Death of John O'Hara.

The report at early services at St Rose
that John O'Hara had met shocking,
violent death by being thrown or falling
from the HousatOnic Sunday train Great
ed intense excitement and soon crowds
were hurrying to the freight depot to
ascertain the truth of the report. When
it was proven no false rumur, every one
was sad, for the dead man was well
known to all the st Rose parishioners.
The evidence before Medical Examiner
Smith disclosed that the deceased, in
company with younger brother, Frank,
had gone to Bridgeport. Saturday night,
on the last south-bound train to make a
few purchases of clothing. He stayed
that night with his married sister, Mrs
Griffing, where he appeared cheerful and
WE'LL and, despite repeated solicitations
to remain with his friends in the city,
that day, he started, next morning, for
his home here. He was accompanied
by his brother Frank. They were seat
ed in tho smoking or baggage car,
which, being close and hot, became in-
sufferable and both brothers, as the
train was approaching the Newtown sta
ton. arose TO go out on the platform for
the double purpose OF getting fresh air
and being ready to alght. John O'Hara
was some PAGES in advance of his BROTH
er and all that is known is that, when
Frank reached the platform, his brother
was not there thinks he saw him as he
struck the ground. The lurching of the
car was SO marked that the brother
could only save himself by extreme ex-
ertions and, while passing the spot
where the accident occurred, caught a
glimpse OF somebody falling back
against the side of the car. HI did not
at first think it was his brother, until IA
moment or two later, when the dreadful
apprehension intuitiyely crossed his
mind and he gave she alarm. The en-
CINE was Immediately reversed, but the
air brakes had been disconnected, pre-
sumably by the body of the unfortunate
O'Hara, and the train did not stop until
it had gone half IA mile past the spot
where the accident occurred. The train
backed down, the torn and mangled
form of the dead man was rolled III
sacking, placed in the car and brought
to the freight depot. The medical ex
alminer immediately gave permit fol-
burial, without further enquiry. There
was absolutely no evidence to prove that
the dead man was even slightly intoxi
Gated, nor that he had been drinking
even. Indeed, there is abundance d
proof outside that he had not violated
his pledge, made some time before. Hi.
