Railroad Bycyclers Fatally Injured
                                                ------
    John Smart, 26, and Amos Hart, 29, employees of the Norfolk and Western railroad were fatally injured at 5 o'clock Saturday evening near Naugatuck, on the Kenova Division.
    The men were riding a railroad velocipede down the track when an obstruction on the track threw the machine off into a ditch, and the entire party went down the hill and sustained bad injuries.  Both were alive yesterday at noon, but it was not thought that either of them could live much longer.
