With all his reason fed,
And glares up at the stoyepipe Joint
He holds above his head.
His hands are black with polish paste,
His face tattooed with SCOT;
And down his arms and down his ba ok,
Sharp pains unnumbered shoot,

Shocking Fate of Two Children On the o

which resulted in the fatal injury Of two
children, and woman who was with them

Is supposed the three were walking to

this end Of the line was dashing along at
a high speed for such q train, and just as
the train rounded a curve in the third
bridge from the river the engineer
saw the woman and children ma king
their way as rapidly as they could over
the ties toward this end Of the bridge.
The interval before the engine was upon
them was too short to enable the engineer
to do anything to avert the awful occur
renee which he saw was imminent. The
woman managed 10 escape, lbut the two
children were struck and hurled from the
bridge into the creek below.
