FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT . — A little
after six ololock on Friday evening
while trying to make his way home
from Luean crossing to Anse. Craig,
William McKenzie, is middle-aged far -
neer, living on the 41h concession of
East Williams, about three miles from
Adm. Craig, met with is ternble acci-
dent winch an minated in death. The
deceased and Mrs. 5'IcKenzie were in
London on Friday transacting some
business. ie left London to return
home on the London, Eldron Se Bruce
train ea IMO o'clock on tho afternoon
of that day, and on arriving at Lucan
Crossing found that the main line train
on the northern division was away be -
Mini time, He started to walk home
on the track, it is believed, but had
not gone far when he was overtaken
by a train and terribly mangled. A
blinding snow storm was raging at the
time, so that it was impossible for
either engineer or fireman to observe
any person on the track, if they °meld
have seen throagh the frost covered
windows of the cab, which was almost
impossible. No doubt the raging of
the storm and the fact that the de-
ceased had his head well ratified up
prevented him from hearing or seeing
the train until it was too late to save
himself. The trainmen had no inti-
mation that a human life had been
crushed out under the ponderous
wheels of the big engine, and if they
telt any Munk at the time they only
thought it was another snceredritt that
had been ploughed through. The bOdy
was not discovered until tbe foilowing
morning, when 11 was found partly
covered with snow and mangled al-
most beyond recogaition. The re-
mains were picked up and carried
back to the crossing station as careful-
ly and tenderly as circiattstainces
would permitThe authorities of
Allem Oraig were 'notified of the acci-
dent and death abont noon, and the
remains vvero taken there in the even.
mg, when it WW1 decided to hold an
inquest. Mrs, McKenzie reniained
in London on Friday, stopping with
friends in London South until Satter -
day afterneem, when she also started,
for borne via the fluron &i 13ruce, en-
tieely oblivious of the lamentable
death which had overtielten her hue -
bated. At 'Lunn Crossing the sad
news Was broken to her by' a friend,
awl she Was oyercome with grief.
The same train vvluch carrierl ber to
Ailia Craig had en board the remains
of the bread -winner of her
whom she had parted With scarcely
