Tampa on Monday of last week. AS his
train was crossing trestle, the trestle
gave way and the engine went down with
it. MIR. Thornton was badly burned about
the lace, neck and arms, and there was at
one time grave apprehensions that he
would lose the sight of both eyes, but we
are GLAD to learn that he is recovering.
His family is living here at Mr.. A. D.
Ruedes. His wife left Saturday to visit
him and give him needed attention. Since
writing the above, we have seen a letter
from Mrs. Thornton and she gives some
information as to the nature of the burns
her husband received. Mr.. Thornton was
thrown under the engine and lay there
roasting until pulled cut. His knee cap
is crushed. the flesh burned to the bone on
his left hand, which makes that hand use,
less for life. The flesh was burned deep
in many places on his arms and body,
while the worst bnrn is just Below the top
of his head. The doctor is very apprea
hensive that the bone is Injured to such
an extent that it may have to be taken out
and his skull trepanned. Mr.. Thornton is
delirious half the time. 1t is hoped that
ne will pull through his horrible and ex-
cruciating Affections.
