The carelessness of a uegro flagman at
McGarrah street crossing came uear
causing a serious accident yesterday
evening.
A switch engine was moving a lot of
freight ears yesterday evening from the
Central railroad depot to the upper end
of the yard, just as-the funeral proces
slon, which was bearing the body of
little Byne Ross from the home of his
parents in Brooklyn heights to the tie
pot to bo carried to SmlthvlUe.
The procession bad reached the tracks
where McGarrah street crostos the rail
road, ard the hearse was half way over
when the negro flagman signalled the
engineer to come on hack.
Ths carriage containing the bereaved
parents of the little one in tho hearse,
and too ladies, leached the tracks just as
the train of cars came rolling back, and it
was only by the expert handling of the
horses that It was saved from a frightful
collision.
The driver wheeled Ills horses off just
in time to save the occupants of the car
riage from instant death, and the hearse
was hurried over on the on tho oilier
side, thus dividing the procession.
Mrs. Ross, whose deep grief at the loss
of her little one had greatly exhausted
her, fainted when she thought of its
body being crushed beneath the wheels
of tho cars. Slio wits so weak front the
fright that It was necessary to have a
physician attend her to Smithville.
Those who witnessed the narrow es
cape of tlio hearse and carriage, state
that It was nothing but criminal care
lessness on the part of tho flagman.
He was near the crossing auil saw
the funeral procession approaching.
Saw that It was about to come upon the
tracks, and yet he signaled to the en
gineer that the way was clear, to come
on back.
This ootored flagman should be taught
to respect tho rights of others, especial
ly when it is a funeral cortege, and a
few years in the pen might accomplish
the needed reform.
