going east, and the noise prevented them
from hearing the passenger train, and
in an instant their manglsd and bleeding
bodies were hurled down the bank. Coro-
ner Chambers summoned jury, and the
testimony OF Joseph Hackett, the engineer,
and his fireman was that the boys were not
seen until the engine was within h1teen
wards OF them and running at the rate OF
thirty miles an hour. He gave the alarm
signal aud applied the air brakes. but TO no
r,rlrnose. As soon as the train was stopped
the remains OF the little uufortunates were
