It seems that shortly before five o'clock Michael HOWARD was working in the freight yard on Brown street, coupling cars, when he was crushed between the bumpers. As soon as his condition was seen the engineer was signalled to go ahead, and as the cars pulled apart HOWARD fell into the arms of his comrades. He was laid on a platform and Dr. MANNING summoned to attend him. On the arrival of the doctor a brief examination was made which was sufficient to show that the injured man could not live. A wagon was procured and Michael was taken to his home, No. 54 Saxton street, and died soon after arriving. Coroner MORRISON was summoned and will hold an inquest this afternoon. HOWARD was only 28 years of age and leaves behind him a widow and one child, besides a widowed mother, three sisters and a brother. **** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS
