FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-The
st. Paul Express train, on the Milwaukee
and st Paul Railway going east, last Mon
day morning, due in this city at 10 A. NJ,
was thrown from the track by a broker
rail between Greenfield ard Tomah Two
Passenger coaches and the sleeping CO..
were turned over on their sides. One of
the passengers, Mr.. J. A. Kelly, of Lanes
boro, Mimi, jumped from the train and was
Instantly killed by car falling upon him.
Six other persons were more or less injured,
several of whom had arms and limbs bro
ken. Under the circumstances it was re-
narkable that the accident was not attended
of far more serious character was doubtl esq
averted by the great strength of the passen-
ger coaches now in use by the Milwaukee
and st. Paul Company. The manner OF
Mr.. Kelley's death only shows how impor-
tant it is that passengers in railroad cars
should keep their seats in ii me of an acct
dent and not attempt to leave the trai n.
Had he observed this rule his life would
have been saved. Mr.. Kelley was a con-
tractor on the Green Bay & Lake Pepin R, R.
an had been section boss on the Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railway line at
Lowell, Dodge County, where he then resi-
ded. 1t is worthy of men ton, that Mr..
Kelley is the first passenger that has been
killed on this division of the road, cir
cumstance which speaks well FORTS care
ful cement.
