FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT
On the Main Line OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad.

BALTIMORE, March 25.
A horrible fatality, and one that has
few, if any, parallels, occurred late on
Sunday night at Frederick Junction, on
the main line OF the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. William Garter, q brakeman
on freight train, left the engine short
distance from the Junction. and went
forward to adjust the switch. He then
signslled the train to approach, and
turned 10 step from the track when, to
his horror, he found himself prisoner,
his foot having become tightly wedged in
the "frog." The train was swiftly sp-
preaching and the wretched man resliz.
ing his perilous position, struggled des-
perately to free himself, but without ef-
feet. he shrieked loudly, but the noise
OF the moving train drowned the sound
of his voice and as the night was dark
the engineer failed TO see him.
Despairing Effort for Life.
When the locomotive was nearly on
him he gathered all his force and hurled
his body over the side OF the track. Just
as he did SO the wheels passed over his
leg, crushing the bones into splinters and
grinding the mesh into fragments. His
body was also hurled around aud fear
fully mutilsted. He was removed 10
Frederick, where he died early this
morning. The corpse will be brought
TO this city, where his wife and family
reside, for interment.

A Marriage.

In another column it will be seen that
our friend. Thomas Lewis, has done the
most sensible act of his life time. We re-
fer, Of course, to the contamination of his
happiness in securing better-hal. Tom
is good fellow, kind hearted and gener-
Gus, and will undoubtedly make a good
husband. Miss Trent is sister-in-law of
Nelson Story, and highly accomplished,
well eda :'ted and sensible lady.
One way 20 get out of having the boys
charivari you is to go away from home to
get married. That's all right, Tom.
We are glad to know that The '.honest
effort" mentioned in the following acros-
tic has won the race:
Nearer, dear girl, to thee, nearer to thee,
Enchantrsss Of my soul I'd like to be;
Tyrants may fight for glory and renown,
L" me the fight is to make thee mine own;
If honest effort in race will win,
Expect me on the track, for am in.
Although matrimony has its cares, trials
and responsibilities, we hope all may be
smooth and pleasant with the lady and
gentleman who have thus united their des-
TIMES. May happiness, in the full sense
of the term, be always theirs, and may
neither Of them ever have occasion to re-
greet the step taken in deciding to journey
through life together.

Latest from the Willow Creek Murder

From Judge Mcpherson, who returned
from Willow Creek on Tuesday night,
where he had been called to hold an in
quest on the body of w. E. Fredricks, We
learn that no knife was used by Foley
that he shot Fredricks with Needle-gun
that Fredricks must have discharged two
shots from his revolver at Foley, and that,
after the shooting closed in upon his an
tagonist, threw him down, wrestcd his gun
from, and broke it over him, and, strange
to say, did not succeed in killing him be-
fore he himself fell from sheer exhaustion;
but the strangest part of the story is to the
effect that Ben. Wells was present during
the entire deadly encounter, with Il VIM
chester rifle in the house within reach,
and yet failed to interfere or render the
least assistance during the fatal struggle.
We are informed that Wells is utterly
unable to give any rational explanation for
his strange conduct, but it is supposed he
was so overcome by surprise and horror
that he was rendered incapable of any eff
fort on Fredricks' behalf. Foley was still
at large when Mcpherson left; those in
pursuit were unable to track the murderer
except for short distance from the house.
The Coroner's inquest. held on the 10th
inst. was, In substance, in accordance with
the above.

ally left in the slaughter house, short
distance below town. So on Tuesday
morning last he repaired to the slaughter
house, secured the revolver, which was
loaded ready for use, placed its muzzle
against his left breast, with the evident iii
tention of shooting himself through the
heart, and fired. The ball entered or 3
inches above the left nipple. ranging
downward, passed brorss..:: the lungs and
lodged somewhere, perhaps, in his back.
After shooting himself he walked up to
town and into his own room, adjoining
w. II. Bailey's jewelry store, where he
was heard grooming by Mr.. Bailey. On
inquiry he told what he had done, and
stated his determination to try it again if
he should be so unfortunate as to recover
from his present hurt. He was finally
persuaded to go to bed and have the
wound examined and dressed, and was fl
nally provided for by the county commits
sioneis, and is liable to recover.
We have considerable sympathy and re-
spect for the poor unfortunate man, for in
his suicidal efforts he has manifested a
care and regard for others very unusual
with men of drunken and dissOlute habits.

came TO his death from poison in some
sugar he had taken, and it was so stated
in the COURIER last week, but on the au-
thority of DR.. A. j. Hunter, who attend
ed the case, such was not the fact, al
though the man suffered from complica-
ton of diseases which produced convul-
sions, for two hours and half, after the
doctor arrived, before lite was extinct.
MIR. Gage leaves a wife and seven chill
dren to mourn his loss. The sympathy of
ill who know the family is extended to
