was the dome was blown off, bolts and bars
shattered and rent, the pilot torn to atoms,
and only the engineer, Tom Trainer, and
the fireman, negro, was hurt-each re-

weighs at least three hundred pounds, was
blown nearly half a mile from the track, and
when it struck, ploughed up the ground for
ten or twelve feet The escape Of the engi.
