LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

  Reuben Houser, of Tyrone, a flagman on the Bald Eagle Valley 
railroad, was run over and killed in the Lock Haven yard on Wednesday 
evening of last week.  His body was so horribly mutilated and torn 
asunder that its parts had to be left where they were until an 
undertaker came with a coffin and gathered them up piece by piece.  He 
was aged almost 40 years and leaves a wife and five children to mourn 
after him.  He was a member of the Relief Department from which source 
his wife will receive one thousand dollars.
