A Brakeman Killed.

Special to the Tribune.
  BELLEFONTE, Pa., December 27. - Yesterday morning at about half page 
10 a most distressing accident occurred in the Pennsylvania railroad 
yard at this place.  Mr. Clell Whiteman, on the Snow Shoe train, while 
making a coupling, was caught between the bumpers and had his ribs 
crushed.  He was taken to the Bush house and attended by Dr. George 
Harris, but his injuries proved fatal and he died at 1 o'clock.  His 
remains were taken to his home in Snow Shoe last evening.  Mr. Whiteman 
was a young man about 23 years old, single and resided with his aged 
parents, whose only support he was.
