The deceaesed, Joseph VANWART, Jr., age 26, was the son of Joseph VANWART, caretaker at the College building. The deceased left his home Tuesday morn. with his team for Tapley's mill, about six miles below Woodstock on the line of the N.B. Railway. While loading some lumber on his wagon at the mill, the train was heard approaching, though it could not be seen for the curve, when Vanwart asked Osburn TAPLEY to hold the horses by the head and told his own man to unhook the traces. The traces were all unhooked but one, when the animals became so frantic they broke away from Tapley, dragging Vanwart between them until they got to the crossing, when he let go of the reins and fell on the track, evidently stunned, as he never moved after falling until the train struck him, when the engine and eleven cars passed over his body, mangling the lower parts from the breast down to a jelly.... Three days previous the deceased had married a young lady at Caribou, Maine. (see original)
