A Train on Murder Bent.

  The mail train on the Pennsylvania Railroad, due at Pittsburg at 5:15 
P.M. Monday, made a terrible record for itself.  At Tyrone it killed 
Yardmaster Adam Wolfgang, and probably fatally injured Robert Waley, 
conductor, of Altoona.  They were struck by the engine while standing 
on the track.  At Dennis' Creek, ten miles east of Pittsburg, the train 
ran over and killed two men, supposed to be Hungarian laborers, who 
stepped out of their cabins on the track, directly in front of the 
engine.
