Killed on the Bridge The Millstone train cuts short the Career of a Railroad Man. Hugh Doorbar, a track labourer on the Pennsylvania Railroad, was instantly killed last night on the railroad bridge by train No.165, the Millstone passenger line, which arrives in this city at 6.02 p.m. Doorbar was returning from his work and started across the railroad bridge. When near the flag house the Millstone train came on the bridge. The unfortunate man continued on as if he had not heard the train's approach. The engineer, seeing the man on the track, drew a shrill blast from his whistle, but it was not heeded. The engineer then drew back the engine levers, but it was too late. The locomotive struck Doorbar and threw him a distance of twenty feet ahead of the train, killing him almost instantly. The body, which was not mangled, was picked up and taken to the dead house and Dr. Slack was summoned. The unfortunate man had been only about two months in this country, having come from Staffordshire, England and was about 24 or 25 years of age. He boarded with a family on Codwise Ave, but had no friends or relatives living in this city. Doorbar was unmarried. Newspaper report 8 Feb 1889
