TWO MEN KILLED
William Pippin and Harcourt Payran Met Their Death To-day,
KILLED ON THE PENNA. R.R.
While Driving Over the Track at Hutchinson's Crossing the Long
Branch Express Struck Their Buggy and Hurled it High in the Air-
Both Men Died Instantly-The Horse Injured so Badly it Had to be
Shot.
The Long Branch express train No.295, on the Pennsylvania Railroad,which
arrives
here at 10:55, struck and killed two men this morning at
Hutchinson's crossing, just this side of the Bear Swamp. One of them was
William Pippen, the well-known livery -man, of Perry street, and the other
was Harcourt Payran, son of Samuel Payran, who keeps a harness store at the
corner of Perry and Broad streets.
The two men started out this morning to gather huckleberries and took
along their shot guns in case any game came across their path. They drove
out in a buggy and when they reached the crossing they did not take the
precaution to look out for trains, but drove out on the tracks and before
they knew it the train was upon them.
The locomotive's whistle gave a wild shriek, but it was too late.
The
engine struck the carriage squarely and hurled it high in the air, killing
both men instantly and so badly injuring the horse that it had to be shot.
The bodies were badly mangled, but not beyond recognition. The
engineer at
once reversed the engine and stopped the train and the bodies were
picked
up, put on board and conveyed to the Clinton street station, from which
place they were conveyed to the morgue.
Coroner Coutier viewed the remains and will order an inquest.
