Troy Daily Times Troy, Rensselaer County, NY August 3, 1860 RAILROAD ACCIDENT A colored man named James Fay WILSON, aged 19, was walking on the track of the Troy & Greenbush road yesterday afternoon, and was run over by one of the local trains and killed. He was deaf, and of course, did not hear the cars approach. The engineer made every effort to stop the train, but was unsuccessful. WILSON was killed at once. MAD DOG Wm H.

THOMPSON, on Washington street, and sustained severe injuries. Mr. S. SEGUE, of West Troy, the other morning left his watch and chain behind him at house; in a short time a person called, and said he had been sent by Mr. S. for it. The servant girl, however, had sense enough not to let him take it, and so Mr. SEGUE was saved from robbery. The fellow was a thief, and had not been sent.

BOLD BURGLARY A bold and successful burglary was perpetrated during Wednesday night, on the residence of Mr. Joseph LANSING, between Albany and West Troy. The house is situated on a road that leads Westward from nearly opposite Widow DAYTON's tavern, on the Albany road. The lock of the front door was opened by means of nippers. Once in, the thieves became privileged characters, as it were, and ransacked everything in the house. The inmates were fast asleep. Even the watch dog, that acted as sentinel to the grounds, was not disturbed. The thieves carried off all the silverware that was in the house, amounting to probably $300 worth; also, all the jewelry, silk dresses, laces, &c., belonging to the female members of the family. The burglars succeeded in making good their escape with the booty.
