STRUCK BY A LOCOMOTIVE
William Miller Injured, His Horse Killed
and the Wagon Demolished.
ACCIDENT AT B. 6 0. CROSSING
At Intersection of Second and
HaWley Streets.
BREAD, PIES AND CAKES SCATTERED

William Miller, aged 10 years, of No.
904 West Eighth street, was badly in.
jured, a horse he was driving was
instantly killed and bakers delivery
wagon in which he was riding was
wrecked, about lis O'Clock Tuesday
morning, at the second street crossing Of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, by
northbound Royal Blue express train
No. 5l2, which was due at Delaware
avenue station at Sol O'Clock, but was
more than an hour late. Miller had
miraculous escape from instant death,
and, strange to relate, his injuries al
not considered serious. The horse was
valued at $3.50 and the wagon at $500,
while in the wagon was $40 woi th of
bread, pies, cakes, &C., which were SO
badly damaged that they were worth
comparatively nothing after the ACCT
dent.
Miller is in the employ of his father,
Henry Miller, baker, at No. 204 West
Eighth street, and, according to his
custom, was out Tuesday morning early
delivering bread, pies, CAKES, &c., to
customers. Shortly after 6 O'Clock he
started for Silverbrook, going by way
of Second street, and reached the rail-
road tracks just as the express came
laundering along. Owing to the fact
that the road is low at that POINT and
there is curve short distance below,
he did not see the train until too late.
As his wagon was making noise rum
ming over the frozen ground he was not
able to hear the train until it was
near. When he drove on the track he
realized, for the first that his life was
in danger, and made desperate effort
to get across, but was not successful.
The horse was partly across and the
front part of the wagon was between
the rails when the locomotive struck
1T. The horse was thrown violently to
one side and probably had its neck
broken. The wagon was tossed some
distance ahead ard fragments scattered
about, while Miller, who was in the
front of the wagon, was thrown along
side the track, falling less than foot
from the rail. He was dazed and re-
manned lying where he fell, the wheels
almost grazing his body, until the
train passed.
As soon as possible the train was
brought TO a standstill and ran back to
the scene of the accident. The train
| men found that Miller had not been
fatally injured and summoned a car
IiRge, in which he was sent to his
home. DR.. Jones was in attendance.
He is pretty badly bruised about the
head and body and has cut over the
left eye. He is able to sit up.
