sad Accident.

Mr.. j. Il. Price, plasterer at the Cap
itol and a resident at Hyattsvlle was run over at
that station yesterday morning at half past ten by
the Cincinnati express and instantly killed. Price
was attempting to cross the track, laboring under
the dcluslon that 1t was an accommodation then
due, whereas 1t was an express running at very
high rate of speed and behind time. Mr.. Price was
coming into the city to church. No blame can
possibly be attached 10 the engineer, as 1t would
have been absolutely impossible to stop the train
in time to avert the terrible calamity.
