RUN OVER BY A TRAIN.

... :■ —; » . . ..■■■■■ :-y- ', '•■ A WOMAN CUT TO PIECES. Shortly after 6 o'clock the other afternoon-' a woman, whose name proves to be T3Hza Morris or Williamß, of Leichardt, wae run over by a train &\i- Sfcanmore station, Sydney, and from the terrible injuriessbV received it is evident that death must have been instantaneous. The train froni under which her body was removed was the 5.27 _ p.m. from Sydney, and it is believed tHafc* it was this train that caused her death, although no blood stains are to be seen oothe front of the engine or on the wheels. No one actually witnessed the occurrence, but as the train came to a standstill a porfcor on the other side of. the platformsaw the body under the thkd car—an American second-" class carriage—and he -assisted to extricate, it. No signs of life were apparent, and the, terribly-mangled condition of the body rendered a-medical man's opinion Unnecessary. As neither the driver nor fireman* on the engine saw the woman on the line as entered the station, i'tj is surmised that she' fell from a passing train or else slipped between the carriages while atteEipting-;t6 ? alight from the moving train. Ftomthe appeawince of the clothing tha unfortunate woman was wearing.she is thought to have' been a domestic servant.
