one. P. NJ, Thursday last, had q narrow escape
from terrible accident. As the train was go
ing through Hopokus, wood pile fell over upon
the track at the middle of the double curve run.
ming along the edge of the preeipice some 6fty
feet deep. The wood cutter being confused,
ran IL, the wrong direction and fson the depot,
whore the coming train might have been sig
nall,ed and stopped. The train rushed by over
the bridge spanning frightful chasm, and with
out pause passed round the first curve to the
second, where it stumbled over the fallen wood,
giving the engineer just time to reverse The en-
CINE, sound the whistle to break up and jump Tor
his life. The locomotive and tender rolled down
the bank, breaking the coupling which connec-
ted the o;ier cars, and leaving them safe. II
il thought that II the occurrences had taken
place twenty feet beyond the whole train must
have gone oser.
