being shockingly mangled by the cars.
While attempting to cross the Atlantic &
Great Western track opposito tbo pawner

became wedged under the rail in such a
manner that it could not be extricate it.

in a fw leet of bitn. At this junction iMr
Herman, with the agony ot derperatioo
made a final effort and wrenched bis foot
away, leaving too boot fast lo tbe rail. He
roiled over barely in time to clear the track
aa tbe wheel grazed' bia person. Tbe box
of the car struck blm on the side, but not
with sufficient lorco to do much Injury.
Tbe accident was witnessed by hundreds ot
his friends and acquaintances, wbo wera
powerless to render any assistance, but wbo
