smuggled in 100 pounds of coffee the
night before.
Tired as he was, the deputy hitched
up his team. and arrived at the farm.
ers place just before dark. The dep

was hit by northbound express train. His
body was thrown against pillar and re-

great was the momentum OF the train that

of all the cars and fell from the rear coach,
by some odd chance, directly on the trip

moving train to such a sudden stop that
passengers were thrown from their seats.
Pellegrino, who lived In Jersey City. was
working with a squad of men clearing rub-
bish from the tracks. He was about fifty
feet south OF the 59th street station, when
southbound express train was announced
by the lookout. Peilegrino stepped be-
tween the pillars to point OF safety. Then.
in ignorance of the train coming In the
other direction, went step too far, direct
