Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock Mr. James Duckworth, a miner employed by the Maryland Coal Company, carelessly stepped off the empty car track in Kingsley mine, some 1300 feet inside the entrance, to walk up the track for loaded cars. Not observing two frieghted cars coming out, he was knocked down and run over and instantly killed. His body was badly mangled. A jury of inquest was held and a verdict rendered in accordance with the above facts. Mr. Duckworth was a native of this county and had been in the employ of the company for eight years. He was 35 years of age, and leaves a wife and three children, who reside at Detmold. Published March 16, 1881 in THE DAILY TIMES, Cumberland, Maryland on page 3, col. 1. Courtesy of Charles Riend ***** Maryland Bureau of Mines, Annual Reports, 1881 Accidents----Fatal Inquests were held upon the bodies of all the unfortunate men. The verdicts rendered exonerated the different companies from all blame in the accidents that happened in their mines. James Duckworth, miner, killed by loaded mine cars in Kingsland Mine, March 15th, 1881 The unfortunate man, James Duckworth, was going to his work in the morning, and stepping from the track used for the empty cars being taken into the mine, on to the one used for taking the loaded cars from the mine, when he was run over by a train of loaded cars. The jurors on this case were pressed by me to recommend the amendment of the law, so as to require a traveling way into the mine for the use of the miners, but they refused to do so.
