Fatal Accident on the Midland

A sad and fatal accident occurred on the Midland railroad, near Munnsville [Madison Co., NY], on Tuesday of last week, resulting in the death of an elderly man named Covill Bullock, who resided in that town.  The Oneida Dispatch of last week gives the following particulars.

"Deceased had been to Munnsville with his team, and returning, came to the crossing just before the passage of the night train going north, and while waiting in his carriage for the train to pass was struck and almost instantly killed.  It appears that his team became restive and unmanageable as the train approached and ran upon the track.  When struck Mr. B. was trying to turn them away from the track.  As soon as the man was seen by the engineer and fireman the alarms were immediately sounded, and every effort made to prevent an accident, but without avail.  The train was stopped as soon as possible, and the injured man taken up and carried to the house of John W. True, nearby and physicians sent for by Superintendent Day, who was on the train.  Deceased survived only a very few minutes after reaching the house."

A Coroner's jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts and exonerated the Railroad Company from blame.
