On Monday morning, Nov 9th, a sad
and fatal accident occurred at Greensburg,
resulting in the instant death of Jas. t.
Miller. a resident of S~coitdale, this county.
Mr.. Miller was in Greensburg on business,
and having transacted it, went to the depot
with the intention of taking the train on
the Southwest Railroad for his home.
When the Mail train east, over the Penn
sylvania Railroad came along, he boarded
it and did not discover that he was on the
wrong train until it began to mOve. In
e%ndeavoring to jump off while the ears
were in motion, by some means or other
he was thrown under the wheels, and was
literally ground to pieces. He was a gen
tleman who enjoyed a large circle of ae-
quaintances and leaves a wife and four
children to mourn his sudden death.-Nt.

him the infant.
Several persons noticed the accident. and
the alarm was hurriedly given, when the
train was stopped and backed up. with the
expectation of taking TWO mangled forms
on board. Strange To relate the child was
found To be comparatively uninjured.
while the man was inscnsible. and bleed

short time sufficiently recovered % be
