Hauer was about 49 years of age, and the son of Rev. D. J. HAUER, of Hanover, PA. At the time of his death, which resulted from being struck by a freight train, while crossing the track to board a passenger train, he was connected as salesman with a house in Baltimore. In rendering their verdict, the jury in compliance with an Act of the General Assembly made the follwiing distribution of their award to the several children: - To the eldest daugher, aged 25 years at the time of the unfortunate occurrence, $600 - to Henrietta, aged 23 years, $600 - to Charlotte, aged 20 years, $1,200 - to Mana, aged 18 years, $1,800 - to Benjamin, aged 14 years, $1,800 - to Daniel, aged 9 years, $3,000 - to Anne, aged 7 years, $3,000 Counsel in the case were Capt.
