CRUSHED BY THE CARS. We are pained to record the death of John FEGAN, a young man about 17 or 18 years old, who has grown up in our town, and was well known to our citizens as a bright and promising youth. On Monday last his father, James FEGAN, received a dispatch stating that John had been killed at Centralia, on the Illinois Central Railroad, while attempting to couple the cars. He started for his body in the afternoon of the same day.....
