and groceries. When about mile

in and divide the work up so that

KILLED ON
A RAILROAD
A Distressing Accident at Vim. Penn
This Morning.
AN AGED WOMAN WAS THE VICTIM
She Was Walking on the Railroad and
First Got out Of the way of a
1rain, But Was Struck by
the Second Section.

A distressing accident occurred on the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad at VIM.
Penn this morning, by which an aged and
highly respected woman, Mary Brennan,
wife of Ferdinand Brennan, lost her life
Mrs. Brennan left her home in the lower
VIM. Penn patch early in the morning and
went to the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Michael McDonough, in the upper patch, to
have some dress cutting down. When she
started to return home she remarked that
she would walk down the p. & r. railroad
as it was a shorter route than to go along
the public road. Mrs. Brennan walked to a
point about 25 yards west of the switch
which is located nearly opposite Bender's
hotel, when she stepped aside to allow a west
bound coal train to pass. The train was in
two sections, a flying switch having been
made, but Mrs. Brennan did not observe
this. When the last car of the first section
passed she stepped on to the track again
and continued her journey without look
ing back. A boy realized what was about
to happen and shouted to the unfortunate
woman to leave the track. The warn
ing was evidently not heard. As the sec
ond section approached nearer Mrs Brennan
seemed to take warning from the noise by
the rumbling of the wheels, but it was toe
late. She turned to see what was following
and as she did SO a corner Of the car struck
her on the head. The unfortunate woman
was knocked into the gutter, clear of the
wheels. Her skull was horribly crushed
just above the forehead The boy who wit
messed the accident gave an alarm and the
/ victim was taken from the place by friends
She was carried unconscious to her home and
died about half an hour after arrival there
/ Mrs Brennan was 80 years of age She is
/ spoken of by her neighbols as an excellent
woman of industrious habits She is sur
vived by her husband, six daughters and a
son. The children are Mrs. Michael Nc
Donough, Mrs. Lewis Bender, Mrs. Michael
Brown and Mrs. Annie Kelly, of VIM. Penn;
Mrs. Thomas Hanlon, of Park Place, Mrs
Bernard Kennedy, of Shenandoah, and
Thomas Brennan, of Conners' patch; Mrs
Bender is the wife of the well known hotel
keeper of VIM. Penn.

day seeking evidence Of the death of one
Wesley Bodine whose supposed widow, a
resident Of Danville, claims pension Bodine
was veteran of the war and bricklayer by
trade. When the confagration swept away
third of this town in November, 1885, it
created a boom for bricklayers, carpenters,
etc, and among the wOrkmen who locked to
the town was Bodine He left his wife and
family at Danville. He worked here for the
Hickman Bros In October 1884, BOdne
suddenly disappeared and his family has
never heard from him since. They were
told that his dead body was found on the
mountain between this town and Brandon
ville but do not know what became of it.
Mr.. Sloan is now engaged in collecting evi-
dence to show that the body was found as re-
ported and to this end will spend time here
and at Mahanoy City, Brandonville and
Ringtown. Thus far he has not met with
any success, save meeting with people who
remember that Bodine disappeared and has
not been heard of since but they have no
recollection of the mans body having been
found on the mountain.
