Fatal Accident to a Guard.
Duxedin, December 31. John Whiteman, the guard of the Invercargill express train, was killed on the journey to Dunedin, near Levell’s Flat. It appears he was walking on the top of the carriages to reach me rear of the train, and, baring his back to the engine, he did not observe the proximity of an over bridge. He was struck, however, by the lower part of the bridge on the back of the bead and killed instantly. Whiteman leaves a wife and three children. His wife is away from home, but she has been telegraphed to.
