and faster and cheaper and less odoriferous,
yet the horse turns up at his annual show
in greater numbers and finer shape than

gether again with great crash. An.
other freight train. going in the op.
posite direction, was passing at the
time, when one Of the eolliding cars
reared up, swayed from the track and
tore the cab from the locomotive. The
engineer, William Zigafaos, and the
fireman. James Brader, were hurled
from their seats In the cab. The en-.
gineer was thrown up on the side of
a hill, but he did not lose his pres
ence OF mind. He knew the throttle
was wide open, and as the engine was
going up steep grade he had no
difficulty in catching up to. it, and
climbing on board succeeded, in shut
ting of the steam and bringing the
train to standstill. Fireman Brader
escaped with slight injuries.
