SATURDAY EVENING, TEC. 24, 1BB1-
Troublesome Trains.
A passenger train en the Pennsjlvania,
railroad, rumiin at the rate of fifty
miles an hour, from Xew Yerk te Phil
adelphia, last evening came into colli
sion with a freight train that it found
en the track, and only a speedy reversal
of the brakes saved the lives of the pas
sengers, the locomotive and four Pullman
cars being pretty well smashed. Presi
dent Roberts and Vice President
Cassatt were en 1 ml the train, and we
are glad te hear ii.and glad that they
escaped unhurt : for there is nothing
like a pc-r.-nnu! experience of this kind
te give a railroad officer a lively sense of
the need fur making certain prevision
against :.tu-h disagreeable engagements
between ii.iin.- upon a well conducted
railroad. Ne railroad !ia.j Awr.l higher

It is te be a gieeu Christmas and maybe

FATAL ACCIDENT.
A JIA r.Kl.lJ3 DtJW-V STA111S.
I'racturcs His SUull Corener's Inn,uct.
Patrick McDonald, aged 37 years, who
for a month past has been in the employ
of Keller & ltcilly, contractors, en their
new work above the city, met with a fatal
accident last night. He was bearding with
Patrick Corcoran, at Dillerville, and he was
paid elf en Thursday. Yesterday he did
net work and came home about four
o'cleek in the afternoon, lie complained
of feeling unwell and wens up stairs te
his toeui, where seated en his bed, he
talked awhile with Lewis Smith. In a bhert
time he arose and accidentally fell down
the flight of stairs leading te "the ground
iloer, fracturing his skull. lie was
picked up in an unconscious condition and
Dr. S. T. Davis sent for. lie arrived in a
short time, but pronounced the case a
hopeless one. Tin; man lingered until
near 8 o'cleek when he died, lie did net
speak from the time he was hurt, having
been unconscious. About midnight Coro Core
ner Mibhler was notified, and at 1 o'clock
this morning he went te Dillerville, and
held an inquest en the remains.
Dr. J. A. Fitzpatiick, who aecen-pauicd
the coroner and acted as his surgeon,
made an examination of the. body, and
found that the back part of the skull had
been badly fractured ; that one of the
large arteries had been severed and tint
bleed was issuing from the left .ear. The
entiie back of tlm corps,: wi
also badly bruised, showing that tbv man
hail fallen down stair:', backwards. This
is accounted for by the fact that the man
was lame, having had his ankle broke::
some time age in a coal mine. lie preb
ably made a misstep at tin head of the
stairs, and, clutching at the wall in Mire
himself, probably turned around and fell
backwards. It was also in evidence that
the man had been drinking dining the
day, but was net drunk, lie was a native
of county Maye, Ireland; came recently
from Ashland, Schuylkill county ; is a
widower and has a daughter aged about
six years ; his father lives at Ceutralia,
Columbia county, Pa.; and has two or
three brothers living iu the coal regions.
After hearing the evidence the ee: ener's
jury rendered a verdict that Patiiek Me
Donald came te his death from fr.ielur of
the skull by an accidental fall.
I !is comrades telegraphed the news of
the accident te McDonald':; father, and
held the remains subject te his disposal.
Corener Mishler offered te lake charge of
and have them interred at the expense of
the county, but his fellow workmen say
that unless the outlier erdeis etherwbe,
they will have the remains interr- d at. their
own expense, and with proper lelie.ieus
ierviee-, in St. Mary's cemetery.
