',,s fr1v-two miles this side OF CAIRO, ana
tye miles from Carbonate, at O'Clock yes
t,r,iav morning, when, in turning sio'a
curve the sleepins-car IN the rear oecanl'
rpcoup!ed. The balance OF the tiI'" piv
oreded some distance before the mishap ""s
discovered. Mr.. Morgan, the conductor, -, o.
soon AS he discovered the sleeper was W. W.
tacbed. turned his train back AT ono. -,
knew that the northward bo'iha l'els. ~. w. a..
was close behind. and there WIS 'i' 'iio ~
lose. ,,,,,,, ,..ro al,
,s,aan md knew nothing Of the accident or
,hn d.ngcr ;mpending from the approach CT
,hc frci..ht train. AS the train approached
.ho slccninc.car Morgan heard the freight
train coming Mt full speed around the curve.
4 collision was inevitable. There was but
one way to slve the sleeping passengers, and
that was TO rouse them and get them to jump
ont upon terra trina. Morgan lost no time
In thinking about it, but lcaped from his
tr,in. and. running to the sleeping-car, used
his stentorian voice in awaking the passen-
gers. He pounded the sides Of the car anu
called upon the passengers to get up instant
", and to save themselves ny jumping out.
Bv this time Morgan's train had backed u
the slccpcr. and it was quickly coupled; but
at the moment the freight train came III
sight, laundering around the curve.
The passengers were by this time wide
awake. and conscious OF the peril OF their
situation, they leaped to the ground, hciter
skeitcr. pell-mell, some with their ncthef
garments futtering in the morning breeze,
some with their clothes III their hands, some
with one leg in their pants and the other our.
There was no time for the ceremonies oil the
toilet. Death was staring mt them through
the great glaring eye of the headlight. They
s,raur from the car without knowing where
they would land. Any place was preferable
TO the slceping-car.
Mr.. ,Jewett Wilcox went out like flying
trapeze performer, aliShtinS in pond, ana
going kerchug up to his neck in mud and
water. Others aightcd on all-tours, and got
ont before the train struck the car. The
crash of the collision was terrible. The loco
motive of the freight train WAS crushed, the
sycepinr-rar reduced to splintcrs, and two OF
the passenger coaches badly damaged. Luck
iv none of the passengers were seriously III
iurcd. If they had remained moment
longer in the sleepinS-car half Of them would
undoubtedly have been killed or crippled for
l;c. Mr.. Wilcox escaped with slight con-
tn SIGN, Mr.. Green received black eye from,
his leap, and several others were scratched
ana somewhat bruised. All regard it us Il
miraculous escape. and unite in ascrlblng
tho preservation of their lives to the presence
of mind and energy of Conductor Ncrsan -
