CRUSHED UNDER TRAIN.

Cornelius Brodbeck, a workman near the coal chutes at Hanover Junction, York 
county, was run down Thursday evening by an N. C. express train, killed and 
terribly mangled.  Brodbeck was walking toward his home and was on the 
northbound track of the railway.  He was about 75 years old and quite deaf and 
did not hear the whistle, although engineer Amos Reed declares he gave the man 
all possible notice.  It was impossible for the train to stop in time and the 
old man was caught by the engine and practically cut to pieces.
