Co.,. of which the Express gives the following particu- lars: William Shenan, an employee of the company, who had been unloading coal from cars standing on side track just above the depot, fell before car in mo- tion and was run over; one set of trucks passing over his body just above the thighs, almost severing the limbs. It seems that some cars which Shenan had been engaged in unloading, commenced to run down the track. He had just ap- piled the brake to the forward car, and was standing on tne platform when other cars running down after the first, struck it with such force as to throw him of. In falling, his head probably struck against the car or track so violently as to render him unconscious, as witnesses of the accident state that he lay upon the track where he fell without making any move ment as the car approached, and passed over him. It is probable that but for this he might have escaped, as the car was moving very slowly. A severe cut was found on his temple, which must have been caused by blow severe enough | to have produced inconsistencies. The unfortunate man merely groaned once and moved his eyes after the accident. Dr. Goodwin was summoned, but of course was unable to render any assist ance, as life was extinct in few minutes. Shenan had been employed by the Plume X Atwood Go. several years, and was an industrious and worthy man. He leaves a wife and five children with very little means of support. ~.<.-. sa+.'.'s -.
