One Killed and Six Injured.

Toledo, Ohio, May 20. —One man was killed and six were injured by a singular accident on a Lake Shore fast freight Tuesday. The train was going westward, at the edge of the city, when the air hose broke near the middle of the train, setting the brakes on the front half of the train. The rear portion went forward with such terrific force that one empty stock car was doubled together as if it had been a paper box. In the car were seven tramps stealing a ride, all of whom were badly hurt, and a little negro, who escaped uninjured.
