when they got away, they lost no time

An unknown man was killed on the
p, w. 4 Il, Railroad last evening about
TBS O'Clock between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth st., Landlith formerly near
Brandywine Station. The man had
taken passage on the rear car of the
train No. 1866 bound east but before tho
trail reached Landllth station he was
seen to jump from the rear platform
and disappear in trench, which here
runs across the track and on either
side OF which is stone wall.
The jump was witnessed by lady
named Ashley, who gave the alarm.
The train stopped at the station, but
none of the train men knew what had
happened. Jacob !. Emmett and Chris
TOPPER w. Corsey hurried to the man
lust In time to see him breathe his last.
In his jump he struck his head against
the stone wall, crushing his head and
causing the brains to ooZe out. His
body was also very much scared and
cut.
Coroner Sparks took charge OF the
body and had it removed to tho
morgue. When he examined him he
found on piece OF paper, the name
'Joseph Mcfarland, No. SIS West
Thirty-Seventh street, New York City,
and on the diverse side the address
'.David Mcfarland, poo West goth stree
