Struck by an Engine.

  Harry Stewart, one of the class who have no home, after walking over 
the mountain above the tunnel this morning, stepped on the track on 
this side of it to walk to this place.  As he did so an engine emerged 
from the tunnel and struck him before he noticed it, producing a 
fracture of his right leg and internal injuries which will likely prove 
fatal.  He is also badly bruised and cut about the back and face.  The 
unfortunate man was brought to this city on day express and taken to 
the hospital where he is doing as well as can be expected.

Died at the Hospital.

  Harry Stewart, the man who was hurt on the railroad beyond Cresson 
yesterday morning, died from his injuries, at the hospital, at 3:30 
this morning.  The unfortunate man was about 30 years of age and does 
not seem to have had either a home or friends.  The body was given into 
the hands of Undertaker Arthur for burial.
