minutes . by a freight traln wreck at Tough-

until about 1 o'clock,
Just west of the bridge Anthony Duffy, a

the east-bound track up, and were worklag
in new ties when the express hove in sight,
300 yards away, It was hurrying ata fast
rate to make up lost time, Duffy and his
men, realizing that there was no flagman
