freight of passen-
gers, when the crowd on the platform, in their eagerness to
take possession of it, caught hold of the door-handles and
windows and followed it as it ran in. By this act of
temerity the deceased lost his life. While the train was
in motion he grasped the handle of a carriage door, in
the struggle for places, but, losing his hold, he fell or was
drawn in between the train and the platform, and fear-
fully crushed or lacerated. Be was taken on a stretcher
to Guy's Ho.pital, in the immediate vicinity of the station
where Mr. Valentine, the house surgeon. and Mr. Skin-
ner, another professional gentleman connected with the
establishment, promptly attended him. Amorg oth-r
injuries he was found to have sustained a comminuted
fracture of the left thigh, together with a severe lacera-
tion exposing the muscles of the leg from the shin nearly
to the hip, a compound fracture of the upper jaw. He
died shortly before three o'clock, retaining his conscious-
ness to the last.
