A serious accident happened at the Stratford railway station this afternoon. It appears that Mr. J. Marra, buyer for Messrs Dimock & Co., was loading pigs when a truck that was being shunted struck the one that Mr. Marra was loading, and crushed him against the loading bank. Mr. Marra received severe injuries to his head. He was removid to a private hospital, and at the time of writing was doing as well as could be expected. Influenza is very rife in Stratford at present. Messrs McCluggage & Co. had the bad luck to lose their motor car by fire yesterday.
