FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAIL..
WAY.—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 train.
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 up-train from
Gravesend was also coming up.. The eogme-driver
blew the alarm whistle as loud as it was possible, but no
notice was taken by the man, who continued between
the rails with his eyes fixed on the approaching down-
train. In a few moments the poor fellow was struck
down and the entire train passed over his body. When
picked up life was found to be quite extinct, both legs
were severed from the body, w hichhaswlaenft

shockingly disfigured. The deceased
large family destitute.
