one hundred and fifty yards from the
scene OF the accident. Mrs Moreland,
vile OF Edward Morelsnd who is a
"section boss" in the employ Of the
road, was about going to neighboring
house for a bucket Of water, and, either
not seeing the train, or through
some preoccupation OF mind not
noticing her danger, attempted to
to Cross the track. She was struck by
the engine and almost instantly killed.
The train ran one-fourth Of mile or

ENGINEER were anxious to do all that
could be done 10 relieve the suffering.
