of the affair this morning. The old
gateman in charge of the crossing,
who leaves work at $3.50 o'clock
each night, pointed out the pieces of
the wagon he had picked up along
the track and crossing and said he
was sure that a man must have been
struck by a train and his wagon
smashed, but he could not understand
why some one did not say something
in regard to the matter. Other peo-I
pie along New Brunswick avenue
were also of the opinion that some
