The long railway trestle In the Cata wissa Valley, about a mile from the Ring town station of the Philadelphia & Read ing railroad, was the scene ot a terrible accident last niuht in which a farmer named Jacob Fisher was Instantly killed and his wife was so bidly Injured she may not recover. Fisher and his wife spent last night visiting neighboring families and to re turn home were obliged to cross the trestle, which 1m the longest on thesystem of the P. & R. railroad. Before starting to cross they stopped to see if a train was approaching as the trestle is a single-tracked one. A freight train came in sight around the curve near the trestle and the couple waited to let It pass. It was a long train. When the last car passed Fisher and his wife started to cros3 the trestle. It is custom ary when trains having a front and rear 'engine approach the trestle to cut from the rear engine, so that he latter will not be on the trestle with the train. This was done last night, but the trailing engine was shut off from Fisher's view by the cut. Fisher and his wife had walked several yards upon the trestle when i,the rear engine rushed upon them. Tho umortunaie people were uuzeu uj ma sudden plunge into danger. Fisher quick ly recovered his presence of mind and prepared to take his chances on the trestle rather than leap over tho side, the distance to the ground being very great. The story of the critical situation is told by the wife. "We'll take our chances here," he said, at the same time .picking his wife up in his arms and throwing her upon the cow catcher of the engine. The brave man had no time to Bave himself. The engine was upon him In an instant His body was caught by the wheels and before the gaze of the horrified wife the head was cat off. It rolled over the sills and then dropped between them to the ground beneath, being crushed to jelly on the rocks. The. body remained under the train. Meanwhile the engineer had reduced the speed of his engine, the headlight having brought the doomed people to his ylew, but too late to avoid the terrible affair. The engine was stopped after running a few yards past the place where Fisher was killed and the crew alighted. Mrs. Fisher waB found clinging to the cow catcher. She was alive and conscious, but was unable to speak. The terrible experience seemed to have deprived her of most of her sense. She wns gently re moved and placed in the cab of tho engine, where it was found tnat both her legs were broken. Tho crew of the engine summoned assistance from tho nearest farm house and had Mrs. Fisher and the body of her husbaud cared for. FUher was about forty years ot age and his wife was ot about the puuie age. They had three children, the oldest being a son seventeen years of age, who was out with a pleasure sleighing party last night and did not hear of the terrible occurrence until he bade the party a merry good night aui entered hla home.
