A RAILROAD RUNAWAY.
Train Blown = Hundred Miles by .
Tornado.
Isl. Louis Globe-Democrat-l

tSt. Louis Globe-Democratl
An incident which we believe has never
had a parallel in. railroad history occurred
on the Burlington & Missouri Railroad, be
tween Lincoln and Denver. At Akron the
tornado unroofed the round house and did
some other damage. About five O'Clock in
the evening, when the wind was at its
strongest, it started train OF eight box
cars, loaded with coal, that was standing
on the side track at this place. Two brakes
were set, but they were not enough 20 hold
il, and 1t ran through the split switch with
out being derailed, and started east.
The track was nearly level where tho
train started. but there is down grade this
side OF Akron. The wind was so strong
that IL took the train more rapidly than
the passenger trains over this line move,
even on the levei track, aud when II
reached a down grade of course the speed
became something fearful. The operator
at Akron noticed the runaway train soon
after it broke loose and sent the alarm
down the line. Everything was ordered
side-tracked, and the crazy train hal the
right of way. The cannon-ball train bare
" escaped. Marvellous as it may seem,

great part OF the distance almost perfectly

IT is becoming to be a generally
understood. fact that ct the next
winters session congress will ad-
nit Dakota and Montana as States
being democratic and
Dakota republican, makes an offset
politically, and gives celor TO the
positive assurances Of the democrat
ic press aud politicians, that it will
be done. OF course we would pre-
fer to see the Territory divided and
the south half admitted, but State
hood is what we want and If il can
be obtained in no other way than
by admission as a whole, we say let
