He was driving ove r tin track of the Ilaz lcton branch of the Pennsylvania railroad, which runs near his barn, when a swiftly moving freight train came along. The horse was struck by the locomotive, thrown about thirty feet and instantly killed. He and the buggy were hurled to the opposite side of the track. Rider was carried into the house and the Company's physician, Dr. Vastine and the family physician, Dr. Sharpless, were sent for. An examination of his injuries revealed that his left thigh was broken, and that he had sustained several ugly cuts. His condition is not consid ered fatal. The carriage was re- ciuce-i to spli"ters. l he engineer observed Rider driving on the track and blew the whistle several times but he did not hear it.
