New Martiusville Messenger: A serious
accident occurred last Tuesday morning as
the construction train was going up the
road TO commence work. At a short dis
tance above Proctor, and while running at a
very slow rate, one of the cars loaded with
ties. upon which were seated several of the
wOrkmen, Jumped the track, throwing off
the ties. Two of the men were not so lucky
aS the rest in succeeding in jumping off
They were James T. McCaifrey and
Stephens who were completely
buried under the ties. The ties being re-
moved as quickly aS possible Stephens was
found not to have received scratch, while
McCafirpy was picked up with his face
mashed into Jelly, his ewes having already
been Swclled shut and his left arm badly
bruised broken, and piece OF the bone
protrudcd through the flesh. He was
brought to this place by the train as soon as
possible and taken to the residence of VI.
r. Grouse where he had been staying and
medical aid summoned. DrS. Low
thcr ,and Young arrived, and rem
lered the necessary aid 1t was at first
supposed that the arm would have to be am
putatcd, but he is at present doing as well
ms could be expected. 1t was a miracle
that both men were not killed instantly. In
the afternoon of the same day one of the
track LAYERS. bv the name of Deem, had one
