S largely exaggerated. The facts in the
case were, that rs train No. >, coming West.
was approaching the trcstle this side OF
Springfield, al a reduced rate of speed, two
wheels Of the tender jumped the track, and
while of. the trains ran about two hundred
and fifty feet. None Of the passengers
knew of the accident till the train stopped,
and the same is true Of the train men, ex
cept the engineer, fireman and conductor,
the last named Of whom jumped from the
Tlatform. but sustained no damage except
an ugly rent in the rear Of his fashionable
summer irreprcSsi5les. The ''accident"
was so slight that it hardly demanded a
report from the engineer at the master me-
