SHOCKING ACCIDENT
Canandaigua Man Ground to Pieces.
FELL UNDER A CAR
His Body Dragged More Than 100 feet.
MANY SAW HIM KILLED
Mr. Cullinane Met Death While Attempted to Board a R.& E Train. All
Human Identify Destroyed. His Brother Met a Violent Death Near the Same
Spot 15 Years Ago
Canandaigua, May 14--Timothy CULLINANE, aged about 40 years, attempted to board
an eastbound two car Rochester & Eastern train which left Canandaigua
station at 1:50 o'clock this afternoon. He released his hold on the
platform and fell between the cars, suffering instant and awful death and
mutilation. The accident occurred near the corner of Bristol and Main
streets, and was witnessed by many horrified bystanders. When the
machinery of the car had finished its work the identity of CULLINANE as an
object of humanity was manifested only by the clothing and his personal effects.
The trucks and motors of the Rochester & Eastern cars have only a few inches
clearance above the ground, and the unfortunate man was ground by the wheels and
torn by the steel trucks and heavy motors. The extent of his injuries may
be imagined when it is stated that the running gear of one of he cars was put
out of commission by the accident. The body was rolled and dragged a
hundred feet or more.!
The extremities were ground and twisted out of resemblance to human form,
half the head was gone, and almost all the organs were torn from the trunk and
lay beside the body in a bloody pool or were strewn along the track for some
distance back. A trail of blood led back to where the unfortunate man
attempted to board the car, and there was found the missing portion of the
skull. The portions of the body were gathered up by order of Coroner
WARNER and turned over to undertaker John O'LEARY who took them to his
undertaking rooms directly opposite.
Employees of the Rochester & Eastern were working to remove the horrible
stains on the brick pavement, when a welcome shower came and did the work for
them. CULLINANE was a single man. Two brothers, a sister and his
mother survive him. CULLINANE had returned from Auburn prison only a few
days ago, where he was sent three years ago on a charge of larceny from the
person, committed at this place.
Fifteen years ago CULLINANE's oldest brother, John CULLINANE, was stabbed to
death by Frank FISH within a hundred yards of where Timothy met his death
to-day. The men at that time quarreled and the death blow was caused with
a cigar box opener, carried by FISH at that time. The quarrel started at
the corner of Main and Beeman streets, and the murdered man managed to reach his
home before expiring, almost directly opposite where Timothy was ground to death
to-day.
The men in chard of the train were Conductor Sephen MELCHING and Motorman Claude
McCAHN. It is declared that no blame attaches to them. However,
Coroner F.P. WARNER will make careful investigation and have a hearing tomorrow
, at an hour not yet fixed.
