We regret to learn that a lad named Andrew Redman, who was employed in hauling dirt upon the railroad in the large carts used for that purpose, by some cause stumbled and fell upon the track one day last week, and the loaded car passed over his body, breaking one of his legs in three places, and otherwise injuring him so that he died in a few days. Too much care cannot be observed by those engaged in that occupation, as the sharp iron wheels will break a limb very quickly.
