FELL 40 FERT TO DEATH
LAFAYETTE INGRAM JUMPED
FROM TRAIN.
THOUGHT HIMSELF ON SOLID
GROUND. BUT WENT THROUGH
A TRESTLE-THE FUNERAL
THIS AFTERNOON.

The remains of Lafayette Ingram,
who met death at Elizabeth, N. j., on
Wednesday night last, arrived in this
city yesterday afternoon and with them
an interesting story.
On Tuesday last Ingram, in company
with James McGuigan, left Wilmington
for New York, where they hoped to
find employment. They had formerly
worked at Bancroft and Sons mills.
Not having an abundance of money,
they decided TO beat their way on
Wednesday night AS they were near
ing Elizabeth. n. J.. Ingram thought II
advisable to leave the train before en-
tering the city, as they would no doubt
be caught.
The train had slowed up, and In
gram. imagining that the train was
running on solid ground, jumped from
it. McGuigan was about to follow his
companion when he noticed that he
had disappeared. Hesitating for a few
minutes, he also left the train and
landed without injury, but when he re-
turned to find his friend he saw that he
had gone through a trestle. Going
down a steep embankment he found
Ingram lying in the road under the
trestle. Ingram had leaped between
two of the ties and fell a distance Ol
forty-five feet.
Although badly injured, he displayed
great nerve and will power, walking
half a mile or more, with the assist
ance of his friend, to the police station
in Elizabeth. Thence he was sent tC
the General Hospital, where he dice
shortly after being admitted.
His family was not notified of hi
death Immediately, and when william
R. Fox, who was the undertaken en-
gagged, went after the body. those II
charge of the corpse refused to let hin
have it. Neither would they allow hin
to embalm it. After considerable
trouble, however, Mr.. Fox got posses
sion of the body and brought it to thi
city. 1t had not been embalmed a
Elizabeth, and had so far decomposel
that it was impossible to delay burial
Services were held at the home o
his parents. No. S19 Clayton street, a
1880 o'clock this afternoon.
Ingram is survived by his parents
John and Mary Ingram, of No. S19 Clay
ton street, a wife and the following
brothers and sisters: William Ingram
Of Philadelphia Mrs. Emma keenan,
No. 1919 West Fifth street. and Mrs
Anna Marsden, of No. SlI Clayto

sell, right tackle; Heal, right guard (;
