NARROW ESCAPES.
Number Of Thrilling Railway Incidents
Recalled.
(From the Pittsburg Tlmes.)

tfTOm the PlttSDufB IlTneS.)
When a heavy express, rushing along
at nearly a mile minute, leaves tho
rails. crashes tio another train or crash
es through bridge. the marvel Is not
that the death roll should be heavy, but
that anyone should escape alive. Yet even
In the worst accidents it is very rare that
more than half the passengers are kill
ed. The Tay bridge disaster, in which
the whole train plunged into the river,
is almost the only railway accident on
record in which there We're no survivors.
The catastrophe which occurred on
September II, last, near Dover, Oklahoma,
strongly resembled the Tay bridge acct
dent. A train plunged through trestle
bridge over the Cimarron river. and the
engine and five coaches out OF the seven
dropped into the rain-swollen waters be-
low.
A Mr.. I.eist, one of the few survivors.
had a most extraordinary escape. Feeling
the bridge collapsing, he sprang from the
