We learn from a travelling man
who was on the cast bound G. & o.
R. R. last night, that the train
struck and instantly killed a man
crossing the bridge at St. Albans.
West Virginia. The train was
stopped and they went back and
picked up tho body, which had
been knocked off the bridge, and
was lying across some timbers in
the river, but was too badly multi
ated about the face to be recog-
nized. The stranger was we'll
dressed, and no doubt is known at
St Adams.
