Patrick ReddlngtoD, q Mechanic, Loses
His Life by Walking on the Tracks
Patrick Reddington, Of No 1901 West
Second street, was struck and instantly
killed by passenger train No. 80 on the
p, w. & B. railroad, at the foot Of Madi-
son street, at 25 o'clock this morning
Passenger train No SO is an aeeommo-
dalton train from Baltimore to this city.
reaching here at 80 o'clock. 1t is then
transformed into an express train for
Chester and Philadelphia The accident
was but the tragicsl end of an every day
drama The unfortunate man was walk
ing on the railroad to his work, instead of
going few squares out of his way to
take the pavement OF public thorough
fare This is the won't of scores of
workingmen living in the vicinity of
BrowntOwn. Frequently trains of every
description have to slow down under air
brake pressure, to avoid running through
a solid line of men walking up the
tracks.
Reddington had always been very
careful and this morning seemed to be
more so than ever. He exchanged
pleasant morning greetings to his fell
low workmen as they passed and seemed
to bs in good spirits He kept looking
about him TO see If there were any trains
in the neighborhood, and got out Of the
way of all OF them until a shifting en-
CINE came down the south-bound track
on which he was walking
He quickly stepped to the north-bound
track to allow the shifter to pass. Some
thing about the engine took his atten-
ton for q moment. and the passenger
train came laundering along behind him
The sharp whistle shrieked out, the men
on the shifter shouted with all their
might, the nan became bewildered and
wild with fright and then all was over
He was struck from the rear by the
locomotive and thrown across two ad-
Joining tracks. Death was instantaneous,
as the whole back Of the head had been
crushed in, and the brain oozed out. The
body twtched for d few moments and
then the pulsation ceased. The dead man
was brought to the station on the train,
taken to the hospital room, and after
wards taken to his late home, where the
body win probably be viewed by the coro-
ner's Jury this afternoon.
Patrick Reddington was trusted
employe of the Delaware Mills Company,
(puIp works. His trade was that Of a
boiler-maker and in this important
work he was exceedingly proficient. He
was sober and industrious man and had
been EN- ployed at the pulp works for
more than three years. He was 4S years
old and widower, his wife having died
few years ago.

LAST EDITION
THEY WALKED THE TRACK
JOHN GLOVER AND WIFE AND
PAT RICK REDDINGToN KILLED.

They Preferred TO Walk Along the Rail-
road to Using the Public Highways
Nobody Saw Mr. and Mrs. Glover Killed.
Reddington Hurled TO Eternity while
On His way TO Work This Morning.
John and Sarah Glover, husband and
wife, were killed on the Philadelphia,
Wilmington ana Baltimore railroad near
Flshtown, between Grubb's Landing and
Holly Oak stations last night Nobody
saw the accident and the bodies laid on
the track until discovered by Paul
RICHTER, the track walker.
Coroner Sparks is having great diff
Guilty this afternoon in getting witnesses
The last seen of Mr.. and Mrs. Glover
was about o'clock, when they left the
house of an old woman, with whom they
had been stopping, and started for thelr
house about one mile above
They were some distance from any
road, and were walking up the track
when struck. The spot where the acct
dent occurred was situated on
a long stretch of perfectly straight
tracks. and nearly every train that
passes the spot is going at the
fastest rate of speed of any on the line.
The wind, bowling through neighbor
ing wood, made such roaring noise, that
it would have been difficult. or almost
impossible, to hear an approaching train
From the condition OF the two when
found, it is thought that the woman
had fallen down and the man was trying
TO rescue her when they we're both struck
by the train. This conclusion is drawn
from The fact that the woman was
literally ground to pieces while the man
was strnck and hurled from the track
None Of the outgoing or incoming trains
last night noticed the accident.
Detective Jones and Vandegrift were
notified about 10. 80 o'clock, by the track
walker. who had discovered the dead
bodies lying near the rails, about 0 80
o'clock. The detectives procured shift
ing engine and started at once for the
scene. The remains of Mrs Glover were
scattered along the track for many feet.
They had to be gathered up in a wash
tub. Mr.. Glover's body had but very
few marks on it, only slight abrasion
being visible on the back of the head.
John Glover, the father, and a sister
of the dead man live at No. 405 East
Eighth street The former is a gate
tender at Edge Moor and is well-known
by railroad men The remains of the
two unfortunates will be removed to the
home of John Glover, Sr, as soon as
viewed by the coroner's jury, which was
impanelled by Coroner Sparks this morn.
ing The double funeral will probably
be heRa on Thursday afternoon.
John Glover. the dead man, was en-
ployed by the P w. & B. Railroad Com
psny as section boss. which position BIZ
had filed for number of years. Hs
was about As years old and was blessed
with fine constitution. His wife was
about the same age and the two LIVED
happily together and were respected BY
the entire neighberhood They had nc
children and the family of John Clever
ST., were their only living relatives
Glover was we'll insured In a railroad

ceive several hundred dollars. The mel
who worked under Glover will attend tn

The state,s union Bank stooIE.

The record of the certificate for III
shares of Union National Bank stock in
favor of the state, which was found by
Cashier John a. Dandy yesterday, par
TALLY disproyed the theory that no Ger
tificates Of bank stock were ever issued
to the state The certificate No 4s6 will
probably be advertised as missing and a
new one issued, the state giving an
indemnifying bond to the bank to protect
it should the missing certificate be found
The explanation Of the state having
twice as many shares as the certificate
calls for is that it paid in $50 on each
original share, while others paid only $25
The Legislature reduced the par value tc
$25, and the states number of shares
was doubled.
