Farmer Was Fortunate.

Fortune smiled upon drunken farm
er last evening on this side. The man
drove horse attached to light buggy
from Trips crossing to the Lackawan-
ma avenue crossing on the railroad
track at 1890 o'clock. He was coming
down the main road from the North
End in a drunken stupor. When the
railroad crossing was reached the horse
turned down the railroad track and fol-
lowed the rails to the Lackawanna ave-
nue. crossing, where the buggy became
fastened in a switch. Lieutenant WILL
iams and Officer Tom Jones found him
there, and the vehicle was released and
taken to Wymbs' barn. The farmer
was locked In the station house. The
man was peculiarly fortunate Fully
twenty minutes were occupied in COM
dng down around the bend on the
tracks. The horse walked in the down
track and at any time a train was like
ly to strike the turnout. As 1t was, a
train was about to collide with the
travellers, when railroad men stopped
1t within several yards of the man. He
Is now in Jail.
