RAILROAD ACCIDENT
Yesterday, shortly afternoon, at Waterloo, as Herbert BURGESS'S team was
drawing a heavy load of sacked potatoes to the station, the wagon broke down
while crossing the freight track. Locomotive 116 was rapidly approaching from
the east, and the horses were detached from the vehicle just in time. The
engineer whistled several times for brakes and endeavored to stop the train.
He succeeded in slowing up, but not in time to avoid the collision, the wagon
of course getting the worst of it.

CRUSHED BY A TRUCK
Leonard B. MOSHER was very seriously injured at Waterloo yesterday morning.
Employed at Kendig & Story's grocery, he was engaged with an assistant on the
second floor, in moving a heavy bundle of Calcutta sacks, used for shipping
potatoes. Mr. MOSHER had hold of the handles of the truck, and was backing
through a doorway, when his foot caught upon a projection and he fell, the
truck and its ponderous load of 830 pounds coming down and crushing him under
its weight. He was at once removed to his house and Dr. WELLES summoned, who
found no bones broken, and entertains hopes of the unfortunate man's
recovery, although he has advanced well in years. His limbs were terribly
bruised, and he was rendered insensible by the accident.

Conductor Henry HATCH, came steaming up to the station a little
eight-year-old Swede boy with his hat full of apples was seen running between

who happened to be standing on the platform, dashed to the rescue, and at
great risk he caught the child in his arms and placed him in safety.
