NATHANIEL TROUT.

  Yesterday afternoon Mrs. R. M. Peck, of 705 Eighteenth street, 
received word that her brother, Nathaniel Trout, of Leaman Place, 
twelve miles from Lancaster, had been killed some time yesterday 
morning.  He was employed as a pit-man by the Pennsylvania Railroad 
company.  It is thought he was run down by a train.  Deceased was aged 
45 years and leaves a wife and five children: William, George, 
Nathaniel, Clyde and Sallie; also two brothers, Isaac and Robert and 
three sisters, Mrs. Isabella Frego and Mrs. Susan Rhyneir, both of 
Lancaster county, and Mrs. R. M. Peck, of this city.  Mr. Peck and 
family will leave to-day to attend the funeral.
  Relative to the above an Associated Press telegram from Lancaster, 
under date of December 26, says: Nathaniel Trout, a track-walker on the 
Pennsylvania railroad, was found dead along the road near Leaman Place 
this morning.  When Harrisburg express reached this city last night a 
handkerchief and blood stains were found on the pilot, and it is 
supposed it struck and killed Trout.  Both legs and arms were broken 
and the body was badly cut.
