DRIVERS PERIL.
Was on Crossing in Way Of Approach
ing Train.

Charles Matthews, colored, employed as
driver Of a team for V. Baldwin Johnson,
coal dealer, narrowly escaped being killed
by train on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road at 4th and I streets northeast this
afternoon. 1t was only by reason of his
having complete control of the two horses
he was driving. and being an expert driver.
that the team was not struck by the train.
Matthews was driving south with load
OF coal, and his horses We're upon the tracks
almost directly in front of an incoming
train before he was aware of its approach.
Persons who were on the sidewalk and in
teams near the crossing at the time turned
their heads in order that they might not
witness what threatened TO be a terrible
accident
The driver proved equal to the
emergency, however, and by a quick turn
managed to get the horses off the track,
remaining upon the scat and saving the
animals at the risk of his own life when
he could have jumped and been certain of
saving himself. Just as the near horse
was pulled off the track the train came
along the engine striking against and
breaking part of the wagon. Matthews
held his team In the turned position until
the train had passed, and did not seem to
fully realize what a narrow escape he had
had until 1t was all over.

Decision at London in Divorce
Case

LONDON, February 26.-The divorce
court today held that a marriage 'by habit
and repute" contracted at st. Paul, Mimi,
without either church or civil ceremony,
must be considered legal in England. A
question arose regarding the legitimacy of
the son Of Alfred and Ida Newman, who
lived as man and wife at ST. Paul from
1880 to 1880, when Newman, who is a bar
onets son, brought his wife to England
His family insisted on the necessity for a,
church marriage, which was performed in
1894. the couple being respectively, de-
scribed as a bachelor and spinster This
false description led to the question of the
legitimacy of the son and his right to sue
coed to his parents property.
