ner, atNIansfield, Ohio, gives n clear account OF
his sensation ut the time of the accident on the
n. y. [ entral Railroad, at Sanquoit Greek, by
which six persons were killed, and about forty
wounded He says it is the third time he has
been through a similar scene within nine
months.
The first intimation Mr.. Shube had that all
was not right on the train, he heard Shrek ap-
parcntlv ION n female voice, Immediately fol-
lowed by cracking sound. Having made up
his mind that the surest way of escaping lwu-
ries upon such occasions, was to make last 10
something, he graSped his seat firmly, and was
Immediately carried, seat and all, over the head
of the man in front of him. He felt the tire
flash from his eyes by coming in collision with
the head Of the unknown man, who was lying
dead in the baggage room. Mr. Shube SAYS he
distinctly heard the crushing sound OF breaking
bones rs the old man was thrown against the
side of the car. He says it sounded In his ears
like that produced by dog 'cTnu"cht"y the
bones off,: partridge" and to him the most
/ horrible noise he ever heard. He thinks the
old man died instantly.
Mr. Shube was in the second car; he saw
shower OF splinterS flying and got glimpse OF
daylight shining through the end car as he went
I down following the engine, tender, baggage ana
/ first passenger car. The third car struck the
second in the end and dashed i III pieces, il
I heap of ruins Mr. Shuhe assisted out OF the
midst of the wreck by friendly hands; his inJu-
ries are q Spraiucd hip and one of the small
bones Of his leg broken. He says the hip Is
injured in the same place where its iirnncsS
was severely tried on the Erie road, bat he
speaks confidently of being on his way again
in n few days Few men live 10 pass through
Such scenes as Mr.. Shube has Experienced
/ His own escape, well rs that OF many others,
stops little short of the miraculous.
