EXTRAORDINARY RAILWAY ACCIDENT
AND NARROW ESCAPE.

STROUD, Tuesday.—A singular and extraordinary
accident has just happened on the Great Western branch
railway, running from Swindon to Gloucester, which
might have ended in a deplorable loss of life and de-
struction of property, but which was happily avoided by
the promptitude and presence of mind of a railway
official.
It seems that a heavy goods train was proceeding to
Swindon from Gloucester, and had entered the Sapper-
ton tunnel, between the Brimscombe and Tetbury-road
stations, when one of the coupling chains broke, owing,
it is presumed, to the weight of the train and the steep
teas of the incline at this part of the line. By this acci-
dent 41. trucks became separated from the engine, and ran
at first slowly down the line, but very soon attained a fear-
