WRECK NARROWLY AveRTED
Train from Montpelier Just Escapee
Sliding Down Bank.

Middlesex, March 10.-The north
bound accommodation train over the
Central Vermont railway, which
leaves Montpelier at 900 a. m. mar.
rowly escaped being wrecked this
morning at Slip hill, between here and
Waterbury. While running swiftly
down the grade the locomotive drivers
left the iron and plowed along two
train lengths before the train could be
brought to standstill. The engine
did not tip over and the coaches did
not leave the rails. Had the train
gone off the steep embankment and
into the river at this point differen.
story would have to be written. The
wreck delayed the train less than one
hour, the locomotive getting back on
the rails with its own power.
