the St. Louis train met with serious
accident Monday night. He was attend
ing to his duties as brakeman on top of a
refrigerator car when his train (going
south) was passing under the first bridge

higher than the other freight cars, and
the side of his head struck the bridge with
such force that he was knocked sense
less. Fortunately he did not fall from
the car. He was brought to his fathers
house in this city as soon as possible. Al
first the physicians gave him up, as injur'

faithfully by, and did everything possible
for him-and we are glad to say, that the
boy at last accounts, seemed very much
better, and all the friends have strong
hopes of his recovery.
