We received call this afternoon from
our friend, Mr.. r. G. Coulter, formerly Of
this place. Mr.. C., it will be remembered,
was one Of the victims of the, late terrible
railroad accident on the Allegheny Valley
Railroad, 10 which WiIlism Casey was kill
ed. Mr.. Coulter thinks lis sshske for exi
istence" was mighty narrow, in fact he has
no desire for an accident Of similar
character. His many friends hereabouts
will be pleased to learn of bis narrow es/
cape and that bis Injuries will not result
permanently.
We might add that Nr. Coulters story
virtually explodes the romantic story told
in regard 10 Casey losing bis | lie In the
effort to save tha, of the life Of the little
neweboy. He states for fact that Casey
could not have penetrated the terrible wall
Of fire that surrounded the ill.fatsd car and
returned again to save the life Of any per-
SOD. This fact is proven BY the position
in which Casey's body was found, 1t being
90 sntangled in the wreck and not burned
in the least, as TO sffsetually explode the
above story.
