Railroad Accident.

Man Seriously Injured Near Bird-in-Hand.

Yesterday afternoon Henry Mumma, aged about 20 years, and employed as a repairman on the Pennsylvania railroad, was struck by the engine of the Johnstown express near Ranck's tower and was very seriously injured. The man was engaged in shoveling ballast when he was struck. There was a train on the north track and another on the siding at the time. On account of a curve he did not see the approaching train. He was struck by the cross beam on the front of the engine and was knocked about 10 feet. His injuries consist of a fracture of the pelvic bone on the left side and a bruise on the chest, and he was considerably cut about the head and face. He fell on his head and was picked up unconscious. He was taken to his home at Mill creek this morning at 9 o'clock. He appears to be doing as well as can be expected and will probably recover if he has not sustained any severe internal injuries. He is under the treatment of Dr. A. M. Miller, of Bird-in-Hand.
