ANDREW WALSH KILLED.
Lackawanna Brakeman Run Over
by a Car, Last Night, Near
Carlucci's Stone Yard.

Andrew Walsh, aged 26 years. of
Pittston, brakeman on the Lacka-
wanna railroad, was instantly killed
last night, shortly after 9 o'clock, in
the West Scranton yard, near Carluc-
els stone works.
Walsh had been running for some
time past on a freight train between
Scranton and Kingston on the Blooms
burg division. Last night. at the above
mentioned time he was standing on
the bumpers between two gondOla cars
forming part of a train which was
just about to be pulled into a switch,
midway between Scranton street and
the stone bridge.
1t appears that the two cars We're
imperfectly coupled and when Walsh
gave the signal to start, they parted.
This caused him to fall On the track
before he could hold himself up, and
the rear car, which had been given a
certain start passed over his body be-
fore it stopped.
Some of the other trainmen rushed
to his assistance, but he was found to
be dead, the body being frightfully
mutilated. One leg and one arm were
completely severed and the trunk was
nearly cut i'm twain. The remains were
taken to the LackaWanna avenue sta
tion. where they were later viewed by
Coroner Roberts, who gave permission
to have them moved to Pittston, which
was done.
