Brakeman Run Over and Killed.

  Thomas Gray, a brakeman on the night shifter of the Pennsylvania, was 
run over and instantly killed about 2 o'clock Saturday morning in the 
railroad company's yard at Harrisburg.  He had just uncoupled some cars 
from the shifter, and was running to the rear of the train, when, it is 
supposed, he fell between two cars and was run over.  He was soon 
missed and his friends found, lying on the track, his body somewhat 
mangled.  The Coroner held an inquest and rendered a verdict in 
accordance with the above facts.  Mr. Gray was a resident of Huntingdon 
and his remains were taken there on the fast line Saturday afternoon.
