with the cooling Of hot air, caused a

A Miraculous EsCAPE.-I esterday
afternoon as a train of coal cars was
passing Frederick street crossing, 4 lit
tie daughter of Mr.. John Miller, living
near by, aged about six years, attempted
to cross the railroad track and was
struck by coal car and knocked down
between the rails, and eight cars passed
over her body. The scene was witness
ell by several persons who happened III
the vicinity, and it was a moment of
the most intense and painful excitement
Imaginable.
The particulars are rs follows: When
some of the coal trains reach that street
crossing, it is customary to dctach the
engine from the ears and allow the lat
ter 10 pass on to another track. This
was the case yesterday, and when the
engine separated from the cars, the
child attempted to cross the track and
was knocked down rs above stated.
Mr.. J. T. Hill, who happened to be IN
the foundry, seeing the child fail, ran to
her assistance, but could not reach her.
Fortunately she was not insenslble, and
he kept telling her to lie still, lie still
until the cars pass, which the little GIRL
did, and thus saved her life from being
crushed out by the dreadful wheels III
such proximity. As it was she escaped
with severe bruises about the head; as
each brake struck her in passing over
her PROSTATE form. Upon the whole it
was one of the most pcriliouS situations
we ever heard ola person escaping from
without more serious injmy-C0"JeF-
