RACE WITH A wATERspouT.
Thrilling Experience of Passengers
 on Il Mexican Trnfn.

One afternoon recently race was run between a passenger train on the Inter oceanic and waterspout. The race was declared a draw, as the train es- capped from the Immediate effects of the waterspout which burst against the crest of a mountain, but the immense volume of water poured down the mountain side, along the roadbed and finally caught up with the train and in undated it so that the passengers had to be taken off in handcars.
 The particulars of this unique race are highly interesting. It was the daily passenger train from Puebla to Mexico city, and large number of passengers were aboard About 4:30 the sky be- came suddenly covered with masses of black clouds. An inl1y waterspout culebra, as it is called by reason of it's resemblance to writhing serpent, hung from the heavens and advanced rapidly in the track of the moving train. There was great excitement among the passengers. The people in the third class coach, who had the best view of the phenomenon, went down on their knees in prayers for deliverance.
 One lady had a nervous attack and tainted. When the engineer learned of the panic aboard his train he decided to show the culebra his heels. Then began the prettiest race on record, with the lives of q load of passengers as the stakes. Up grade, down grade, around sharp curves, across bridges and over the levels flew that passenger train, with the waterspout just behind and gaining just little.
 The train entered canyon, turned a curve and at the same moment the chas- ing culebra came to grief high up on the mountain side. The water poured down the slopes in raging torrents, and as the train emerged from the other side of the gorge a vast sheet of water, bear ing trees, rocks and all kinds of debris on it's bosom, threatened to engulf it. Wider the engineer threw the throttle, endeavoring to escape this new danger. And all would have been safe, but an- other sharp curve intervened and the engine jumped the track. The engineer saw the danger and reversed the lever ullNl uPB1lNl litC plahSSs l 4lO AhC rolled down the embankment, but the rest of the train, including the tender, remained on the track.
 The next moment the mass of water struck the now stationary train and flooded it to the level of the platforms, The passengers and crew were helpless to do more than look out to see what had become of the engineer and fire man, supposing them killed. But they both scrambled, or. rather, swan, out of the window of the overturned cab, and elambered back on the train.
 This happened in the vicinity of San Antonio Calpulalpam, state of Tax cala. X relief train was dispatched to point as near as it could get, and the passengers and crew of the ship wrecked train were transhipped in hand ears and brought on to Mexico, ar irving here only four ard half hours late, and with an experience which none of them will ever live long enough to forget, and which, had it not been for the presence of mind of a nervy en- gineer, none of them would, in all prob ability, have lived to remenber.-Mex- ican Herald.
