The unfortunate man went to the Nor

the yards as though endeavorinE to

the train arrived, and Cherry stood on
the track longsidc the train until the
regular engine was detached ana the
shifting engine began to back the cars
away from the passenger station
As the express car passed him he de-
iiDeratEy threw himself under the
trucks. The wheel passed over him,
completely d!sembowelling him. But
for few hanging tendons his body was
cut entirely in half. His left hand was
also severed from the arm, and one Of
his legs was broken.
The mad plunge of the suicide was
seen by one or two persons. who called
to the engineer to stop. which he so
promptly did that only one truck passed
over Mr.. Cherry. The body was at once
removed to the emigrant room and n
doctor was summoned. The horribly
mangled victim gasped once or twice
while being taken there. but was dead
before the room was reached. When
Dr. Southgate Leigh reached his side
a few minutes later he was past all aid.
The deceased was about a. years of
age and unmarried. He was born and
raised in Portsmouth. but in recent
years has lived in this city. working at

porting that on August 3lst he had been
compelled To transfer from the shin to
the BROOKLYN Hospital the fifth case of
typhoid fever since that vessel was
commissioned at League Island, June
10 last. 1t appears that the battlcship
Indiana. also fitted out al League Is
,land. has also had sixteen cases of typ-
hold develop aboard in her very brief
career. One of the Massachusetts men
died shortly after the vessel left the
yard. The surgeon attributes the dis
ease To the bad drainage of Philadelphia
and the condition of that part of the
cltv nearest League Island, and recon-
mends that no ships be commissioned or
fitted there until the conditions are
changed. Surgeon General Tryon in his
endorsement on the report corroborates
the statements. and adds that the four
cases of typhoid which developed this
summer on the Bancroft were directly
traceable TO the Schuylkill water sup
