A TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACcIDENT-A WE'LL
KNOWN CITIZEN INSTANTLY KILLED.-A pleasure
excursion, at the Fish House, on the jersey side
OF the Delaware yesterday afternoon, met with
a deplorable accident. A number OF gentlemen
OF thle city lett yesterday morning for q days
pastime at that celebrated locality. After the
days sport terminated, they repaired to the
railway station to await the arrival of the tram
ior TINS city. This was delay 1t was not in
time, and Mr.. John +. Deal, one OF the party,
was walking on the side of the track, when V An
knks Line, on the Camden and Amboy Road,
came numbering past. This train, it seems, did
not take passengers aboard at the station. Mr..
Deal did not appear to pay any attention TO the
tram. The whistle was sounded, but it was too
late; the locomotive had struck him, and hurled
MIN into deep cut by the side of the road. At
almost the same time the train from Philadel-
phia ior New York passed up, and the two trains
created momentary confusion. When the eX-
cltement died away, MIR. Deal was found lying
in the cut, dead.
The body was placed on board the down train
and brought to Camden, where Coroner Roberts
held an inquest. number of witnesses we're
examined, amongst whom were the lowing:-
BENJAMIN Jones, Ralph Vanklrk, Charles r.
OdlllshIy lie w llhluSOu, 16uIy heuuGuy, IOWbll
Clayton, and John s. Stairs. The evidence
elected before the Coroner's jury brought out
the facts as narrated above.
DR.. Cullen, OF Camden, held a poSt-nortem
examination OF the body. He testified that there
were two slight cuts upon the temple and two
abrasions upon the left cheek of the deceased
These were the only outward marks of the colli-
sion. he found, however, that all the ribs on
the left side were more or less broken. There
were other internal wounds, any of which were
sufficient to cause death The doctor stated that
the gentleman had not been run over, but it was
evident that the coW-catcher of the locomotive
had first struck his ankle and caused him to tall
against the side of the engine which, going at
a rapid speed, hurled hlm into the cut on the
road side.
One of the witnesses testified that he heard a
whistle sound previous to the time the accident
occurred, but he could not tell whether 1t was
from the train coming down or the one going
up. All those examined testified to the train
going at rapid rate. The Coroner, at halt-past
8 O'Clock last evening, adjourned the inquest
until this evening, when other witnesses Will be
examined.
The body of the unfortunate man was sur
rendered to his friends last night. Mr.. Deal
