sufferer for the last two years, yet in
the midst Of her great sufferings she
was able to trust in the Advise God

stop for the Princeton junction but

make the stop, and ii he was struck by
the tell tales which are the strings
that hang across the track and give
warning of an overhead bridge, he did
not notice them. The result was that
the man as the train passed under this
bridge was struck by the overhanging
timbers and knocked senseless. A big
cash was cut in his left cheek and a
piece Of flesh about the size of silver
dollar was taken out of his scalp, leav-
ing the bone exposed. Poor O'Brien
was knocked senseless to the runaway
of the car upon which he was stand

swept from the car to the ground be-
low. His lantern fell down between
the cars and he lay out on top until he
recovered his senses sufficient to make
his way to the caboose where the
others of the crew bound up his bleed

he was brought in here for medical
treatment. A company physician
dressed his injuries at about s o'clock
