Inquest at Sixmilecross The inquest on the body of Wm. M'DOWELL, gate-keeper on the Dungannon and Omagh Railway, who was killed on the 20th instant, while opening the gates for the passage of a train, was adjourned from the 21st instant till Tuesday last and has been again adjourned in order to obtain further evidence. Deceased was for many years clerk of the church at Sixmilecross and was generally esteemed. His sudden and lamentable death and the circumstances connected with it have produced quite excitement in the neighbourhood and much sympathy is felt for the bereaved orphans. As the coroner's jury have not yet returned their verdict, it is premature to express opinion as to whether any blame attaches to the servants of the Railway Company. That is, of course, the object of the inquiry.
