ness, intending to return on the next
Cumberland and Pennsylvania rail
road train west. After completing his
mission he walked leisurely toward the
station, but lost some time on the way,
meeting and talking with friends.
Meanwhile the train pulled out, and
was passing the Baltimore street eros
sing whom young Paul attempted to
board the rear platform of the mail
car. Through some miscalculation or
mishap he missed his footing and fell
between the platforms of the mail car
and smoker. Quoting the report of
the Cumberland Neus, "his feet were at
once caught by the wheels which also
passed over him, and his body was
twisted IN every direction and horribly
mangled. The train was quickly stop
ped, but too late to do any good" His
person was so badly mangled as to oc-
casion some question at first as to his
identity, but this was soon settled by
investigation. J. T. H. Paul, of this
place, was on the locomotive of the
train, but did not learn who had been
killed until apprised by telegram at Mt.
Savage. The railroad authorities
there kindly provided him special
train to return to Cumberland, where
he found the dead mans remains en-
cofined and ready for transportation
to this place. He arrived here at $40
p. M, and the coffin was taken to the
residence of R. C. Paul, jr.
