Another Fatal Railroad Accident - Rodney Hathaway, a fireman on the Chicago & Northwestern Railway, was so badly injured this morning between this city and Shopiere, as to cause his death immediately on his arrival here. He was on the night freight, and while oiling the engine, slipped and fell upon the connecting rods, in which he became so entangled that it required half an hour's labor in detaching the rods before he could be extricated. He was brought immediately this this city, but died as the train reached the depot. His parents reside at Belleville, and a messenger went to convey to them the afflicting news of his death.
