NOBODY SAW HIM KILLED
Msnr OF A aitAKKaiAir FOUND
DED ON IIIS IKAIX-
He was Alive at Chatham Square andPresently was Discovered Imaging fromthe HearlMatmrm of the Train Head
Daniel Lanlgan I brakomnn on tho CityHall branch of the elevated railroad was killedearly last evening at Chatham square station-He was 49 years of ago and lived with his wifeand five children at 2130 llhtnvonuo Hewas tho brakeman on tho car of a llvocartrain that reached the Chatham square stationat C 22 oclock bound for tho City Hall antiafter Lanlcnn had pulled the boll rope to indi-
cate¬
that his gates wore closed he walkedthrough tho car to tho roar platform just as thotrain pulled away from the station
Attention was first attracted to the brake-man by passengers on tho station platformwho called loudly for tho train to stop Thefour passengers In tho last car ran to tho plat ¬
10r1 and saw Lanlcnn clutching tho top barof the iron ralol and hanging with his feettowar tho trlok Ills face was covered withbJoot Mr J It Hnskell and several otherpassengers seized tho bell rope and passengersIn the othor cars attracted by the commotionalso took a hand at pulling tho cord and manyof thorn ran back to the roar car
Several men clod to lift tho brakeman overtho rail but as tho train continued on its waythey wore unable to raIse him up At tho CityHall station eovornl of the passengers gotdown upon the track and bore tho brakemaninto tho train despatched ofilco and laid himon tho floor An ambulance surgeon from theChatber Street Hospital pronounced him
skull was fracturedHow the accident happened can only ho con-
jectured¬
The employees of the road said thatBO far as they know Lanlgan could have had nobusiness on tho roar platform TOo chains thatclose the passage from ono car to anotherwhen not In use wero up It is thought thatthe bell rope that Is fastened on tho rear railmay have becomo loosened and that Lanlganwas fastening it when tile train started andthat he had been thrown over tho railing ontho track He may have retained consciousnessenough to clutch tho Iron railingI
Another theory is that ho was leaning overthe chains shutting oil the valve on tho rubbersteam pipe with one hand while he clung totho Iron rail with tho other hand He mayhavo lost his balance and toppling over struckhis head violently against tho platform of thocar It is more likely that In loaning from theplatform he struck his head against a postsupporting the roof at Chatham square station
the police of the City Hull station nOllleltho Ipolice of the proclnol In whichman lived so that his friends could bo in-formed
¬
It 1s customary In cases of this kindfor the pollco to notify the Coroner as soon aspossible The Coroners ofllco waslolosod whenthe police heard of the accident and notice willnot bo sent thoro until this morning The bodycannot be removed without a Coroners permitanti It remained at the elevated station latnight guarded by a policeman
One bell U the signal to stop a train and twoto go ahead If tho boll rope worked all rightwhen tho passengers tugged at it the bell wasrung many times The frequent rlnlntof thobell may have confused the How-ever
¬
title may be the train did not stop orslacken its speed until the City Hallwas reached stallol
