Lehigh Train No. 3 Had Narrow
Escape from Serious Calamity
Sunday Morning.
The fact that Lehigh passenger
train No. 3 was drawn by one of
the heavy class of engines probs
ably saved the train from a horrible
calamity near Pean Haven on Sun
day morning. The train was drawn
by engine No. 2220, James Martin
of Sayre, engineer, and was speed
ing along about three miles this
side of Penn Haven, when the pilot
struck a rock, weighing in the
neighborhood of six tons which
had rolled from the mountainside
on to the westbound track. The
rain was descending in torrents
and as it was exceedingly dark en-
gineer Martin was able to see only
a short distance ahead of his en
gine. The rock lay almost squares
ly across the rail on the mountain
side of the track, and when first
seen by the engineer the train was
only a few feet from it. The pilot
of the engine crashed into the rock
with terrific force, but the resist-
ance of the rock was not equal to
that of the ponderous locomotive
and instead of the latter leaving
the rails it pushed the rock to one
side of the track. In the meantime
the engineer had applied the emer-
gency brakes but before he could
stop the train the projecting side of
the rock had torn the journals from
four of the coaches and otherwise
damaged the trucks.
It was decidedly a narrow escape
from what might have proven a
hornble disaster. At the point
where the rocks fell upon the track
there is a steep mountain on the
cast side while on the west side
there is an abrupt precipice below
which runs the Lehigh river. Had
the engine left the rails it doubtless
would have been precipitated into
the river.
The passenger train was delayed
for nearly four hours and in the
mcantime the passengers were
transferred to No. §.
FALSE ALARM
An alarm of fire was sounded
last night between 10 and 11
o'clock but upon investigation by
the firemen who responded it
proved to be a false alarm. The
fire was said to have been located

In the Lehigh Valley storehouse
at the upper station in Towanda
there are at present nearly 6oo
kegs of railroad spikes and cords
or Weber patent tie plates. When
the rails are received these will be
used in laying a new rail on the
Wysox bridge to the bridge at
Wyalusing. Thirty~foot rails weigh-
ing 90 pounds to the yard will res
place the present 33-foot raily Ose
reason given for making the change
to a shorter rail is that the con-
traction and expansion of the
length is less than in the longer
rail and enables the trackmen to
keep a better surface
An old trackman is authority for
the statement that the expansion
of the rails during exceedingly hot
weather will reach as high as eight
inches
