You've LADY KILLED gY RAILROAD Can.
"A young lady, yesterday, standing on the Bath
track, at Brunswick, waiting for the hennebec
train to pass, was killed Immediately, by the
Bath train backing over her. The whole train
passed over her, except the engine. Her name
was Lincoln, the daughter of widow Lincoln, of
Brunswick, about eighteen years old, and very
beautiful. Her body was horribly mangled.
We are indebted to Mr. Daniel G. Mower, of the
Eastern express, for this sad information. There
was another lady standing with Miss Lincoln,
but she saw the train in time to escape. These
repeated accidents should prove lesson to peo-
pie to keep off the railroad tracks.--Por!iand
