New York, Aug. 21.-A special to
the Press from Wilkesbarre, Pa, says:
Just before the Bumalo express arriv-
ed here a policeman named Jacob
Phillips, who was on duty in the
northern part of the city, while walk
ing over a bridge that crosses the
Lehigh Valley road, saw something
stretched across the track. He found
it was a thirty-foot steel rail standing
out from a rocky embankment on the
line. It had been placed in such posi-
ton as to strike the cylinder of any
oncoming locomotive. The policeman
awakened several road hands and they

A sparr.w.s odd Experience.

An escape of sparrow at the home
of Mrs. Susan Fox of East I'd street on
Thursday is remarkable enough to be
worth recording, says the Oil City
Derrick. The bird in some manner
fell into the chimney and from there
made its way through two elbows and
several points Of stovepipe into the
back of the stove, through the damper
and under the oven into the ashpan,
where its fluttering attracted the at
tention of Mrs. Fox and she rescued
it. There was a hot fire in the stove
at the time, but the little bird seemed
to be none the worse for its peculiar
journey.
