Killed hv a Locomotive.

A light locomotive, No. GAL, of the
Southern Railway, in charge Of Engineer
Carey Crump, struck and killed an UNI
known man 10 Four-mile run about a
quarter past eight o'clock this morning.
From ali that can be learned, the killing
was purely accidental. The unfortunate
man was walking on the northbOund
track when a Chesapeake and Ohio train
ON its way to Washington hove in sight
The engineer sounded his whistle as a
warning, when the stranger stepped
from the nOrthbOund to the southbound
track in front of the light engine on
its way to this city. The stranger was
struck, knocked some distance and killed
instantly. A terrible wound was sus-
tanned on the head, as well as internal
injuries. The body was picked up by
some parties who witnessed the accident
and laid by the side of the track, after
which Coroner Birrell, of the county,
was notified. The evidence was sub
stantially as given above, and he deemed
an inquest unnecessary. The remains
were brought to Mr.. b. Wheatley's I'M
dertaking establishment in this city
where they will remain until tomorrow,
when, if nobody claims them, they will
be inferred in the county. The dead
man appeared to have been between
forty and fifty years of age.
GSince the above was in type search
of the body of the man was made when
IL was ascertained that James Lake was
the name of the unfortunate, and that
he came from Atlantic City. A card in
one of his pockets showed he was a
member of Lodge PIT, Brotherhood of
Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers
of that place. A telegram was sent to
Atlantic City, but no answer has been
received. /
