Henry TOll1Ver. Old and Deaf, Walked
the Il. and .. Track.
Henry Tolliver, an old colored man, who
is We'll known about Berning, was struck
by engine 272 on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad near Benning about & o'clock yes
terday, and was SO badly injured that he
struck. Tolliver was about sixty-five years
old, and lived in a little cabin near the
District line until short time ago, when
he moved back to Benning. Yesterday he
was walking along the track, and being
deaf he could not hear warnings sounded
by the engineer. Engineer James Hogarth
saw the old man on the track, but he did
not know of his aff1iction. 1t is not an un-
usual thing for pedestrians to walk on the
track and get out of the way at the las,
minute, and this is what the engineer ex-
pected the old man to do. But when the
latter failed to heed the warning the
engineer reversed his engine and then
called from the cabin window, Lookout -
An instant later the engine struck the old
man, and he was thrown from the track tC
meath the tracks, and despite the fact tina
he was fatally injured he managed t
crawl from the water to the bank and ash
a track-Walker to assist him. AS soon as
the engine drawing a number of stock cars
had stopped, the trainmen went to the ole
mans assistance and made him as com
