A TRACK WATCHMAN KILLED.

  Henry Graham, the watchman in the big cut on the Pennsylvania 
railroad a short distance west of Newton Hamilton, was run down and 
killed by an east-bound freight train about 5.30 o'clock last evening.  
His body was badly mangled.  He had been the watchman there for a 
number of years and narrowly escaped death by being hit by a train some 
five years ago.  The unfortunate man was 65 years of age and had been 
employed by the company for a number of years.  He was a member of the 
Methodist Episcopal church and a veteran of the civil war.  Besides a 
wife he is survived by one daughter, Margaret Graham, of Altoona; also 
by four other daughters and three sons.
