He had barely done this when the engine tore over the crossing, just escap- ing the front beasts and hitting the wheelers, whose heads were barely over the track. On account of the customary mode of harness- ing four-horse teams of this kind, the lead mules were not stirred by the impact of the smash-up. It is said the train was late that morning and, since its speed ordin- arily is very great, it may have been going at a rate even exceed- ing sixty miles an hour. The en- gineer apparently didn’t know he had struck anythnig, for the train was soon out of sight. The accident was a thriller of the rarest kind and Mr. Stauffer, though displaying unusual powers of self-possession, was considerably un- nerved until some time afterwards. DR.
