Fatal Fall
Levi Rubright, of Schuylkill Haven who is a brakeman on the Mine Hill Railroad. Last evening about nine o'clock his crew was bringing down a mixed train of coal and freight cars and when they reached Broad Mountain signal tower the conductor missed him. Believing he had fallen off a freight car the train was backed and he was found laying across the other track. Rubright was unconscious and blood was running out of his ears, and with a deep cut in his head. The unfortunate man was taken to Cressona where Dr. Dechert tried to bring him to, but without success and up to a late hour this moring he was still unconscious and had taken no medicine. It is thought the accident will result fatally.
