A Brakeman's Shocking Fnte..

The horribly mutilated remains of a dead man were discovered lying on the track in the Hartford railroad cut near the Fair street bridge yesterday morning, and the fact was reported to Officer Cowles at the Union de- pot by Conductor Dickerman on the arrival of his train from Hartford. The remains, which were scattered along the track for some distance, were gathered up by the po- lice and conveyed to the morgue. The de- nearly severed from his body. Brains were scattered along the track and it looked from the signs about where the accident occurred that the man must have been dragged at least one hundred feet between the cars An early morning freight train bound south must have passed over his body, which lay near the switch house in the rear of the City Hotel Yardmaster Henry Kentfield said the man was brakeman on switch engine Mo-
 36, and that he had been employed only two days, yesterday morning being his second time as brakeman on the switcher. When he sought employment on the road he gave his name as Philip Reilly, formerly en- ployed on the Boston and Albany railroad as brakeman. He appeared to be about thir- ty years old. The switch engine left the York yard yesterday morning shortly after o'clock and Reilly, it is said, was well for ward on the top of box freight car. There were seven cars attached to the engine and they were being taken to the junction near Tin bridge. Reilly was missed from the train shortly after it passed the bridge. A jury of inquest was impannelled by Coroner Mix, and after viewing the remains and hear ing the testimony of Henry Kentfeld, Ly- man Pope Walter Williams and Edward Fenn, came to the verdict that Philip Reil- ly was knocked from train of cars by the Fair street bridge and was then run over by said train"
