NARRow ESCAPE OF \ TRAIN-TRAcK DIS
PLAC ED BY THE HEAT OF TIE SuN-Tho train
which left Buffalo yesterday afternoon for
this city, narrowly escaped being thrown
from the track by the displacement of tho
rails, The train had only proceeded coup
lie Of miles before il was stopped by signal
from some of the track-men, who had found
the rails bent in two places. The train came
to stand still without accident, when an
examination Of the track as made. 1t ap.
peared that the heat of tho sun had SO ex-
banded the rail that it had curved each way
it being the combination rail-fully six
inches out Of line. All of this expansion
must have taken place within two or three
hours, as not more than that time had clap
sed since trains had passed over this track.
Il appears that when the track was laid the
rails had not been placed far enough apart
to allow for the greatest possible expansion
under the heat Of summer. The passengers
felt much relieved when they learned the
cause of the stop and tho narrow escape
they had made.
1t took about one hour to fix the track SO
that the train could pass 1t then came on
and nearly made up the time to this city,
coming down in one hour and fifty five min

HoRRIELE.-As the mail train coming
from Chicago was running along at its usual
rate, near Anawan, child was discovered
by the engineer, sitting between the railing,
with basket by its side, but before tie
engine could be stopped, the engine and
entire train PASSED over it. The engineer
informed the assistant superintendent, who
was on board, that it -#a: impossible to
AVOID the accident, as he mad not discovered
the child in time. As was natural, the en-
gineer and al. on board felt exceedingly
uncomfortable at causing the death of an
innocent child. The train backed up 20 the
spot, where every body anticipated seeing
nothing but the remains of an innocent lit
! Ito one, with its tender limbs, perhaps
shockingiy mangled.or completely crushed.
Judge Of the surprise ofaI, when upon ex-
animation, the object Of interest was discoy-
cred to be a childs dress stuffed, and made
TO represent a small chSu. The engineer
acknowledged himself sold. and Immediately
struck for the engine and set the train in
motion. This is pretty good joke, and re-
suited without harm, but ne doubt the pro-
priety of such things being practiced. II
