Singular if True.

A gentleman coming from Clifton
Forge on Sunday evening reports two
curious accidents on the r. s. A. branch
that day. 1t seems that the door of q
freight car became detached just as the
train started and fell on 8 bystander,
badly bruising him. The car was imme-
diately turned into the shops and the
door rehung. Again the same evening
it was made up with the train and some
distance down the road the same door
fell on a section master, knocking him
senseless.-SentineI
