One result of the recent heavy falls

ous and horrible death of Brakeman

urday night, about 9.30 o'clock. Liv-
ingstnne was one of the London, Huron
SL Brtlep,way freight crew, ax_d met his
death while on `duty in the railway
yards at Hensall.
The accident occurred through Liv-
ington mistaking, in the insufficient
light, a cattle guard pecked with snow
as part of the solid roadbed. He wag
assisting in the sbuuting of ears, and
the work was being hurried, as the
crew were a day late because of the
heavy snpwstorms. A car had to be
"kicked," into the Heusall siding, in
the railway man's parlance, and Liv
ingstone.teas in the act of drawing a
coupling pin from between two cats
while the whole train was being slowly
shunted. He had to move along while
pulling the pin, when he suddenly sank
in the deep snow in the cattle guard
In en instant the fatal ear following
had done its work. The body was bad.

Grief-stricken comrades of the dead
man tenderly gathered up the remains.

noon his good nature was again re
