George Kerst, of Lehighton, met
with his sudden death on Wednesday
afternoon, about 5 O'Clock, in the fol.
lowing manner: Kerst was in town the
greater part of the day, and while here
it seems met too many friends CD who
together INDUCED little too freely in
drink. Kerst in company with another
man, was seen going down Susquehan
ma street with their arms around each
other, short time before the arrival
of the down passenger train, due here
at 4.40 pm. 1t was then thought by
some that they were on their way to
meet the train, but through the persua-
sive powers of his companion he was
induced to take another drink, during
which time the passenger train had ar
rived. BY the time Kerst and his COM
panion got to the Mansion House the
train had left, and at the same time
coal train was passing down, on
which IL seems Kerst made up his mind
to take passage for Lehighton. He at
tempted to jump on the train, and in
doing so was caught between the cars
and thrown violently to the ground
several cars passing over his breast anC
one side OF his head, maLgling hin
badly and breaking his neck, causing
instant death His remains were sem
to Lehighton.
