A MAN CUT TO PlECES.—Daring the heavy storm of
Thursday night the following frightful accident occurred
on the Great Northern Railway, within half a mile of the
Peterborough station. About half-past eight, whilst the
wind was blowing a hurricane, a foreman of the "fitters"
was, with a companion, returning home along the line,
when they were met by an up goods train, and deceased
was driven by the wind before the train, which knocked
him down, and passed over his body, mutilating it in a
shocking manner.
