Geo. Winans, aged 15, son of Wm. Winans, in John's Addition, was coasting down a hill at Heineman's crossing last Monday, when he met with a terrible accident that resulted in instantaneous death.  The boy successfully ran across the N.Y.P. & O. track, but when he came upon that of the B. & O. the sled stopped.  Some boys yelled to young Winans that a train was coming and he knocked his sled from the track.  But, just as he had risen about half way up the westbound fast line struck him and he was thrown into the ditch alongside of the track.  He was picked up and put on the train, which had stopped, but his brother having meanwhile arrived the body was conveyed to his father's residence.  The funeral took place Wednesday morning.
