TYRONE TOPICS.

At about 11 o'clock Thursday Mr. Wm. Stewart, an employe of the
railroad company's machine shops, while adjusting a crossbeam, was
caught between the deadwoods by another car being pushed against the
one which he was working at, crushing his chest on the left side,
breaking five ribs and bursting the left lung.  The unfortunate man
suffered intense pain til 5.30 o'clock, when death put an end to his
suffering.  He was upward of fifty years of age, and leaves a wife and
six children to mourn his sad and sudden taking off.  He was conscious
to the last, and, apprehending his approaching dissolution, bade his
friends farewell and breathed his last.  The immediate cause of his
death was hemorrhage from the crushed iung.
