Engineer Killed.

Engineer Killed.
On Monday morning last, Benz AMIN BARRETT,
who was an engineer on tue Dayton and Michigan
Railroad, met with sudden and violent death about
one mile and half north of Belmore He was
running the engine of the passenger train, which
left Toledo at 2:40 Monday morning. At the point
above indicated three trees near the road had been
blown down by the Storm one of which had fallen
upon the track, broken limb of which protruded
in such manner as to tear out the entire side OF
the cab striking the engineer and throwing him with
terrible force the tender aud against the bag
gage car. The fireman, knowing not what had be-
come of the engineer, Immediately sprang to the
engine, whistlcd down breaks reversed the
tion and soon brought the train to a dead halt.
He called for the engineer several times, and re-
ceiving no answer, search was instituted, when
his almost lfeless body was found on the steps of
the bagg age car. Some twenty five minutes
elapsed before the deceased breathed his last dur
ing which time, however, he was wholly uncon-
scious. The supposton of the fireman is that the
tree fell at the instant that the accident occurred
But few outward bruises were visible upon the de-
ceased, and not one of these appeared sufficient to
cause death. One of his eyes was slightly bruised
he had small scratch on the cheek; cut on the
hand about an inch in length the side of his neck
had the appearance of being scraped, but the skin
was not broken on the small of his back lump
protruded which was very soft to the touch, as
though filed with watsry substance. This was
supposed by the physician to be filled with the fluid
from the spinal column, and to have been the i'm
mediate cause of his death.
The deceased lived in Lima, where he had wife
and five children, who now mourn the loss of a
husband, father and protector.
