DUNEDIN, Wednesday.

Wednesday. A serious accident occurred at Ravensbourne to-day to a girl of eleven years named Melieta Mulling. She was engaged plucking flowers on the railway bank, and fell on to the line just as the mid-day train from Palmerston was passing. Nothing could be done to save her, and one of the carriages psssed over her left leg, completely crushing it. She was immediately conveyed in the same train to the Dunedin Hospital, where the limb was amputated below the thigh. The train coming round a corner startled her, so that she fell. No blame whatever is attributable to the engine driver.
