ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE RAILROAD.

Lewis Campbell Received Fatal Injuries Near South Fork.

  Lewis Campbell, aged about 26 years, was run down by a train near South Fork 
early yesterday morning and fatally injured.  It is not known what train 
struck the unfortunate man.  He was found by a trackwalker.  His skull was 
fractured and both feet cut off.  The injured man was removed to the Memorial 
hospital at Johnstown, where he died at 6 o'clock.  In one of his pockets was 
found a copy of the Machinists' journal, and on the margin of one of the 
leaves was written the following: "My name is Lewis Campbell.  My home is at 
No. 67 Lincoln avenue, Springfield, O., and my father is John Campbell.  Send 
me to my home."
  The dead man was a fireman by occupation and had been working at Windber, 
Somerset county, for the Berwind-White Coal company from September 16 until 
Monday afternoon, when he was paid off.  He received $12, of which amount but 
$3.58 were found.
