SAD TRAGEDY AT DICKSON.
Man and Woman Fall from Trestle
and Meet Death-Mystery
Surrounding the Case.

A man, believed to be William
ClemOns, of Priceburg, and n woman,
supposed to be Jane Edwards, of
Olyphant, fell from the ontario and
Western railway trestle crossing the
Delaware and Hudson tracks at Dick
son City last night and We're both
killed. the man probably dying in
stantly and the woman passing away
within a hall hour after the accident.
The trestle at this point is about 100
feet long and twenty-five feet high
and is much used by pedestrians in
the daytime but is dangerous place
at night. A Polandar and his wife
were crossing the trestle shortly after
10 o'clock last night and noticing an
umbl ella lying near the edge about
the center were prompted to look
down on the tracks below.
There they saw the bodies of man
and woman lying close together. They
hastCncd to the other side and notified
a young man whom they met. He ran
down the bank on to the tracks and
found that the man was dead and
that the woman was groaning terri
bly, as if in great pain.
He moved the body or the man and
the woman off the tracks out of the
way OF passing trains and then
alarmed the neighborhood. Or. Ken
nedy, of Priceburg, was hastily sum-
.moncd. but the woman died just after
he reached her. Before she passed
away she mumbled what he took to be
the words, Jane Edwards of Olyph-
ant" which is presumed to be her
name.
Undertaken d. d. Jones was sum-
moned and removed the bodies to his
North Scranton undertaking establish
ment, where a detailed description of
both was obtained, as follows:
Managed between So and so years;
| hair grey and cut very short; NOUS
tache, grey and stubby; feet inches
high, and weighs 140 pounds; wore a
| black sack suit, turn down collar,
black tie, with red white and blue fig
ure, white shirt with ColOred bosom,
black lace shoes and white straw hat.
| Was evidently a miner from the ap-
| pearance of his hands. Nothing found
on person but ninety cents in small
| change.
| Woman-Aged about so years; sandy
| hair and light eyes; wore a black fig
| uItu uItSS, DldCh sim llllllS, lON SllOtS
| and black hat; about feet inches
high and weighed about $50 pounds,
and had a gold band ling on her left
| hand. Nothing found on person but
a fifty-cent piece.
| The probable theory of the accident
is that while crossing the trestle one
of the two made a misstep and, catch
ing hold of the other for support, In
the struggle to maintain their balance
both fell off. Both must have landed
on their heads as the mans neck is
broken and the woman's skull frac-
| tured.
1t is very improbable that they were
struck by a train as the engineer
would in all probability have seer
them. The theory of foul play is ais
secuted. Coroner Roberts has been in
formed of the affair and will conduc
an investigation to-day.
The body of the man was positively
identified at o'clock this morning by
| John Robinson of North Scranton a:
being that of WilliaE' Clemons,
| WidoWer from PeckVilie. The identit,
of the women was not established a
an early hour this morning.
