A MARROW ESCAPE.
From q Serious Railroad Accident

LEWISTON, Feb. 10.
An accident that resulted more fortunately
than might have been expected. occurred at
the Upper Maine Central station, Thursday
evening. As the West bound freight ap-
preached the station, the track frame broke
on car loaded with lime. The car was
about midway of the train. As the train
broke, the end of the car dropped upon the
tracks, just as it was passing under the bridge
above the depot. As soon as possible the
train was brought to standstill, before any
other damage was done. If the break had
occurred between stations, serious conse-
quences must have resulted The lime had
to be transferred to another car, and it was
II p. NJ. before the track was cleared for
the passage of trains.
