Conductor 45 Years, Killed By Yard Train
First Accident in Career on Railroad Is Fatal to Hornell Man, 64.
Snow Deadens Sound
John M'DERMOTT Failed to Hear Train's Approach, Fellow-workers Say
 
     Hornell, Dec. 26 - John McDERMOTT, 64 years old, of No. 46 Jane street, a yard conductor employed by the Erie Railroad Company was knocked down and run over by a string of cars in the yards here early to-day and killed instantly. He had worked in the yards for nearly forty-five years and never before had suffered even the slightest injury.
     The accident occurred at 8:40 o'clock this morning at the east end of the west bound yard, a locality in which Mr. McDERMOTT had worked for nearly thirty years. Coroner M. G. BURCH, who investigated the accident, issued a certificate of accidental death and ordered the body removed to an undertaking parlor.
     Mr. McDERMOTT, it is claimed, ran ahead to throw a switch after which he stepped back onto another track along which a string of cars was being shoved. The only eyewitness was R. W. CROZIER of No. 47 Pine street, a yard employee, but he was not near enough to warn Mr. McDERMOTT of the danger.
     The heavy fall of snow early to-day made work in the yards dangerous and it is believed that it deadened the sound of the approaching cars. Several of the cars passed over the man before they could be brought to a stop and as a result his body was mangled badly.
     Besides his widow, he leaves a daughter, Mrs. William HILL of Patterson, N. J., and two brothers, Patrick and Michael McDERMOTT of Hornell.
     Mr. McDERMOTT was the second oldest active employee of the Erie Railroad in Hornell and the fact that he went so many years without injury in what is considered one of the most dangerous jobs only to meet death in this manner has caused considerable comments.
