the second train ran into the Cabin ol
the llrst train with such violence that
the smash up of cars struck a pair of
engines and several ears on the siding
A car of hogs and a car of cattle were
upset over the bank. Five hogs were
killed but the cattle escaped.
ltrakemau Wheeler was in the cabiu
before the collision, but afterward he
and the stove were on lop of the en
gine and the blaze struck up all around
him. lie was severely burnt about
the legs and feet, his shoes having been
burnt to a crisp. Strange as it may
seem there were no fractures.
Tills Is said to be the most expensive
wreck that has ever occurred on this
division. Three engines were com
pletely disabled, to say nothing of the
cars, the track and other wreckage.
A special passenger train was run
from Sunbury to transfer the passen
gers East.
Monday morning an East bound
freight was wrecked at lieu fcr. A
coupling was broken, the cars were
seperated and jammed together again,
piling up and smashing together nine
cars, 200 feet of the side track and 300
feet of the main track, was torn up.
The passengers on the morning train
were transferred and by the afternoon
the trains passed through.
Sunday morning one mile West of
Beaver Springs a lreight was wrecked,
two cars were smashed iiiul u brake-
uiun, Karl Haas, a son of Rev. Haas, at
Selinsgrove, was thrown in under the

Arthur ltoush, who was killed two

ported that Haas will piil his job.

of
ivijlha lUUlOS-
W. W. Hipka, railway mail agent
and Miss Jennie Tobias were married
last Wednesday. The groom has been
in the mail service for several years
and the bride is a young lady well-
known iu this piace.
They will make their future home in
Harrisburg.
Saturday evening the young couph
had a trying experience in catching
the 4:13 train for the State Capitol.
The groom made arrangements with
( iuteliils' hack to convey the bride to
the depot, but on account of the rain,
the hack was tilled with passengers
before the bride could enter and the
driver made a trip to the depot expect
ing to make a second trip, which he
lid, but the hack wo blow in arriving
at the depot.
The train arrived on time and the
groom was there, but the bride was
not. 1 le was compelled to go nu that
train or lie would miss his aniioint-
nient to care for Uncle Sam's letters.
Here came the trying ordeal. It seemed
lie had to choose between deserting his
bride or his appointment. The decision
had to be made ipjickly and the spec
tators were anxiously awaiting the re
sult of the choice. The passengers
were all on board, the baggage was
loaded and the conductor's hand was
on the bell rope to signal the train to
start At this moment the hack up
peared in sight and the compassion of
the conductor subdued his feeling of
duty town i d the company and held lie
train'a nuoute or two, until the bride
and groom were re-united, and the
train pull. -I out and all went as happy
as a marriage lx-11.
It was a narrow escape, but it turned
out all right.

known as Fast Line, prevented w hat
surely wouh. have pi ivcii a disastrous
railroad accident Thursday evening
Injury to many passengers and jmjssI
bly a loss of life.
Willie the train was running between
McClellan and Millersbiirg coming to
ward Sunbury, the engineer noticed a
huge boulder rolling down over the
hill toward the track and realizing
that the train would soon be at the
point where the mass of stone and
ground would strike the railroad, he
applied the air and came ton sudden
stop just as the pilot of (he engine
came in contact with the boulder. The
sudden stopping of the train threw
many of the passengers from their seats
causing considerable alarm and soon a
head appeared at every w indow iiux
ously iiupiiring to learn w bat was the
matter.
When the cause of the trouble was
learned a nuifiU-r of passengers alight
ed from the train and about twelve
representatives returning from Harris
burg, including Culton and Fisher, re
presentatives from North'd Co. assisted
by other iissengers helped roll the
boulder from the track. As it could
not be rolled back toward the hill it
was moved over on the other truck to
ward the river, and shoved down over
the bank to the waters edge ju.-t as the
I tu Halo express went speeding by to
ward Harrisburg, the track being
cleaved just in the nick of tluie to avoid
another accident.
Tho only damage occurmg was a
broken pilot, but all the passengers re
alized their very narrow escape.
