A MAN KILLED WHILE ATTEMPTING 20
BOARD A FREIGHT TRAIN GOING AT
THE RATE OF FIF, ZEN MILES AN
HOUR.
Monday,,eveuing last, at about fifteen
minutes after six o'clock a man was
found at the Rijgway depot in an iu-
sensible condition, with the fingers cut
from his left band aud his left foot badly
mutilated and terrible fracture in his
skull. No one saw the man at the time
of the accident and he had laid by the
side OF the track Tor some time before
he was discovered, but the supposit.on
is that in attempting to board the
through freight, which passed Ridgway
station about six o'clock, he missed his
hold and fell backwards on the track
striking probably on the rail causing the
fracture in his skull, the wounds Oh his
hand aud foot it is supposed were made
by the local, which was standing on the
side track at the time, passing over them
One snpposition is that he attempted to
board the engine and another Is that he
attempted to board the caboosc, whicl.
theory is right 20 one will ever be able
to de ttermine, but that the man missed his
hold aud fell while trying to get on the
train there is no reason to doubt. The
injured man was taken to the Hyde
House, and under the care of Drs Hart
ley and Mcknight, everything was done
to relieve the unfortunate man, that
skill and judgment suggested, but
without avail. No reaction took place
but the man was at times delirious,
when it required two or three men to
hold him, yet at no time was he con-
scious, save Of pain. At twelve O'Clock
death ensued and relieved the sufferer
of his suffering.
An Inquest was held by Esquire
Mead aud jury composed oil James
Fullerton, Il X Gresh, Chas. Holes, H
II Wensel. James McGinnis, and Will
liam Cummings, who elected the follow
ing facts: The name of the deceased
was John Berdauer, aged about thirty
five years a resident OF Remove, mar
ried man having a wife and one child a
moulder by trade, who bad been teach
ipg school at Remove for some time past,
and who had acted in the capacity of
brakeman on freight train. On the
day of the accident he came to Ridg-
way for the purpose of getting employ
ment at the new foundry of Messrs
Hyde & Kline, aud was engaged by Mr.
Kline.
We lcorn from other sources that the
man was well educated and sober aud
industrious man.
His vile had been married before
and had lost her first husband and nine
children, besides losing child by her
second husband, aud now her second
husband is sent to her coffued and
shrouded who but yesterday was in the
full enjoyment of life aud physical ac.
tvity, filing as it were her cup of
misery to overHowing. In the dead
mans pocket was found package OF
candy which he vase carrying home to
his little child, and who eau surmise
what visi, of home l6ed bis mind as
h. was about to take the fatal step,
which forever veied the III ms Of time
from his sight
The remains wele sent TO Remove on
mail Tuesday afternoon.

Grown Worn by Napoleon and the
Emperor William.

Napoleon had another magnificent
crown made for himself in 1904. 1t was
this crown that he 80 proudly placed
upon his head with his own hands in
the Cathedral of Notre Dame. IS 1t is a
jeweled circle, from which springs sew
eral arches surmounted by the globe and
cross, and where the arches join the cir
Gle there are alternately flowers and
eagles of gold.
After his downfall it remained in the
French Treasury until it was assumed
by another Bonaparte, when Napoleon
III made himself Emperor, in 1852. 1t
is now in the regalia of France, which
have Just been brought back to Paris
from the western seaport to which they
were sent for security during the Prus.
sian invasion, just as the Scotch regalia
were sent to Dunnottar. .qAgiFT
If we may judge from some of the
German photographs of the Emperor
William, the crown of the new German
Empire is of a very peculiar shape, ap'
parently copied from the old Carloying
ian diadem. 1t is not circle, but Q
polygon, being formed Of fat jeweled
plates of gold united by the edges, and
having above them two arches support
ing the usual globe and cross. =: , ~

Curing Headache with Sixpenny
Nail.

A curious and remarkable case was
brought under the attention of DR.. Tate,
of Augusta county, Va, q few days ago.
He was called to see Mrs. Taylor, wife of
Mr.. Robert Taylor, living about three
miles from Greenville, and found that
she had driven asixpenny nail into the
back of her head, which, after much
difficulty, he succeeded in extracting.
The nail had been driven in several days
previous, and by her own hands. 1t was
discovered by daughter of hers while
combing her hair one day, and she in
sisted on. keeping the fact secret, but the
daughter sent. for DIR. Tate, as above
stated. ~ tif'-' WV
She told her daughter that she had
driven the nail in several days before,
with the fat side of hatchet; that she
had been suffering with violent pains in
the head, but since driving in the nail
she had been entirely free from them
Some years ago she had been confined In
the Western Lunatic Asylum, and has
for some time been partially deranged
If the nail penetrated the skull, as un
derstand it did, ii is very remarkable
case, and one Of much interest to the
medical fraternity. l' '.'i' "n' i'fHr
