RAILWAY ENGINES COLLIDE.
A FIREMAN' KILLED^
DUNEDIN,.May m
Two engines collided in- the 'railway yards-last night about 11 o'clock. One, travelling backwards, was going to the sheds, and the other, moving ahead, was proceeding to the platform. The tender of the first engine hit the corner of the second engine, which was a small one, crushing the tender against the firebox and boiler,' and terribly mutilating the fireman, 1 David Donovan, who must have been killed instantly. The'driver escaped injury. It is not clear how the accident happened. Both engines carried lights. Donovan was a married man, with one.young child.
