Two cars of down freight train on the
Canal railroad yesterday morning at o'clock
went off the track on the down.grade near
the Grove street cemetery. They were load
ed with ice. They went wide enough from
the track to let the rear cars pass them.
Neither car overturned. The brakeman on
the car which broke in two was thrown into
the ditch and struck by some of the cakes of
ice which slid out after him. His only inju-
ries are few bruises. The cars ran short
distance on the ground after leaving the
track, stopping only when the trucks were
wrenched from under them. The rest of the
train was quickly brought to a stop. The
shock from the derailment was violent
through the whole train, but resulted in no
injury to any of the hands.
Master Mechanic Fox had the wreck clear
ed away at half-past o'clock 1t caused de-
lay to the passenger train of half an hour.

A Freak of the Nerves.

Thomas Ward, the man who lost one OF
Ills legs on the New York and New England
road two weeks ago, complained early in last
week of an intense pain in the instep of the
amputated foot. John Benedict, neighbor,
who had heard of cases where an unusual
pressure upon an amputated limb has caused
pain 10 the owner, made test of the truth
of the belief Wednesday afternoon. He
took up the box in which the limb was bur
led. He found a heavy shoe on the foot
closely pressing it. The shoe he cut away,
and doing up the foot in cotton and soft
cloth returned it to the box and it's grave
He said nothing to Ward of what he had
done, but Ward ceased right after to com
plain of the pain.-D0nbaky.u Neaos
