DRAGGED BY A TRAIN.--Peopls on
Klng street shortly before nine o'clock
this morning we're somewhat alarmed
at seeing youth usmed Norman
Evans clinging to the railing OF an
electric train with his feet scraping the
cobble stones. He wac carried 10 that
position from Washington to Royal
street, aud when the train finaily stop
ped he relaxed bis hold upon the rail-
ing and hobbled on his knees 1t was
at first supposed that be had been
seriously hurt, but he soon regained his
feet. when il was seen that apart from
some scratches be YVES not materially
injured. When questioned he said he
had attempted to slight from the rear
car and had fallen, and that he had
caught the hand railing. The cars in
the meantime began to go too fast for
him TO let go with safety and he was
compelled to bold on while his feet
trailed on the cobble stones. The
fronts of both shoes from the toes up
were worn almost off by the friction
produced. II is thought by SOME that
he attempted to board the train and
missed bis footing, and that while his
hands clutched the railing bis feet drag
gsd the street.
