Charles LongweII and Ned Harrigan
Ground to Pieces by a B. & O.
Excursion Train Saturday Night
at Paden City.

A shocking and deplorable ac-
cident occurred Saturday night at
Paden City, on the B. & o. rail
road, which resulted in the instant
death of Charles Longwell and
Ned Harrigan, and the serious in
juring of William Kent. The three
young men were residents of New
Martinsville, and had spent the
evening here and at Paden City.
About II o'clock they started
on foot from Paden City for their
respective homes, and it is said
they were all under the influence
of liquor at the time they took
their departure. A short distance
north of Paden City the trio laid
down to take a sleep, and. unfOrtu-
nately for Longwell and Harrigan,
they selected the railroad track.
About midnight the excursion
train en- route to Pittsburg run
the young men down, killing them
instantly.
Young Kent, who was alseep
alongside the track, was awakened
by the approaching train, but not
in time to rescue his companions.
However, he made a heroic at
tempt to save them from the hor-
rible and shocking death, and in
his efforts came near losing his
own life. He was struck by the
engine and rendered unconscious
for a time, but will recover.
The bodies of young Longwell
and Harrigan were literally cut to
pieces by the rapidly moving train
which consisted of seven coaches.
The entire train passed over their
bodies. The remains of the two
unfortunate young men were
gathered up by kind friends, and
tenderly conveyed to their sadden-
ed homes at New Martinsville.
Young Kent was given medical
attention as soon as a physician
could be secured, and made as
comfortable as possible. He was
resting this afternoon as well as
could be expected. He is severely
cut about the head and badly
bruised about the body. He had
very close call for his life. and it
is little short of a miracle that he,
too, was not run down by the train
and killed.
The two young men that lost
their lives were unmarried, and
were about % years old. Their
untimely and shocking death
was naturally a severe blow to
their parents and other relatives,
and should be a warning to all
other young men who are in the
habit of indulging in strong
drink. The majority of the num-
erous accidents that occur almost
daily throughout the country on
railroads, in which the victims
are run down while asleep on the
track, are intoxicated.
1t is a most deplorable state Of
affairs, but. nevertheless, it is the
truth.
Another Account.
A frightful railroad accident
occurred at Paden crossing, a
small flag station four miles north
of this city, at midnight Satur-
day night.
Ned Harrigan, Charles Long
we'll and Newton Kent. all young
men Of New Martinsville. were in
Sistersville some time Saturday
evening, and became intoxicated,

last street car and had started to
walk home on the railroad, but
when they reached Paden crossing
they laid down on the track and
fell asleep, and were struck by
the special excursion train some
time after Il o'clock.
A Mr.. Paden, who lives a short
distance from the scene Of the
accident, says that he heard the
boys swearing just a short time
before the train came, and that
after it had passed he heard one
of them calling the others, but
hearing nc reply supposed that
, some of them had boarded the
train, but on going to his barn yes
terday morning he found Kent ly-
ing there badly bruised, but no
bones had been broken. Kent in
! formed him that he was unable to
walk. and asked him to 60 down
to the track and see what had be-
come of the other boys who had
been with him, as he had been un-
able to find them in the night,
owing to his injuries. Mr.. Paden
went to the crossing, and hOrri-
bic sight met his eyes, as the other
two boys were ground to pieces
and neither Of them recognizable,
as both heads were ground to
pieces and no part Of their face
left. The bodies were also terri
bly, cut and crushed and dismem-
bered until it was impossible to
tell them apart.
Kent's story of the accident is
that they all had been drinking,
and were starting home when the
two who were killed laid down on
the track and refused to 60 on,
and Kent says that he sat down on
one end of ties near them and
also fell asleep, and was awakened
by the noise from the train which
was within a few yards of him
when he awoke; that he grabbed
both of the boys and tried to drag
them from the track when the
train struck him.
Kent and Mr.. Paden say that
the train did not whistle for the
crossing, and if it had they might
have had time to get off the track.
The trunks of the two boys
were found at least 100 yards
from where they were struck, and
both were very near each other,
but parts of both bodies were
found scattered along the track
for a distance of half a mile from
the crossing.
Harry Wayman, of the Whar-
ton-Ogdin undertaking parlors,
New Martinsville, went to the
scene of the killing at once and
gathered up the remains as best
he could, but it was impossible to
tell one from the other, so both
were placed in the same casket.
Squire Robinson, Of New Mar
tinsville, was called at the request
of Joseph Longwell, father of the
boy who was killed, and an in
quest is being held over the bod

All three of the boys are known
here. and have been rather wild.
Young Harrigan had been out OF
jail on bond but a short time, hav-
ing been arrested for burglary
about four months ago, and the
other boys are rather wild.
