ad BURSTING OF THE AIRE AND CALDER CANAL
ad AGAIN, AT BARNSLEY.—SERIOUB DAMAGE.—On Tuesday
=a evening, the canal which runs near Barnsley again burst
its banks, doing serious damage. The water was observed
to be gradually lowering, when a large aperture was dis-
covered near the aqueduct, a place where it has previously
burst twice within a very recent period. Every effort was
put forth to dam the hole up if possible, but to no purpose,
and the water was run off for a distance of nearly half a
mile. The water thus liberated made its way into some
low-lying grass land beneath and beyond the arches of the
aqueduct, where it did considerable damage. Of course
the traffic on that part of the canal is stopped, and several
id pits have been brought to a complete stand, and the men
id thrown out of work for the present.
CHASE OF A RUNAWAY TRAIN.—On Monday
afternoon, an exciting incident took place in the vicinity
of the Batley station on the Great Northern Railway.
A goods train had started in the direction of Bradford,
and on reaching some collieries a mile or two distant
from Batley, it was stopped in order that a few coal
trucks might be attached. Whilst the shunting was
going on, one et the coupling chains in the rear snapped
asunder. The latter portion of the train thus liberated,
ran backwards at a rapidly increasing speed, the line
having a great fall towards Batley. The guard, who
was in the van, put on the brake, but such was the ,
momentum of the train that it was only partially checked. 1
Danger was rendered the wore imminent from the fact ,
that a passenger train from Batley was shortly expected I
to come up. The driver of the luggage train (George
Dyson) reversed the engine and made an attempt to
catch the runaway trucks. Unfortunately, he miscalcu-
lated the speed, and the result was a violent concussion.
Several waggons were smashed, and Dyson was flung into
the air. He fell heavily on the ground and sustained
serious injuries. He was taken to the infirmary, where he
now lies in a precarious state. A considerable time elapsed
before the lino was cleared.
