Struck by a Train

New York, 1895

An Italian organ grinder about 60 years old was struck by a west bound train near Newtown Monday evening. The man will probably die. His left leg was broken and his head frightfully cut.


Two Bodies from Newtown Creek

Two bodies of men were picked up in Newtown Creek on Friday by the crew of the tugboat Vigilant. One body, taken to Davren's undertaking establishment in Jackson avenue, was identified as that of George S. Eaton, of Greenpoint. He was identified by his wife, who said that her husband had been missing for nine weeks.

The body of the other man was taken to Conway's undertaking establishment. In a pocket were two pairs of eyeglasses, a small pocket-knife and two handkerchiefs with the initial "N."
