KILLED on A TRESTLE.-As stated,
Ezemore Jordan, colored, aged twelve
years, who lived in Washington, was
killed on the Fort Runyon tres lie, about
mile below the Long Bridge, by &
train at 1920 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Elzemore had come into Vr-
GINA black berrying, with his brother,
lad several years older than he. On
their return trip they followed the rail-
road track, and when the Fort Runyon
tre3tle was reached Elzemore persisted
IN walking upon the track against his
brothers wishes. Finally the elder
brother got on the trestle, also, and
soon after saw that trains were coming
IN both directions. The older boy Jump
ed 10 the ground and saved his life, but
ElsmoTe. overcome with fear, did not
move, and was struck by the train and
thrown from the trestle into pool OF
sisgnaut water ten or twelve feet be.
low Trackmaster II. J. Mills notified
the coroner at Rosslyn. Engineer Davis
mad charge of the locomotive and Cou-
ductor Newman OF the train. No blame
Is attached to them, however, as there
is sharp curve just beyond the scene
Of the accident, making it impossible to
see the treste until the train is upon it,
There was no excuse for the youths
walking on the track, as good walk is
laid along one side of the trestle.
