EDWARD BOWMAN KILLED BY
TRAIN.

Edward Donivan, 23-year-oid quar-
~ worker, was instantly killed last
Saturday morning about 1880 O'Clock
when the eastbound Capitol Limited,
crack passenger train of the b. & o.,
struck him as he sat huddled in the
middle of the tracks in a deep cut at
Spout Spring, near Engle's. The
The engine picked him up bodily and
hurled him against the Jagged rock
walls of the cut, battering his skull
to pulp and opening the skull. His
body, while crushed and broken, suf-
instantaneous. The body was taken
to the home of an uncle, George
Donivan, near the scene of the trag-
edy.
The engineer of the Capitol Lin
tied. after he had stopped his train,
stated that he saw Donivan sitting in
the middle of the track just ahead as
he drove his engine around sharp
curve into the cut. He whistled
frantically, but Donivan made no
move, and the distance was too short
to do more than start slowing down.
Donivan according to companions,
had been drinking lately, and this
was suggested as the cause of his
stupor.
Undertakers Echols, of Harpers
Ferry, and M. T. Strider. of Charles
Town, took the mangled remains
from the uncle's home to Harpers
Ferry morgue. Prosecuting Attor-
ney John T. Porterfield stated that
no inquest was necessary after an in
vestigation had been conducted at
first hand. No belief of attempted
suicide is held
Donivan had been employed for
months at Potomac Lime and Stone
Company's quarry. His home, and
his father, Charles Donivan, are at
Elkton. Va, although the family liv-
ed at Duffields several years ago. An
other uncle, Richard Donivan, lives
near Engle's.

WILL OPEN TWO STATIONS.

TRANSFORMATION experts throughout
the country are interested in the pro-
posed introduction of motor-busses
bv the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad IN
New York. to deliver and assemble
its passengers in that city when the
company's lease on the Pennsylvania
passenger station expired August 81,
Two passenger stations are establish
ed. one at the Waldorf-Astor Hotel
building and the other in the Per
ahing Square building. Official an
nouncement of the B. Il O.'s plans
are being made this week.
The eompany's officials are work
ing out an elaborate motor-coach
system, which will haul passengers
into New York City from the roads
terminals in Jersey City.
The coaches, which are expected to
be the most modern and luxurious
yet manufactured, will take on their
passengers at the Jersey City train
sheds, and will proceed over desig.
mated routes in Manhattan to both
uptown and downtown destinations.
Establishment of two mid-city sta
tions, which, it is understood, will be
complete in every respect, is con-
sidered one of the salient features OF
the plan in that it provides two cen
trally located points of embarkation
where only one served before.
The more revolutionary phase OF
the plan, however, at least in the
minds of transportation experts, i.
that which contmplates a flexible
scheme of delivering passengers from
train terminals to a wide choice of
final destinations within a great CITY
by means of motor coaches.
