Railway Accident Caused by Heat.

A passenger train on the North Brit
ish railway met with a curious accident
which engineers,attribute to the intense
heat which prevailed on that day. The
train when rounding a curve left the
rails and ran on the ballast for nearly
400 feet before it could be stopped. This
state of thing was brought about by the
spreading of the rails from expansion
caused by the heat. According to the
report the thermometer ON that day
and at that point registered 1913 degrees.
The derailing occurred at noon while
the track was exposed to the full rays
of the sun. The expansion took place
within few hours, as an inspector had
passed over the road during the fore
noon, and everything appeared to be
in the usual condition. As the train
approached the spot the engineer saw
the rails were badly warped, and al
though he at once applied the brake, it
was too late to stop. The curious feature
Of the mishap was that the engine re-
manned on the track, having gone safe
" over the spread rails. In connection
with this account comes the statement
that the road had not been kept in the
very best condition.-N. Y. Ledger.

The question Of grading or plank
ing the strip of heavy sand on the
A mphion and San Antonio road is
being agitated by the people along
the entire western portion Of our
county. Mr.. Parker was talking it
up in Pleasanton last week, and
we think his ideas are feasible.
| IIa oouc al NV oap ha bod alamo tho
road for two or three miles, and it
would not cost much to plank the
balance. When we think of the
immense amount Of produce that
is carried to San Antonio over this
route and of the great extent of
fertile country 1t would help to
open up, we can realize the SUI
preme Importance Of q good road
through that terrible sand. The
same reasons apply to the Pleasan-
ton and San Antonio road. To
grade or plank that sand would
have the effect Of carrying our
county about ten miles nearer to
San Antonio. The question ought
to be agitsted until something is
done. If but one mile a year could
be fixed it would not take many
years to have good road when 1t
always will be impossible to haul
a load, unless it is improved some
way. We believe that II the mer-
chants here and at Amphion would
take hold of the matter they could
get private subscription from mer-
chants in San Antonio, and the
land owners, who would be bene-
fitted by it, Ito induce the counties
to take hold and help.-Pleassnton
