DEATH ON THE RAIL.

The Philadelphia & Reading Railroad
Company run their trains right into the
heart of our city, at the rate of 10 miles
an hour. On Saturday, as DR.. F. r.

one of the Reading trains ran into his
carriage, and he was so severely injured
that his left arm had to be amputated.
DIR. Thomas after suffering intense ago
ny, died in two days.
On Saturday at Edgewater, near Bur
lington, N. j., the carriage OF Mr.. AL
fred Wiegand was struck by locomo-
tive. Mr.. Wiegand had an arm torn
from his body, and was badly cut and
bruised about the head his wife and
infant child was instantly killed the
carriage was left total wreck, and the
horse was killed.
AS individuals have no rights which
railroad companies are bound to respect,
L mention these cases that your readers
may act cautiously in crossing railroads,
no matter where located.
