time carry out what IS thought 10 be the
spirit OF the acts OF Congress on the
subject The letter Of The Commissioners

ings stand at the intersection IF streets
and avenues. as in the ease mentioned,
partly on the street and parity on tbs

ask that The proposed amendment be
adopted In the interest Of clearness of
statement. leaving no room for differ

While a hundred commuters, many Of

a young electrician of Mount Vernon,
was struck by a locomotive in front Of
the BronxviIIe station at o'clock yes
terday evening and then disappeared IN
der the engine
Several women cried out III alarm,
while men rushed toward the spot ex-
pectiug TO find the mangIed remains Of
the young man. but instead they heard
his cries of Please help me, I am
dying. please do something"
Engineer Pye and Conductor Beckwith
were quickly under the engine. and to
their horror discovered Huysler curled
up under the pilot. his legs were twisted
around the aXIes OF The pony trucks
while mis- head was damned up in the
sharp corner of the pilot. Efforts were
made by passengers and the train crew
to rescue him. but they proved incf-
1ectusi. All this time the young man
was telling the railroad men what 10 do.
IT is crushing me. oh, help me,

hand. The wrecker made the run in fast
er time than it ever travelled before. =
hole was dug around the pilot of the
engine by trainmen and passengers. who
worked like mad. and then the big crane
of the wrecking car lifted the forward
trucks of the big Vanderbilt engine high
OF the tracks.
Huysler was badly crushed by the
trucks and IL was with great difficulty
that he was released He was con
scious all the time. although his righl
