Bum Over by "a Railroad Train

Yesterday morniDg.as Mr.. Thomas P. Reddy,
who resides at No. 175 Clark street, an old
man, between eighty and ninety years of age,
who is deaf, attempted to Cross the Portland
& Ogdensburg railroad track just above the
railroad station, the Ogdensburg passenger
train, which leaves this city at 1928 o'clock,
was backing down to the station. Mr.. Reddy
did not see the cars, and did not hear the
shouts of the employees on the rear OF the
train. The bell cord was pulled for the train
to stop bnt before it was brought to halt the
brake-beam under the car struck him and
knocked him down. He was also dragged
some distance. The wheels did not go over
him bat his arm and leg were badly broken
the arm SO much so, that after Mr.. Rich had
taken Reddy to the Maine General Hospital ia
his ambulance the doctors concluded they
should have to amputate it. His head was
seriously hurt where the brake-beam struck it
and owing to his advanced age the surgeons
thought it probable that the accident would
prove fatal. Mr.. Reddy died in the afternoon.
Coroner Gould will hold an inques. this
morning at 10 o'clock.

The Accident on .he ogdensburr.


The accident on the Ogdensburg, mentioned
in yesterdays PRESS, proved remarkable es-
cape from serious disaster. Train hands had
left the main track, in a hand-car, and gone
on to the siding, where there were several
freight cars left standing. They then, instead
of setting the switch back, locked it 30 as to
cause train coming down the main track to
shunt on to the siding. The regular express
came along at high rate of speed, as it was
little behind time, and ran on to the sidin--.
The collision with the cars on the track saved
the express. Those cars did not have their
brakes set SO that when struck they moved
forward and were smashed, while only the
engine and two baggage cars on the express
went off the end of the siding and over the
embankment and were wrecked. The other
cars of the express stayed on the track and no
one was hurt although the passengers were con-
siderably shaken mp. The wrecking train from
Portland cleared the track so that the express
reached Portland at a. m. yesterday.
