Fatal Railroad Accident Near Oneida

On Sunday morning last, April 21st, it was rumored that a man was found lying between the two tracks on the Central RR about a mile and a half west of Verona [Oneida Co. NY], towards Oneida.  He was first discovered by the engineer of the Cincinnati express which passes through here about 5:40 A.M.  The train was stopped, and a man was sent back to attend to him.  the unfortunate man was found to be still alive though his legs were terribly crushed.  The hand sent back went immediately to Verona, procured a hand car and sufficient help and took the mangled man to the house of Mrs. Busby, in Oneida.  He lived about two hours after his arrival and was able to say but a few words.  His name was Michael Harris.  It was with great difficulty that the dying man could be understood but it is thought that he formerly lived in Buffalo [Erie Co. NY].  He had on his person a watch and chain No. 79,773 and only fifteen cents in his pocket.   His father's name is supposed to be Michael Harris and to reside in Buffalo.  Dr. Carpenter, who is Coroner, of Oneida, did all in his power to ascertain the identity of the deceased.  It is thought by some that Harris had been at work in Rome [Oneida Co. NY] and a messenger had been sent to Rome to make inquiries.  Later, we learn that the body has since been recognized as belonging in Rome and that Harris had been until recently employed in the Rome rolling mill.  He left Rome with the intention of going to Buffalo to obtain work.  His friends came to Oneida and took the remains back to Rome, where they were interred.

Another Man Killed on the Midland

As we go to press, we learn that a man named Marshall, aged 65 or 70 years, was instantly killed near Fulton [Oswego Co. NY] on Tuesday last, by the morning train from Oswego.  It appears he was just in the act of crossing the track as the train was coming around the curve and came upon him so suddenly that he had not time to get out of the way.  He was fearfully mangled.  His home we learn, was near Fulton.
