Killed Near Lilly's Station.

The second section of the Fast Line which arrived in Altoona shortly 
after 12 o'clock yesterday morning ran over and killed a man near 
Lilly's station.  Emanuel Brindle is the name of a coal miner who lives 
there.  As the train was about fifty yards east of the tower at that 
point the engineer noticed a man lying on the outside of the track and 
very near it.  He moved slightly and it was thought rolled out of the 
way, but the engine struck his head, cutting off one side of it.  He 
was picked up and carried to the tower, but died before he arrived 
there.  Deceased was a single man of about forty years of age.  Some of 
his friends say there was a black bruise in the middle of his forehead, 
and they think he had been riding on a freight train, from which he 
fell and was stunned.
