KILLED ON THE RAILWAY.

Dunedin, March 21. John Horan, a middle-aged married man, living with Jus family at Caversham, and employed, as a ganger on the "Mosgiel duplication works, was knocked down by the engine of the 1.2 p.m.- -train for Dunedin to-day. It appears he was talking to another ganger (John Elliott) close to the Kensington passenger siding, and they were standing behind somo trucks, when Elliott said, "Look out, Jack, she is coming." Horan, thinking the shunting engine was approaching the trucks, he stepped on to the main line, and he was cut down by the engine. He was carried some thirty feet, and was picked up unconscious, with a fractured skull. He died at 4 p.m., without regaining consciousness.
