New York Times of Saturday says
"A young ana beautiful German girl
about l6 years of age, met with sad
and sudden death last night, on the
Harlem Railroad, short distance
north of the Morri,ania Depot. 1t
appc ars that the Harlem train going
north and the New Haven $50 down
passenger troiu--thc lattor being be-
hind timc and running at high rate
of speed- passed each other there.
The engineers Of both trains observed
tho girl and sounded the alarm whis-
tic, when she sprung from before the
Harlem train across the other track,
and was struck and instantly killed
by the New Haven engine, her body
being hurled some twenty feet in the
air. When the train was stopped and
backed up tn the spot, tho body was
found terribly broken. A shawl was
found pinned about the head, which
probably prevented her f,om hearing
the trains a portion of an evergreen
wreath was found on her person, and
near by were several toys, which she
had evidently purchased for Christ
