BRAKEMAN KILLED

  Charles Youngman, a Pennsylvania railroad brakeman was instantly 
killed at 5 o'clock last evening on the East Hollidaysburg freight 
yards.  He was riding a draft of cars down over the "hump" after being 
weighed, and while applying the brakes, the chain broke, throwing him 
off the car to the rail below.  His chest and right arm were crushed 
and death was instantaneous.  The remains were removed to T. B. 
McFarland's morgue.  Mr. Youngman was 28 years of age.  He leaves a 
wife and one child.  The deceased was a member of the First 
Presbyterian church of Huntingdon and was a highly exemplary young man.  
The funeral services will be held at his late home, on First street, 
Hollidaysburg, tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock, and the remains will 
be taken on the 11 o'clock train to Huntingdon, where interment will be 
made.
