NEARLY WRECKS A TRAIN
Discovered in time.

Last night the first section of the
Sells-Down Show tram left Conving-
ton where the big show exhibited
yesterday, for the next stand on tho
l.. q N. X. II. Every thing went
along smOothely and the trainmen
had orders to run about twenty miles
per hour. At Glencoe IA heavy grade
is encountered, and for miles il is n
matter OF rise and fall on this special
piece of roadbed.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
For many weeks one of the taain
hands who Is stationed on the has
car that precedes the mammoth box
in which the elephants are housed,
has been in the habit OF feeding the
celebrated elephants Nero with ap-
plies and other sweets. AS soon as
the section moves this elephant is on
the lookout with his trunk protrud-
ing through the end of the car for
his reward. Last night his apples
were not forthcoming and either his
patience were exhausted, in some
manner his trunk managed TO catch
the bar that unlocks the Janney
Couplerand the train was cut IN two.
Later the engineer stated be felt his
engine leap ahead aud the train dou-
BILE its speed. This being unusual
going up grade. he decided to inves-
tigate when the top was reached.
The elephant will no doubt in the
feature miss his dainty feasts, but
the great Sells & Downs Show will
exhibit az advertised in Tazewell,
