The Narrowest of Escapes.

The locomotive damaged by the accident on the Air Line railroad last Saturday night is at the repair shops in this city. The repairs will take some time, but the damage to the locomotive is not serious and is covered by few hundred dollars. The damage to the freight was absurdly small, considering the manner in which the cars were shaken up and knocked around. The principal damage was to three barrels of empty lager beer bottles
 The damaged locomotive has been gazed at particular interest from tho fact t6at as a result of the accident it hnn8 over the yawning abyss below the Hmm yia1uct. almost balanced, nearly one half of it pro. ieoting over the chAsm. It MI 5ery near Y hslaacsd on tho sdss of th1 | edpios.
