FArAl AccIDRxT OK hAflR0An
Baltimore Sea Of Friday, says;--John 4.
McVey, freight conductor On the Western
Maryland railroad, was killed yesterday morn
ing near Oakland station, on thai road, three
miles from Baltimore, BIZ falling into deep
rnvine from the train IN motion. He left
Fulton station depot at halfpast one o'clock
yesterday morning, and when last seen before
the accident was standing on top Of the ca.
boose, which was attached 10 the rear car Of
the train. The brakeman on the rear plat.
form Of the caboose saw him, as did man in
charge ofthc rinrket.car, which was the next
in advance OF the caboose. II is supposed
that in stepping from the top OF the eabOose
70 the market-car, going toward the engine
McNey fell between the cars. The train was
going up grade at the rate Of about six miles
an hour, and was passing over what is
called high trestle, two miles from Baltimore.
In falling between the ears and then through
the trestle he struck some iron projection,
which entered his shoulder and penetrated
the left lang, inficting fatal injury. The
man in the market.ear heard heavy fall
and looking out found that the conductor
had disappeared The alarm was given half
o mile from Oakland, The train was backed
and at the bottom Of the rayiue, below the
trestle, the body Of McYey was found. lie
was not yet dead, but suffered greatly from the
wound in his lung, No limbs were broken,
but his head and body were badly bruised.
The train carried him back 10 Fulton station,
whore DIR. Murray attended him, but at 3
o'clock yesterday morning he died. His wife
and children, who were visiting relatives at
Hayre de Grace, we're notified and returned
home yesterday. He was forty years old and
a very steady man.
THE ErIzooric. This disease, which pre-.
vailed TO great extent throughout the cOun
try among the horses, several years ago, has
again made its appearance. Several cases in
Baltimore have terminated fatally, We have
heard OF only few cases IN this county, but
j its probable that in short time we shall
hear Of more.
