occurred a peculiar accident The train
runs from Canastota 20 EImira. leaving
the latter place at p. N. About a
mile from the station at East Ithaca the

pushed back from his post before he could
stop the machinery.
Snow filed the cab. The engineer could
not reach the throttle The engine was
running free from a guiding hand. No
warning 10 the crew could be given, and
the engine could not be stopped. The
fireman crawled over the top of the ex-
press car While the gale howIed about his
ears. When the baggage car was reached
he pulled the emergency cord and the air
brakes stopped tie train
Finally Reidy was freed from the weight
OF snow which had made him useless On
his own engine. The train arrived here
