DIED UNCONSCIOUS. The Most Disstresing Acci dent that Has Occurred in Plattsmouth for Many Months. There have been numerous accidents lappeningto workmen on the 1$. & M. railroad bridge since commencing oper ations upon the new structure, but none so horrible as that which occur red to Mr. William K. Webb on Tues day afternoon last, in which he lost lis life. M r. Webb was engaged at work on the top of the first span on this side of the bride, where other workmen were also employed, and it seems that he was engaged in assisting in removing a large pieceof lumberand stepped aside to let those coming from the opposite direction, pass. In doing so he step ped upon a loose board, which gave way and he fell through below. Eye witnesses say that in falling, he first struck the casing of the temporary pier, erected under a low trussel work, from which he bounced to the ice on the river, a distance of nearly seventy feet or more. His fellow workmen as soon as possible rushed to his aid, but as soon as they reached t he mang led form, he was unconscious, and it wasstion discovered that his injuries were fatal. The unfortunate man was carried aboard the work train and brought to his home in this city. In the meantime Dr. Livingston, the company's physician, was apprised of the terribJe accident. While everything in the power of physician and friends was done to save his life, his spirit took its flight to the (Ireat Ueyond at 10:30 Tuesday night. 1 1 could not possibly have resulted oth erwise to the unforunate man whose skull was crushed and both legs badly mangled. William 11. Webb was well known in Plattsmouth, having been in the em ploy of the li. & M. for a number of years, first in the shops and then with the regular bridge gang of the liurling lington. He was a gentleman who commanded the respect of all who knew him, and with a genial, kind dis position calculated to make friends with all with whom he met. The entire community was shocked upon hearing of the terrible disaster that had befallen him and his grief-stricken wife and children. While not intimately acquained with the deceased, the writer has been a resident of the same city for a number of years in which reside the father and several brothers, and knew the family well. It has been but a few months since the deceased vistited the Journal orlice to convey some word his aged father had sent us. lie had just re turned from his mother's funeral at Memphis, Mo. It seems to be true that "misfortunes never come singly," and the untimely death of Mr. Webb isa hard blow to thealready sorrowing wife, w ho was just recovering from the shock she received a few weeks ago of the death of her brother, who was accidentally killed in the state of Washington, and whose remains were broughu here and barely consigned to the silent tomb, when she is called up on to grieve over a still greater loss in the death of a loving husband. Mrs. Webb and the fathless children have the sympathy of the entire community. The deceased was a member of Plattsmouth Lodge, Xo. 7, 1. O. O. F., and also a member of the Loyal Mystic Legion. The funeral will take place from the M. E. chuch to-morrow ( Fri day ) at 2 o'clock, and will be conduct ed under the auspices of the Odd Fel lows of the city.
