CRUSHED.
James Connell, a passenger train brakeman, running on the St. Paul & Omaha railway, was killed at Lyons yesterday morning while coupling cars.
Connell had exchanged runs with a fellow-brakeman, in order to spend New Year's at home in this city, where his relatives reside, on Webster street. When picked up he was unconscious and after about an hour expired. His remains will be brought to this city for interment. This makes the second member of the family who has been killed by the cars.

CRUSHED IN COUPLING.
James Connell Killed at Lyons, While on His Way Home for "New Year's."
Omaha Herald.
James Connell, a brakeman on the St. Paul & Omaha railway, was caught and fatally crushed at Lyons yesterday noon while he was making a coupling between two passenger cars, and died half an hour afterward.
Connell was a young man about 23 years of age, very much liked on the road for his many good qualities, had been a switchman in the company's yard in this city, and came to them about a year ago from the Union Pacific. He was unmarried and lived with his mother on Webster street, and is said to have been her only surviving son, a brother of James, who was a brakeman on a Colorado road, having been killed in the Denver yard several months ago.
A melancholy circumstance of the affair is that Connell's "run" was changed yesterday morning at his request, to enable him to spend New Year's night at home.
