were also the large coal sheds on
the opposite side of the track, in
which fire had started in several
places. The members OF the fire
company and others who assisted
are entitled to great credit for their
services.
QUANTITY OF FREIGHT AND EXPRESS
Station Agent Mckee and the
operator, who, as stated before,
barely escaped with their lives, had
no opportunity to remove anything
from the building, and everything
in the Office, including money,
tickets, books, etc., were consumed.
The door of the safe was left open,
the agent having just taken from
it some books, consequently the
contents were ruined. He also lost
an overcoat and other minor
articles.
There was also quantity Of
freight and express in the ware
house part of the building.
wREcKING CREW ARRIVES.
The wrecking crew arrived from
Marquette early in the afternoon.
Upon arrival of trains, passengers
and baggage were transferred. The
wrecking crew worked all night,
and at 6 o'clock Friday morning
the bridge and track had been re-
paired so that trains could pass.
1t is not known. at present
what the amount of the damage
will be, but it will certainly amount
to large figure.
1t is learned that two other runa-
ways occurred on the same grade
this week, one on Sunday and
another Tuesday, but the crews
of both freight trains were
fortunate in managing to re-
gain control before reaching
the foot OF the hill.
THIRD TINE L'ANsE DEPOT HAS BEEN
DESTROYED.
Twice before the depot at this

this occurring about eight years
ago In each case fortunately no
person was killed.
1t cannot be learned at this writ
ing what action will be taken re-
garding a new building, but it is
safe to predict that the company
will hardly replace it on the same
site.

CARS PILED IN EVERY DIRECTION.
Trestle Over Fall River Badly Damaged and
Cars Smashed Into Splinters--Fortu-
nately no Person Was Killed.

The d., S. S. & A depot, situated
about one-half mile from the
village, is thing OF the past,
having been totally wrecked by
runaway freight train of heavily
loaded cars coming down the
notorious L'Anse hill. crashing
through it. The wreckage then
took fire and was burned to the
ground. The accident happened
Thursday morning about IL o o'clock.
The high trestle over Fall river
was also damaged to considerable
extent by the heavy cars crashing
over it and landing in the river
below.
On the morning in question, en-
gine No. 40S, used as q "pusher, "
with James Farrell, engineer, Ed
ward Delaney, fireman, Timothy
Hurley, conductor, and two brake
men, which made up the crew,
went up to the Summit to bring
back a number of cars. The
train consisted OF twelve cars,
all heavily loaded, some with dry
hardwood and others with square
timber destined for the mines of the
copper district.
Shortly after starting down the
heavy grade, the engineer noticed
that the brakes were not working
properly, and used every effort to
slacken the speed, but to no avail.
The rails were wet, and he saw at
once that it was impossible to re-
gain control of the train, which
was then dashing down the
steep hill like mad, the momentum
increasing with frightful rapidity
at every turn of the wheels.
The whistle was sounded, sending
forth the terrible warning, which
was heard by the section crew
working about one mile up the hill
from the depot.
ENGINEER AND FIREMAN JUMP.
The engineer and fireman, know
ing full well the awful results
which would follow when the train
struck the sharp curve at the depot,
jumped from the engine about
three quarters of mile distant,
and it is wonderful that they
we're not killed, as it is said the
train at that time was going at the
rate of about seventy miles an hour.
Strange to relate, however, En-
gineer Farrell escaped with several
bad bruises on his head, legs and
arms, while Fireman Delaney was
hurt upon his head and shoulders.
Conductor Hurley and the brake
men, when they saw the train was
beyond control, uncoupled the
caboose, which was soon brought
to stop, thus escaping injury.
AGENT AND OPERATOR WARNED.
The train sped down the grade at
frightful velocity. Agent Mckee
and Operator Rebec, who
were working in the depot at the

time, owe their lives to the
prompt action of young lad who
happened to be outside on the
platform, and saw the train com
ing. He rushed into the building
and gave the alarm. The occupants
barely had time to descend the
steps of the platform when the
crash came.
When the sharp curve was
reached, which is within few feet
Of where the depot building stood,
the engine and three cars kept the
track and passed by safely, but the
balance of the train swung from the
rails and crashed through the build
ing. Heavy pieces of square tim
bers and cordwood on the cars
were hurled hundreds of feet
through the air like feathers. Car
wheels, ETC., were twisted and
broken, and thrown in indescribable
confusion.
CARS 60 OVER THE TREsTLE.
:. About two hundred feet from the
depot a trestle crosses Fall river,
the timbers of which were badly
broken and the rails torn up and
twisted out of shape. One large
box car, loaded with cordwood. left
the track near the approach,
and sailed through the air
like a meteor, landing on the
opposite bank of the river, bottom
side up.
NARROW ESCAPE OF GRAPHITE COM
PANY EMPLOYEES.
At the time of the accident Joseph
Countin, Peter Sands, Jr., and Nj.
Malott, were working on a sluice-
way being built for the Hathaway
Graphite Manufacturing company.
They were placing some timbers
along the edge of the river and
within few feet of the trestle.
Owing to the noise from the falls,
they did not hear the runaway
train coming, and the first in
timation they had OF the impending
danger was when two large car
wheels plunged down, landing
about three feet from where they
were working.
Mr.. Halfway, who was near the
roundhouse a short distance away,
saw the crash, and says that
it was like flash OF lightning, then
all was over.
FIRE ALARM TURNED IN.
The engine and three cars which
rounded the curve and whizzed
over the trestle in safety, and upon
which the brakes were set, stopped
about one mile from the scene Of
the wreck.
Soon after the accident occurred,
the fire alarm was sounded, to
which L'Anse Hose company
promptly responded, but before the
long run to the depot could be
made and the hose laid, (Which re-
