FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAIL-
WAT.—A shocking accident occurred yesterday after-
noon on this line of
.railway at Woolwich, by which
one man was crushed to death under a passenger tram.
About three o'clock one of the contractor's men, named
Michael Barry, was observed walking up the line to-
wards Woolwich station, apparently examining the con-
dition of the permanent way. Arriving near the en-
trance to the tunnel, he saw the 2.30 down train
emerging from it, and stepped immediately on the up-
line, without looking back to see if it was clear, which
unhappily was not the case, for the 2.0
engine driver
up-train from
Gravesend was also coming up. The
blew the alarm whistle as loud as it was poisible, but no
as d
notice was taken by the man, who continued between
