    On Monday night, about midnight, at St. Paul, Va., a man by the name of Burkett was almost literally ground to pieces by an engine.  Burkett, it is said, was in an intoxicated condition and was lying on a sidetrack near the station, when in shifting some, cars he was run over.  Burkett's remains were gathered up and sent to his home at Coeburn yesterday morning
