NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
One day last week young Spencer Ship
ley, son of the station agent at the de-
pot, madea narrow escape from death.
He is engaged in peddling fruit on the
cars, and on this occasion jumped from
the train while it was in motion. He
fell between the depot platform and the
moving cars-snd the spectators were
Mortified by the fear of his impending
death. Fortunately his body was par
allel with the cars, and he had presence
of mind enough to lie still and to hug
the platform as his only salvation. The
space was only about two feet wide,
and the wheels came so near that they
cut through his trowsers and grazed the
skin.
