Capt. A. j. Mossburg, conduc-
tor of the Baltimore and Cum
berland Accommodation, came
near being killed Friday of last
week. The train had reached
North Mountain, when just as
Captain Mossburg was stepping
from one coach to another, the
coupling-pin broke and the train
parted. He fell between the
cars, but with great presence of
mind seized the iron work of the
bumper of one of the cars, and
saved himself from being run
over. The parting of the train
caused the breaking of the air
pipes on the car to which Capt.
Mossburg was clinging, and this
finally brought the detached
part of the train to a stand still,
but not until he had become
nearly exhausted and his limbs
had dragged over the railway
ties for a considerable distance.
He was then taken to his home
in Baltimore and is recovering.
He has been ON the B. & O. fol
forty years.
