The verdict of the jury in the case of John O'Day who was killed in the railroad yard at Binghamton [Broome Co. NY] Tuesday of last week, was as follows: "That John O'Day came to his death in the city of Binghamton on the 26 of August, 1879, by being run over by the tender of a switch engine belonging to the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad near Liberty Street, in consequence of the neglect of the railroad company in not having their brake on the tender in proper order, and that the jurors herewith find that the deceased lost his life in consequence of mismanagement and fast running in the yard of said company."
Jersey City [NJ] August 25: Between 9 and 10 o'clock on Saturday night a man evidently under the influence of liquor and at the same time acting as if insane, fell overboard at the twenty-third Street ferry on the New York side. He was safely got out and instead of being sent to the station house or hospital, was placed on the boat and sent across the river. On arriving here, he was taken in charge by Officer Harris and brought to the Second Precinct Station House, where he gave his name as Martin A. Burlingame of Chenango County, N.Y., but insisted that he was now in Valparaiso and claimed that he was robbed of his watch and thrown overboard. He had lost his watch, one cuff button and his shoes, all of which were doubtless pulled off in the struggle to get him out of the water. Yesterday morning he insisted that he was in Texas, and that he had friends residing directly opposite the station house. He is agent for some invention and apparently about 80 years old.
