Details of Event
The deceased, along with others, had just emptied some wagons of dross for the coke ovens, and, as it was raining very hard, they improperly got underneath the wagons to shelter. A locomotive shortly afterwards started to move the wagons, and in attempting to get from under the wagons deceased was so injured that he died the same day.
