AN AWFUL SUSPENSE.
Conductor Woods's Life Saved In a Way
that Seems Almost Miraculous.
ICourier.J Journal.

lNOuIlBIsbouthdLI
One hundred feet in the air, with the
falls roaring beneath him and heavy train
rumbling above him was the position IN
which William Woods, IA conductor on the
j. NJ. and |. railroad. found himself last
Friday at midnight. Yet 10y miracle his
life was saved.
MIR. Woods had charge of the bridge
freight train. which hauls the loaded cars
from this city to the Jeifersonvliie yards
on the way to their northern destination.
On Friday night his train consisted OF
about thirty cars, drawn by a Mogul en-
glne. There were two brakemeh BESIDE
himself, and at midnight the start was
made. Woods was n the front end OF the
car next to the engine. and was climbing
down the ladder 10 step on the tender. Be
fore he gained q foothold, however, the
ladder, which was an old one, gave way be-
meath the weight upon 1t. Lake hash he
disappeared between the ears. and fell
through the narrow cross-tieS OF the
bridge. Fortunately he succeetc IN grasp
ing with both hands a projecting iron bar,
TO which he hung while the tram passed
over him.
MIR. Woods is not a strong man. and be-
fore half of the train was over has strength
was nearly exhausted. He called loudly
for assistance, but the roar OF the tails
and the rumbling of the train drowned
his cries. and II Is doubtful If man pass
ing OH the footway could have heard him.
Several times he was on the point OF re-
leasing his hold. and had he done so his
body would have been dashed TO pieces on
the rocks below. But the Thought of his
wife and children at home. he says. I'M
bued him with additional strength at the
critical moment, and he managed to nold
on.
When the last car had passed his arms
were stliTened and almost numb. Besides,
he was so weak that he could MOI draw
himself up between the ties, and Il seemed
as If he had only escaped death under the
wheels so meet an equally horrible tall
upon the rocks.
Just as he had resigned himself TO his
fate and his stiffened fingers We're slipping
from the iron bar to winch he held, there
was football on the pine boards above
him. Several glimmenng lights appeared,
and moment later he was lifted 10 the
top by strong hands. The other trainmen,
il appears. had missed him soon after the
accident, and five minutes later they had
stopped the train and began searching
along the track for him. He had probably
hung there ten minutes before they dis
covered him. and had they not done SO
lust at the moment they did he would
probably have never been found. The
bracine air soon restored him and he was
able TO walk back to the caboose. IL Will
be several days, however, before he is en-
tirely himself again.

BODY OF AN UNKNOWN MAN
Dead, Decomposed, and Found Floating In
the Potomac-Coroner'sI Inquest.
correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l


ALEXANDRIA, Va. September II, 1890.
Early yesterday morning the badly-de-
composed body of an unknown white man
was found floating in the Potomac on this
city and was picked up and brought into
the American Coal Conpany's, docks.
The Coroner was notified and tho body
was removed TO Domains undertaking es-
Enlistment, where il was examined. The
Coroner found what he thinks to be a
wound on the forehead near the left
temple.
The body had been in the water som,
time. "a the nose, one side of the face; and
the hands are missing, and the body so
badly swollen that 1t hardly bears any
.emblance 20 human being. In the
pockets was found a brass key and some
S27 in money.
1t is thought by the authorities here
that the man fell from some boat. tor If he
had been killedhi money would have been
taken. The inquest will be held tonight,
when some of the Washington authorities
will be down to examine the body TO see IL
il is not that of the missing man Andrews,
OF Washington.
