The train, which passed through this
city shortly after six o'clock, was made
up Of six Pullmans, with smoker and

of about 80 miles an hour. Suddenly

rife noise was heard, and at the same
time the floor of the car began tc
vibrate as though il were being drag

Williams. who was in the car heard
the noise, and, divining that something
was wrong. jerked the emergency
brake cord. The train quickly slowed
