nal injuries from the wheels passing over
his breast. Although im a precarious
coudition, he was taken to his home
where he is improving as well as could
be expected.
We were sorry to hear that our good
friend Cyrus should have such a misfor-
tane befall him, and especially after hav-
ing passed through a long siege of sick-
ness, this spring.
CONDUCTOR KILLED.
Freight conductor Duprynne was killed
at Swengel, on Saturday, 5, whileshifting
cars. The eogine was on the main
track, and a car to be shifted stood on
the switch; he grabbed a plank and held
it against this car so the engine could
approach and move against the other
end and thus start the car to where it
was wanted. Unfortunately the strain
upon the plank was so great as to cause
it to bend and fasten Duprynne against
the freight car, crushiog his ribs and
causing such other internal injuries that
he expired next moroing.
Duprynpe was an Italian, and had been
on our road a long time. He was an
obliging and well mannered gentleman,
liked by all. He was brought to this
country when a small boy, under the
padr system. stolen from his native
land and put out here to travel with an
organ grinder. Some years ago he and
two other Italian boys got into a freight
wreck at Renovo, in which his two com-
panions were killed and himself severely
injured. He was placed in the railroad
company’s hospital at the above place
for treatment, and sahsequently becam
an employe of the road, and by his good
behaviour was promoted, abouta year
ago, as freight conductor on the
between Moantandon and Bellefonte. He
was boried at Lewisburg, and was aged
about 35 years.
