Runaway Freight Car.

A runaway freight car that started on
the side track south of the Rutland rail-
road drawbridge at Burlington Tuesday
morning caused considerable excitement
and came near crushing the life out of
A. Donnelly, the veteran railroad man,
who was at work under the draw bridge,
where the car plunged. An empty coal
car was being switched on the spur track
beside the Queen City Cotton mill. when
the brakes refused to work. There is a
big grade there and the cars speed
quickly increased. Three men who were
on the car jumped to safety, although
considerably scratched and bruised, and
men stationed about the draw bridge and
on canal boats, which were about to pass
through the draw, raised warning shouts.
Mr.. Donnelly, who was oiling part OF
the machinery under the draw, heard
the warnings and looked up in time to
see the car about to topple over upon
him. He managed to climb up one side
of the iron work of the structure, how.
ever, and thereby saved his life. The
car plunged into the open draw, the bot
tom part being buried in ten feet Of
water and the other end resting on the
bank. A tow line that was extended
through the draw, snapped like linen
thread. The bridge gang Immediately
went to work on the wrecked car and il
an hour was able to close the draw Sc
that the road was not blocked by trains
Later the wrecking crew arrived from
Rutland and removed the car and one
truck which had been buried in the sof
mud underneath the water.

HOME AFTER 20 YEARS.
Minister Finds Wife's Second
Husband In Jail and Adopts
FamiIv

Bloomsbury, Penn, July II. After
more than twenty years of adventure,
during which he wandered as far as
Honolulu and supported himself princi-
pally by sign painting and paper hang
ing, the Rev. John Taggart, Metho-
dist minister who was thought to have
been drowned in the Johnstown flood of
1889, returned to his home here to-day,
just in time to rescue from poverty the
wife of his youth. Taggart found that
his wife had married John Van Horn
during his absence and had a seven
year-old son and fifteen-year-o daugh-
ter, but that Van Horn was in Columbia
County Jail serving a sentence for a
statutory offence. Mrs. Horn was over
joyed to see her former husband, and
Taggart will remove the family to
another city. He gives as the reason
for his long absence the gossip of the
townspeople and i'll health. IN. Y.
