FATAL AccIDENT.-Last Saturday after
noon a man named Joseph Dumond,
French Canadian, while attempting to
board moving train, was run over and
so severely injured that he died Sunday
evening. The particulars Of the accident
are as follows: Dumond and two others
got on board the east bound freiget train,
they got into an empty box Car intending
to steal a ride, but the conductor saw them
and they were put off. After the train had
started tue three again attempted to get on
board, and the two with Dumond succeeded
in doing so, but Dumond being heavy
fieshy man could not get into the Car door
and so took hold of the steps of the Car and
while trying to step onto the bumpers, so
as to climb into the end door, missed his
footing and fell, the truck wheels passing
over his left thigh aud left hand mangling
and crushing them in a terrible manner,
he had the presence of mind to roll himself
away from the track and escaped being run
over by the rest of the train. He was i'm
mediately conveyed to the Metropolitan
and Drs. Hulburd, Hecnan and Sutherland
were summoned, who after an examination
of the injuries decided that amputation of
the leg and part of the hand was necessary
and they accordingly performed the opera
tion. The thigh above the knee was crush:
ed to pulp the bone being ground almost
to a powder, while two fingers of the left
hand were also smashed to jelly. Du-
mond was from Montreal and had been en-
ployed on gravel train at Breckenridge,
he has wife and family living in Sorelle,
province of Quebec, Canada The re-
mains were conveyed to the Cemetery

decomposition, it was found necessary to
have them Immediately inferred.
A sympathising friend, Mr.. A. j. F.
Enrich, who did not desire to see the re.
mains inferred i'll paupers grave, started
subscription paper and quickly raised a
sum sufficient to procure shroud and cof-
fin, and have the body deccntly uttered.
Owing to the absence Of Father Pellisson,
it was found necessary to send TO Clontarf
for priest, but thanks to the generosity
and liberality of those called upon, team
was sent, and the catholic burial services
were held at the grave.
