THE FRANKTON JUNCTION FATALITY. Hamilton, Last Night. The inquest into the death of George France, who was killed while coaling afet- (engine at Frankton (Junction on Wednesday, was held to-day. The jury returned a verdict that death was accidental through a crane falling on him, the safety clips not being fixed to the rails. The jury added a rider that the coaling of locomotives should be done by special men, as drivers coming in from long runs are not in a fit condition to make a close examination of the cranes; also that the Department should issue specific rules and regulations for working these cranes, the evidence having shown that there was some doubt as to whose duty it was to see the cramps fixed to the rails.
