DEATH ON THE RAILROAD.
Two Men Run Over Under Singular Cir
cumstances.

cumstances.
The st. Louis Democrat of the 21st inst. says:-
A brace of railroad accidents of shocking
character occurred at o'clock yesterday morn
ing on the levee. The tracks connecting the
Pacific and Iron Mountain Railroads with the
grain elevator and the North Missouri Railroad
join at the foot of Poplar street, and trains of
cars are moving over them almost constantly at
night.
Officers Barry and Gummersell, while patrol
ling their beat, at 3 o'clock, heard a shout for
help proceeding from the sevee, and ran TO the
spot from whence 1T came. They discovered
James Wilson lying on the track, up which a
train had just passed, with his foot crushed to
a jelly by the wheels. The officers took charge
of him, and prepared to move him to the Health
Office tor treatment. After procuring baggage
wagon, in which they were about to place him,
they heard another cry for help a few rods
below them. Investigation proved that another
man had been run over by another train, which
backed down a few moments before.
The second sufferer proved to be Martin Nor
rissey. His injuries were of horrible nature
The car wheels had passed over both his legs
above the knees and crushed and mangled them
until they held only by a few shreds of skin.
His right hand had become entangled in the
brake Of one of the cars, and by it he was drag
ged along the track until the hand and wrist
became mass of pulpy flesh and broken bones,
when the brake no longer held it.
The officers placed Morrlssey beside Wilson in
the wagon, and drove both to the Health Office.
The Dispensary Physician saw at glance that
nothing could be done for the former, and after
bandaging Wilson's crushed foot, he directed
that they be Immediately removed to the City
Hospital. The amputation of Morrissey's legs
was there performed, but the terrible shock
sustained caused his death few hours after.
Wilson was properly attended to and will
probably recover, although the injury sustained
will cripple him for life.
1t is supposed that both men had been drink
ing during the night and by chance staggered
to the railroad track, where they lay down and
went to sleep. Neither of them could have
been there more than ten minutes when dis
covered, and it is singular coincidence that,
perfect strangers to each other they shoHld
have both been run over almost at the same time
and place and In the same manner.
