CIRCUMSTANCES OF Mr.. TOMpKINs's DEATH.
We mentioned yesterday the fact that Mr..
w. C. Tompkins had been killed by the cars
near Hanover Junction. 1t appears that
Mr.. Tompkius was walking along the track
of the Chesapeake and OSS!!o road when the
passenger-train was passing. In attemps-
ing to get out Of the way he stumbled, fe!",
and the train, which was well upon him,
passed over bis body, mangling him terri
bly. and, of course, producing instant death.
In Justice to the engineer OF the train, VINO
is deeply distressed at the sad accident, it
should be stated that when Mr.. .Tompkins
fell it was beyond human power to stop the
train and thus prevent his being run over !;
for he was within very few feet OF the en-
gine.
