miles from Cumberland, killing four
men and injuring seven others. Two

broken wheel. There were three
trains united, the first consisting en-
tirely of an engine and Pennsylvania
Railroad coal scows. The other two
were the two engines, each followed
by coal hoppers. The trains were
connected, so that the engines could
assist each other In holding back the
hoppers, the grade of the road being
very steep. In this instance the train
got beyond the control of the men,
and in passing through the first tun.

vania scow broke, tearing up the

but slightly injured. The men killed
were buried under the debris. Bald
win cannot be found. McGettigan

David Huffman, residing in Oak
land. and employed by Mr.. Thomas
Martin as teamster. died suddenly
Tuesday evening under the following
circumstances Deceased, together
with Mr.. Martin and others, started
from Oakland Tuesday morning
with teams loaded with grain for the
North Branch railroad. About 7
O'Clock in the evening of the same
day they arrived at Lloyd Kitsmil'
ler's. near the North Branch river, 10
miles from Oakland, and few miles
from their destination. Here they
stopped to warm and requested to be
allowed to put up for the night, but
could not be accommodated, and
started to their teams, standing
on the roadside, to proceed on
their way. when Huffman fell
across his sled. Mr.. Martin seeing
him and thinking that something
was wrong went to him and found
him unconscious. They requested to
be allowed to take him into Kitz-
miller's. but were not allowed to do
so by some members of the family,
and were compelled to proceed on
their Journey, and before reaching
shelter Huffman died. The body was
brought to Oakland Wednesday and
inferred Thursday. No inquest was
held as his death was evidently from
natural causes possibly superinduc-
ed by cold, as Tuesday was one of the
coolest days so far this winter, the
thermometer ranging from 1Oo to
zero.
Deceased was about Is years of age
and leaves wife and six small chill
dren in very poor circumstances. He
also has children living from former
marriage.
