attached to the Jersey Central passenger
train, No. II due here from the South

man named William IDgerdorf a few
yards south Of the Dana street crossing.
His skull was crushed In and death was
instantaneous. Engineer Belford saw the
man on the track walking directly toward
the approaching locomotive. The eDgi-
neer thought he would leave the track
and blew the whistle to warn him, but
he paid no attent on whatever, and In an
instant was struck and thrown to one
side lifeless corpse. There is some sus-
ticlon that the deceased deliberately
commit ed suicide. Iugerdorf was about

WEIGHT on High street. He was en-
ployed at the Wyoming Valley Works as
blacksmith, 1t is said that he had been
drinking heavily for the past two days
