Serious Accident.

On Saturday night last about half past six Thomas McCann, aged about 22, son of Mr. Michael McCann of Holland, was driving across the railway at Berkeley when an engine going north struck the bind part of the buggy, smashing the vehicle and seriously, if not fatally injuring the young man. He was badly bruised about the head and had one leg broken in two places. Drs. Sproule and Carter of Markdale were called on and attended his injuried. He has been unconscious up to time of writing (Monday), and not much hope is entertained of his recovery. The engine had whistled, and the bell ringing at time of accident, so that no blame can be attached to the engine-driver. The horse escaped unhurt. Later the young man died Wednesday morning.
