A fsour.,ta'Arrain , --One.of the.fllo9t .sin-,
gular Phenomenon- vie have heard Of.for Soma,
time past, was related to us yesterday by Mr ! '
Wm. Whitely, an engineer upon the : Northern
Central railway. He !tilted ;that :on 'Friday
night last, be was ruonittire4o4train„.over'
the'road, and whei neatWfttliTijilis station',
about ten miles from Baltimore,
ly startled by seeing directly before' WM what
he suppdied to. be. the front light
,of another
engine Cciminutovvirds hitti-not . over a bun : .
died yards distant. He'iMmediately"
whistle to put down 413 e. brakes - and finding
that he' was bound' to run upon it, he reversed
'the engine and did everything in his power to
stop . , but finding 'it' impossible, he : gave alarm
to the fireman and, rushed to the rear'of 'the en- :
gine for the .purpose cif jumping:off to save his.
life; when, upon tUrning.again:to take.another.
look ahead, he was completely astounded-'by.
the discovery •that : the light had disappeared,
but where to, or ho*, no one was able. to say.:
The story is substantiated 'by all those who
were upon the train, who state that they all
saw' the light directly 'ahead very distinctly,
and ratherlirger than 'the •usual front lights,
ni
Arterrunng a short distance ..the, train was
Stopped,' and those ,eigaged . upon it instigated
a search for the cause etithe mysterious
but all their eftorte, were in 'Vain, as' there , was
no' light of 'any. kind ..to be - seen in 'the emirs
neighborhocid. It will 'be recollected that
man was killed at this same spot about a week'
since, and it is the supposition of.: those who
salsa, that the light was pausitlby some 'su
perhuman agency;. as they' are 6/Abe opinion
that it was entirely too large to have been the
