DROWNED
------------
Mr. Martin Coyle, an honest and worthy citizen of our county, whilst passing over the rail road bridge about 9 o'clock on Monday night returning home, fell through and was drowned. He was in company with a young man, and as they were passing over the bridge, the 9 o'clock train came along. The young man ran on over, supposing that Mr. Coyle was following, but after the cars had passed, not seeing him, he ran back, and heard him cough down by the butments of the old bridge, but on running there and calling and making all the search possible, Mr. Coyle could not be found. He immediately gave the alarm and various persons searched for him until midnight, but the darkness of the night and the water being quite muddy, he could not be found. Search was immediately renewed at daylight next morning, but unavailing, until about 4 o'clock, on Tuesday, when the body was found by Mr. Wm. Cage and Mr. Isaiah Boon, about one hundred yards below the railroad bridge, and was immediately taken out and his mortal remains carried to his distressed family. It is supposed that he was so severely injured that his fall through the bridge, that he was deprived of the use of his limbs and was thus prevented from extricating himself, and the coldness of the weather and darkness of the night and the sudden fright occasioned by the calamity prevented his friend from rendering immediate assistance. He has been a member of the M. E. church for eighteen years, and leaves a wife and a large family and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. We commend his widow and now orphan children to the warm hearted sympathy of our citizens.
