The feature Of the week has been the

tRted Into a River,

LYNN, Mass, Oct 3l.-The Rockport
express on the eastern division of the Bos.
ton and Maine road had u narrow escape
from being precipitated into Saugus river
yesterday afternoon through tho failure,
1t is saia Of the airbrakes to work. As it
was the engine OF the train went into tho
river, while the tender and first passenger
car werc both derailed and left hanging
over the edge of the draw within few
feet of the rushing waters.
The Saugus river draw was opened to
allow coal barge to pass through as the
train approached. Tho train slackened
speed, but 1t pushed on In spite of every
effort on the part of the engineer to apply
the brakes and bring it to standstill.
The train hands managed to stop the
train by the hand brakes but not before
the engine toppled over into the stream.
Engineer Doherty and Fireman jameson
were roscued from the river somewhat In
jured There were nearly 800 passengers
on the train.
