A CAR BoUScEs INTO A DWELLING
HousE-A remarkable accident occur
red in Pittsburg one day last week. A
coal train was backing into the yard of
a rolling mill when the rear car jumped
the track, careening to the right, and,
with sudden plunge, pitched into the
kitchen of house near by. The car
smashed and completely crushed in the
lower portion of the building, AT the
time of the accident woman was sitting
near the window, and on hearing the I'M
usual noise at once jumped for her little
child, two years old, who was playing be-
fore the door. She does not know what
then occurred, for she became iusensible
and when she came to she was lying un.
der the coal car. She crawled out and
found that the car was in the centre of
the room, and that she was under the CEN
tire table. In the rear of the room she
found her little babe lying in the cradle
fast asleep, not having been at all dis
turbed by the strange occurrence.
