FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
A YOUNG GIRL KILLED. (BY telegraph—tress association). Wellington, Last Night. As the Wellington-Masterton train was drawing up to the Woodside railway station, near Greytown to-night, a young girl, named Florence Owen, a secondclass passenger, attempted to alight from the carriage. One wheel passed over her body, high up, and she was crushed to death instantly. She had a sewing machine in her hands, which probably retarded her in attempting to alight. She was sister of Mr John Owen, Postmaster at Kumara.
