A COLORED boy, aged about nine
years, son of Charles Newman, had
his leg cut off by a car passing over
it at the B. & Q. r.. r. depot, on
Saturday evening last. The ampu-
tation was at the thigh, and success
fully performed by the railroad ply
stefan, assisted by DR.. Snodgrass.
The officials Of the B. q 0. R.R. have
used every means to preynt boys from
loafing around the depot and jump
ing on and off trains; they have even
asked the assistance of the city police
in trying to break it up. But not
Withstanding these efforts there are
class of boys, both white and
colored, who cannot be controlled
in The matter under the limited pow
ers granted in the laws and ordi-
nances. Besides, in many instances
their parents are largely to blame.
The accident on Saturday night is
another warning to both boys and
parents, and if they do not heed it.,
the power ought to be given to ar
rest and imprison every boy caught
jumping on trains in motion.
