Monday evening Robert Dorrie, a South Shore brakeman was caught between the bumpers of two Lehigh Valley gondolas which he was coupling on the new stone dock and had his head badly crushed. The physicans are of the opinion that he will pull through in psite of the severity of his injuries. At eight o'clock on Monday night the yardmen in the upper yeard werre startled by hearing an incoming train calling for brakes all the way down near Bancroft. They are once decided that the train had got away from the engine, which was bringing it down, and prepared to receive it.
