A VISION IN WHITE.
In one paper submitted to the Pyschical
Research Society, there is an account of a
remarkable series of dreams which occur
red to Mr.. j. W. SHELTON, railroad en-
gineer, which were first published in Chi
cago in 1886. Six times his locomotive
has been upset at high speed, and each
time he had dreamed of it two nights be-
fore, and each time he had seen exactly
the place and the side on which the en-
CINE turned over. The odd thing in his
"reminiscences is that on one occasion he
dreamed that after he had been thrown off
the line a person in white came down from
the sky with a span Of white horses and a
black chariot. who picked him off the en-
southeasterly direction In telling the
story he says that every point was fulfill

dream was not fulfilled, and in that case
he believes the accident was averted sole
ly through the extra precaution that he
used in consequence of his vision.
