the northbound track of the P, w. q b.
railroad, near Iron Hill, on Saturday.

pleading terms for his return and ex-
pressed the fear that he was not doing
well in Baltimore.

last letter the man had started home but
not having sufficient money TO pay his

riding on the bumper when he fell
beneath the wheels and was ground to
death, The authoress of the letters has
