                                FELL FROM A TRAIN

           One of Sells' Showmen, a Norfolk Man, Meets a Violent Death

News reached here yesterday of the death of George Loughlin, brother of Mr. 
Charles Loughlin, a well-known printer of this city.  George and his brother 
Will had been with Sells Bros' Circus as acrobats and showed with that 
organization in Norfolk last summer.  The show closed its season Saturday night 
at Cedar Town, Georgia, and it was while it was on its way to Chattanooga that 
George fell from the train and was so injured that he died Sunday night, having 
been picked up and taken to Hotel Chester, in Chattanooga.
He is one of several brothers, all from this section, and had been connected 
with the show business for years, traveling with his brother Will under the name 
of George Loughlin Costello. Less than a year ago another one of the Loughlin 
brothers met death while practicing an acrobatic act with a circus.  David 
Loughlin, another of the boys, is with Hunting's shows, while Artie Loughlin 
resides in the city.
The deceased was a single man, 30 years of age.  His remains will be brought to 
this city for interment.
*************************************************************************
The remains of the late George C. Loughlin, who died Sunday night in 
Chattanooga, will arrive here tonight over the N & W Railroad.  Lodge No. 38, 
B.P.O. Elks will meet the train and escort the body to their hall, where it will 
lie in state until Thursday morning, when notice of the funeral will appear.  
David and William Loughlin, brothers of the deceased, will accompany the 
remains.
