One Killed, One Hurt by Train
One man was killed and another seriously injured when an inbound train on the Amboy division of the Pennsylvania Railroad ran them down at Fish House, five miles above Camden, last night. The dead man was Peter Peffer, 20 years old, 628 North Twenty-fourth street, East Camden. The body was taken to the Morgue after being viewed by Coroner Bentley. Richard Dunn, 24 years old, 2818 Saunders street, East Camden, was lacerated and bruised about the body. He was taken to the Cooper Hospital. Both men were walking along the railroad tracks. It was dark and the train was upon them so quickly they were unable to leap out of the way. Peffer fell under the wheels and was crushed, and Dunn was hurled to the side of the tracks.
