ALTOONA, Pa., Dec.31.----Yesterday about ten miles from Bellwood on the Clearfield & Jefferson railroad, the last car of the Eastern express, containing twenty passengers, went off the track, caused by a broken rail, and down a on hundred foot embankment, turning four times in its descent. No one was seriously injured except John Keller, who is not expected to live.

John Keller was fatally injured by the derailment of a car near Bellwood, Pa., on Friday. The car went down a 100-foot embankment, and, strange to say, no other passenger was seriously injured.
