RAILWAY COLLISION.
FARMER FATALLY INJI'I'KD. By Telegraph—i'ress Association. Auckland, Last Night. A collision occurred on Normanby road level crossing to-day, which resulted in a farmer named Andrew CJjugum sustaining serious injuries, from which he died. Gjugtun, who wus an Austrian and married, had been into Auckland, and had obtained a load of merchandise which he intended to cart to Henderson on a lorry drawn by three horses. It was nearly 5 o'clock when he reached the railway, and he did not notice that the Auckland-Helensville train was approaching. The horses cleared the line, but the locomotive struck the lorry with great force and smashed it to pieces. (Jjugun was thrown clear. His pelvis was found to be crushed, and lie sank rapidly from the effects of internal hemorrhage and his injuries generally. The lorry-load of goods was scattered for yards. A plough was carried by the | engine for fully a hundred yards before it fell to one side. The locomotive suffered no material damage. The horses had a remarkable escape, and were not even scratched. 1
