AccIDENT.-On Tuesday last w. M. R.
r. train got beyound control on heavy
grade In Shippensburg and ran of de.
railing switch, the accident blocking the
track for some hours but doing little damage.
1t prevented, however, p. &. r. passenger
train from going through to Chambersburg
and, after having discharged its passengers
it started to back up this same grade. 1t
was dark, and as i'll luck would have it, just
at this time Car load OF oats got beyond
control of the brakeman at the top of this
grade and rushing down, collided with the
passenger train. The conductor and brake
man were Oh the forward platform of the
passenger car; the former jumped just as the
car was passing over a bridge and he landed
in the water: the conductor for some reason,
probably hoping to be able to clear the bridge
first, failed to jump in time and was caught
between the cars and was instantly crushed
to death. The brakeman on the freight Car,
when he found the brake worthless, knowing
that the passenger train WAS standing at the
foot of this grade, stad on the car and by
calling loudly succeeded in alarming every
body. He jumped before the collision oc-
Cured and escaped serious injury.

The BacOn-Shakeapea Folly.

Jonn riSke IN the November Atlantic.
Some time ago. while looking over a
wheelbarrow load of rubbish written to
prove that such plays King Lear and

from one OF the least poeticai and least
humorous minds of modern times, I was
reminded OF a story which I heard when
a boy. / forget whether it was some
whimsical man Of letters like Charles
Lamb, or some such professional wag as
Theodore Hook, who took II into his head
one day to stand still on a London street,
with face turned upward. gazing into the
sky. Thereupon the next person who
came that way forthwith stopped and did
likewise, and then the next and the next
until the road was blocked by a dense
crowd OF men and women. all standing "a
II rooted In the ground. and with solemn
skyward stare. The enchantment was 1T
last broken when some one asked what
they were looking at and nobody could
tell. II was simply an instance Of cer-
tain remnant OF primitive gregar!ousness
OF action on the part OF human beings.
