that place. There are various versions
rs to the precise manner in which this
truly sad accident occurred, but ac-
cording to the best information we
could obtain from those present, the
account Is substantially as follows A
freight train came up from Carson
loaded with lumber, and at Main street
station, Gold Hill, quite q number Of
persons got on board and rode up to
Virginia. At the workshop of the
railroad company n portion Of the
train was switched OF, and from there
the locomotive was pushinga couple Of
cars loaded with scantling ahead of it,
intended to be switched OIL at the Saw
age dump, after which the locomotive
would pass along to the terminus,
where the regular passenger car was
standing in readiness to start for Cas-
son. Just after passing through the
deep cut by the new ChollarsPotos
dump, and when nearly across the fll
between there and the Hale Il Nor
cross dump. there was a sudden crash,
of the load falling of on the right
hand side. followed by the appalling
discovery that the q was not only OIL
the track, but there was a man lying
beneath the wheels Of the forward
truck of the car. The train had been
stopped Immediately when the acct
dent occurred. The lumber fell off on
the east sile, and the ear had got OIL
on the west side, where Mr.. Manogue
was found lying upon his back, with
his legs under the car, the wheel rest
in" directly upon his thighs, crushing
them deep into the yielding ground.
As soon as possible the train was
backed and the unfortunate man res
cued. He made little or no outcry,
merely grooming 4 little in his
agony. lie was placed upon q
litter and carried to the basement of
of st. Mary's Church, where surgical
attendance was summoned. 1t was OF
no avail. however; the limbs were so
frariully crushed that in about two
hours afterward the poor nan breathed
his last. He was brother to Rev.
Father Manogue, Of st. Mary'sC Church,
Virginia, and was aged about 10 years,
a native of County Kilkenny, Ireland.
Ills funeral will take place from the
Church, ut II o'clock NJ. tomorrow.
Mr.. Manogue was 4 mar of most excel
lent character and n good citizen, high
" esteemed by a large circle Of warm
personal friends. He is said to have
climbed upon the forward end of the
car, with 4 friend, and whether he
Jumped of or fell oil ut the time the
accident occurred we did not ascertain.
Mr.. Bell, the conductor Of the train,
standing OH top Of the load OF
scantling. and went off with it, falling
in such a manner that he was nearly
covered among It, and 1t had to be
taken off him before he could eXtricate
himself. Fortunately he escaped with
n few trifiing bruises. The most I'M
fortunate portion Of this accident the
death of Mr.. Manogue-appears to be
the result of the very practice men,
children, and in fact everybody, has
been so often and so earnestly warned
against, both by the officers Of the
company. and the public press
that of getting upon the freight cars
without permission or proper care and
attention for their W safety. The
coroner's inquest will bring out all
further particulars there may be.
