Met His Death on the P. & R. Railroad
To-day.
John Andrunaitis, a twelve-year-old
boy, was killed at about half past two
o'clock this afternoon while coasting on
Laurel street, near the Shenandoah City
colliery.
As the boy neared the crossing on his
sled a train of empty coal cars were
being run backward, and before the en-
gineer could stop the train, the sled and
the boy slipped under it. The train was
stopped after two cars passed over the
body. Philip Miller, the stone mason,
was one of the first to reach the scene and
he helped to remove the body to
the home in Stout's row, at the foot of
Poplar street. The boy's body was terri-
bly crushed. The right arm was cut off
above the elbow and the left arm was
severed below the elbow.
