NARROW ESCAPE OF A TRAIN.
ENGINEER WARNED OF LANDSLIDE BY
BOY ON A WHEEL

Pittsburg, April 22-One OF the thrilling incidents
connected with the flood conditions prevailing IN
this State the hairbreadth escape from de-
struction OF the Pennsylvania limited train west
bound. near Tyrone yesterday. A boy riding
wheel frantcally the side of the track wildly
waving his cap, gave the warning to the engineer
that saved the train from going full speed into
landslide. Even with the warning the train ran
into large rock. knocking off the cowcatcher OF
the engine. and Pullman was so badly dam
aged that it had be taken out Of the train
None OF the passengers We're hurt. At Altoona an
other engine was secured, and the damaged car
was taken out of the train. Some of the pas
sengers said that they thought the train must
have been running nearly sixty miles an hour when
the passengers suddenly josted in their seats
by the application of the brakes by the engineer
Some who were looking OF their windows at
the time saw the boy the wheel waving his cap
as the train flew by him. The engineer had a diff
cult task IN stopping his train. The train
only running fast, but IL heavy, and the rails
slippery, which made checking its speed more diff
cult. ]. r. Francis, former Governor of Mis-
souri,, was one of the passengers the train.
