said that A Jram Flurey, who once resideu
here and worked with Armstrong & Co., in
the foundry, came here from Baltimore to
see his wife who was visiting friends here
and AT Havre de Grace. He came here on
Saturday evening and not finding his wife
here and caring that she had gone over the
river, he started to walk the bridge about 10
o'clock when he met a freight train coming
north across the bridge. How it was done
we may never know, but there was a gen
tlemap walking this way behind the train
and found Flurey on the side of the track.
He did what he could for him and ran
the wounded man rolled overheard and
would have dro wned had not Amos A.
Boyd and Dave Nauss caught him. These
two men were out fishing near the bridge
and at once started for the wounded and
drowning man. After some delay in find
ing him they hauled him up in very ex-
hausted condition. After taking him ashore
DIR. Stump. the railroad company's physi-
clan, was called and dressed his wounds.
He had cut on the head, one under his
chin and "a very bad wound in his loins.
Besides he was bruised from head to foot
though he had been scraped. The front of
his shirt was torn off and one pants leg
was gone. DR.. Stump dressed the wounds
when he was taken to Baltimore to hos
pital, his wife accompanying him. 1t was
stated here on Sunday that he was dead,
but the report has since been contradicted
1t is said that he was very much under the
influence of liquor at the time.
