KILLED IN THE CUT.

An Unknown Man Meets Death or the Tracks Under the City Mar. ket-An investigation to be Made. Shortly after II o'clock last evening the body of an unknown man, badly mangled the Consolidated railroad under the city market. The head had been crushed in and the cars had passed over the left leg, between the knee and ankle, completely severing 1t from the body. In addition, the right thigh and leg were badly frsc tured and the man sustained severe inter- nal injuries.
 The police ambulance WAS summoned and the dying man taken to the hospital, where he expired at 12:35 this morning from his injuries. Coroner Mix and Medical Examiner White were notified and will make an investigation this morn ing.
 At the hospital were found papers in the pockets of tine victim bearing the names of Flynn and Dawson; also an unsddressed and partially written postal card dated New York city. The theory Is that the man, who Is about twenty-five years old, was either stealing ride on the cars and knocked of by the Chapel street bridge or while walking along the tracks was struck by an engine and run over. At first 1t was reported that the victim was John Harri- gan, a brakeman on the road, but later 1t was ascertained that no such person work ed in the capacity of brakeman on the road. At 2 o'clock this morning the hos pital authorities were of the opinion, from letters and papers on his person, that the mans name was Flynn and that he hailed from Kentucky.
