in Bois d Arc bottom, two miles east OF

OF baggage-car, two coaches and sleeper,
was ronning at the rate Of fifteen miles
an hour over the trestle that spans the bot.
tom, when the rails spread and caused the
engine, baggage-car and one coach to
leave the track. Fortunately the cars did
not fall off the trestle, which was twenty
feet high thereby avoiding a terrible
catastrophe. No one was seriously il
jured. A peculiar circumstance in coE-
