On Saturday Henry BABCOCK was killed at Petitcodiac platform while walking across the track in advance of the express train. He owned a saw mill at Pollet River and arrived in the Elgin train, went to a store, bought some goods, a part of which he was carrying to the train, when he stepped immediately in front of the I.C.R. which he could not possibly have seen. The blow jammed him between the cars and the platform and cut his legs off above the knees. He died without a groan just as the doctor reached him, about ten minutes after the accident. His father was killed nearly in the same manner at Salisbury station. Testimonies of H. HENDERSON, A. McWILLIAMS, Dr. PECK (see original)
