Ten Miles In Eight Minutes-A Methodist
Week of Prayer-The Hot Term Over.

Correspondence OF tnc hichihohu Diop-'eh'I
GRAHAM, Va, August 13.-Yesterday at
ternoon while the engineer was doing
some switching at Tip Top, ten miles west
of here, on the Clinch Valley division OF
the Norfolk and Western railroad, two
dead" engines and two cars loaded with
wheat broke loose from the train and
started at break-neck speed down the
grade in this direction. The agent tele
graphed along the line to keep the 'tracS
clear. and several efforts to derall them
proved fruitless. The runaway train made
the distance-ten miles-in eight minutes,
and was only stopped when it struck the
bottom of the heavy grade just east OF
town.
