| Man killed |
| An aged man named Simpson, a resident of
Orange county, Virginia, was killed at Gordonsville on Saturdaynight,
by being run over by an engine of the
Orange
{& Alexandria} railroad. He was
walking on the track, and, meeting the engine,
stepped to one side to let it pass. Immediately after passing him, the
engine commenced backing, and the
deceased, having gotten on the track, was run over by it, having both
his legs severed from his body. He survived but a few hours after the
accident. |
