A TERRIBLE casualty occurred at the new
Union Depot yesterday afternoon at three
O'Clock, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer of
Wednesday, whereby man between forty
and fifty years OF age, who had arrived a
short time before from Toledo, en- route for
Boston, was instantly killed. He was walk
ing in the depot, between a couple of rail-
way tracks, at the moment that a train was
being slowly backed up. The only person
who witnessed the accident says that the
man trotted by the side of the train a short
distance, and then threw himself ..nder the
baggage car, between the forward and rear
trucks, and was literally torn in pieces.
The tender of the engine and baggage car
were thrown from the track. If the facts
are as stated by this eyewitness, it would
seem that the man committed suicide. The
mangled remains were gathered up and
placed in one of the baggage rooms. They
were subsequently, removed to the under
takers for interment. The Coroner was
sent for, but he deemed 1t unnecessary to
hold an inquest. Nothing whatever could
be discovered upon his person by which he
could possibly be identified. He had $267.sO
in moneyLtwo one hundred dollar bills,
one fifty, and the remainder in small bills
and scrip. A cheap silver watch was also
found upon him. He was from forty-five
to fifty years of age, about five feet nine
inches in hight, and had dark hair, chin
whiskers and mustache. all slightly mixed
with gray. He had on dark. cashmere
pants, light vest, black thick coat, new
'sswed boots, and new straw hat. The two
latter, together with the yaluables, were
taken in charge by the coroner. He had no
baggage with him, salthougtin his pocket
was found q key belonging to a carpet-bag.
Upon his rightarm was an indistinct figure
In India ink. No possible blame can be-
attached TO the railroad men. sg5.esrs1, 80
