A MAN KILLED.-Yesterday morning
as the fast line on the Baltimore anC
Ohio railroad was coming this way
from the east, an old man by the name
of Emsley was standing on the main
track, a short distance below Richie,
town, beside the freight engine, which
was on the switch, waiting for the fast
line to pass. 1t is supposed he did not
hear the train coming, owing to the
noise made by the other engine. and
before the train could be checked up, he
was thrown off the track by the cow
catcher, sustaining injuries from which
he died short time after We under
stand he is a married man, aud lives
