The train from the south on Tuesday afternoon had some flat cars to be run into Howry's yard, and the engine and one box car ran ahead to the siding to see that the track was clear before run- ning the flats in, but found that there was not room, and went into the siding to shove some trucks that were on it out of the way. When the brakeman at- tempted to cut off the flats from the train, the pin would not come out; but all at once it came through the buck- ward movement of the “ slack," and, as this was unexpected, it threw him ott~ his balance, and he would in all proba- bility have been thrown under the wheels and ground to pieces, had he not; saved himself by grabbing the brake on the next car. As there is a grade just at this spot running down towards How- ry's switch, the released flat cars at once started down hill; and, as the hind portion of the train had by this time ' come to a dead stand-still, the brake- man, on recovering himself, found he could not overtake the runaway cars; and the result was that they dashed down the grade and crashed into the end of the box car attached to the en. giue, one flat telescoping it and convert- ing its body into an utter wreck; but. the first flat car fared better than the second, which was broken clean in two. Neither of the cars sustained much in- jury as far as the gearing and wheels were concerned. With the assistance of Messrs. Howry & Scns’ yard engine, the disabled cars were drawn intq that .firm’s yard and side-tracked. The train was delayed about two hours in conse- quence of the accident. On Thursday the auxiliary and wrecking gang came out, loaded up the available assets of A Larger Stool: to. choose. W from then all the others. W1 put together. . .. CLARK & SON. Bur Cheap See it a.
