Obituary
Fatal Accident. -- Killed, at the railroad bridge next south of Gassett's, on the 10th inst., Albert S. Earle, 24.
Mr. Earle was brakeman on the train which left Gassett's about half-past one a.m. Five or ten minutes later he was found in the bridge dreadfully mangled and already dead. He leaves a wife and a little girl. A correspondent at Chester writes the above, and asks us: "Will you not advocate a law, requiring all railroad bridges to be unroofed or raised six feet above the highest freight cars? It seems to me we can't afford to sacrifice many more lives to these low bridges. Life is insecure enough at the best."
