New York, 1895
John Barring, a brakeman on the Port Jefferson freight train, was crushed to death at Jamaica Monday morning while two cars were being switched to a side track. Barring was at the brake, when the cars came together suddenly, throwing him from his perch on top of the car under the wheels, which passed over his body, killing him instantly. The unfortunate man lived at Ridgewood. He was about 27 years old. The remains were taken in charge by Coroner Nutt, who will hold an inquest.
