otive near the Kohinoor breaker and his
body was so badly ground beneath the wheels
of the locomotive and the cars that followed
loaded with rock that the remains were
hardly recognizable.
Mr.. Mcclure walked up the path that runs
along the rock bank of the colliery that is
northwest ofthe borough bridge over which
the electric railway runs. As he reached
the top end of the path he turned to the left
and stepped upon the rock bank track. The
train of rock cars was approaching at a rapid
pace, which is required ON account of the
heavy grade that begins at the point where
the unfortunate man was struck.
The remains were found in a heap on the
track. The legs and arms were crushed and
mutilated, one of the arms was pulled out at
the socket and the body was terribly mutt
lated. Employees removed them to the home
of the deceased in Brownsville.
