HORRIBLE
ACCIDENT
Judge G. A. Mccormick
and Daughter Struck
By T.. & @. Train.
Terrible Accident Occurs at
Crossing on 0wlngSylIIe Pike.

One of the most distressing ac-
cidents that ever happened in
Montgomery county occurred at
the Owingsville pike crossing last
Thursday when the West-bound
@. & o., train No. Is, due at Mt.
Sterling at 7:12 a. M, but which
on that day was about one hour
and one-half late, struck the buggy
in which County Judge G. A. Nc
Cormick and his daughter, Miss
Florence, were on their way to
this city. Miss Florence was kill
ed almost instantly, the buggy
completely demolished, the horse
killed and the Judge receiving a
terrible fracture of the skull
Strange to say, while the horse
was knocked several feet off the
track, the bodies of both the Judge
and his daughter were carried
about two hundred yards from
the crossing on the cow-catcher of
the engine. AS soon as the train
could be stopped the crew rushed
forward and did all they could un-
der the circumstances, they placed
the victims in the baggage car and
brought them to the depot where
physicians were hurriedly sum
moned. The body of Miss Nc
Cormick was taken to the under
taking establishment of Sutton &
Eastin and Judge Mccormick was
taken to the Office of one of the
attending physicians and later he
was removed to the residence of
his cousin, Mr.. John Greenwade,
on North Maysville street.
Ollie N. Carr, a former Mt.
Sterling man, but who has been
living in Lexington for several
years, was the engineer in charge
of the train said that his fireman
yelled at him just as they were
going over the crossing and that
he grabbed the brakes but being
on the opposite side from which
the Judge and his daughter were
approaching did not see them I'M
til after the train was stopped
some two hundred yards beyond
the crossing. This is one of
the most dangerous crossings in
the county and coming toward Mt.
Sterling it is impossible to see an
approaching train until nearly or
