most remarkable ESCAPES on record WAS
that of IL passenger on the last express
Monday. Soon after the train passed
Charlton lie attempted to 90 from one ear
To another. and the terrible wind actually
blew him clean from the platform. The
mortified brakeman. who saw the man
90 overheard like leaf in the gale
Immediately pulled the signal cord. and
the train waS stopped. after running
about an eighth of mils. The brake
man sprang from the rear car and ran
down the track with Il red flag. when.
wonder to tell, he met the man running
to ovcrtalc the train. and apparently
chiefly troubled lest the passengers
should he inconvcnicncrd hy the de
tcution. He got on ut the rear of the
train and made his way quickly To the
seat where he had left. and sat quietly
down. His wife turned to him and re-
marked: "Why. they say Il man WIS
blown from the train just now ," ''l>
that 81 ," said he. Presently Il num-
hcr of Interested passengers who had
followed him to his place. asked 80
earnestly after his welfare that the true
state of the case dawncd upon his wife.
and She exclaimed: "Why. WAS it for
you that the train stopped ?" And he
