BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
Narrow Escape for White Mountain
Express.

An almost miraculous escape from a
serious disaster occurred yesterday to the
White Mountain express bound for New
York just below the station of Hartland,
within a few rods of the high bridge
over Luis brook. The train was a heavy
one and was running at speed of about
so miles per hour The forward trucks of
the tender of the locomotive left the rails,
and bumped along over the ties until 1t
reached the frog of a switch. when the
truck was thrown back upon the track
again. The yanking Of the tender caused
the front part of the locomotive to jump
up and it came down so heavily that all
the springs were flattened out, so that the
pilot rubbed along on the rails until the
train could be brought to a stop The air
brakes operated quickly but the disabled
locomotive ran twice the length of the
train before it came to a stand-still. The
passengers in the train were not badly
shaken up and the engineer and fireman
thought their time had come while the
tender was running over the ties and the
locomotive was jumping around so dan
gerously. delay of about an hour and a
half was caused by getting the engine on
the side track and procuring another The
train consisted Of a baggage car and eight
Pullman cars.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Building Trunk Line Highway in Win
chester.

The Lane construction corporation of
Meriden, Conn, which has charge of the
building of the trunk line state road in
Winchester, has been making rapid prog
ress the past few weeks. About 2Ih miles
have been completed which is about half
the distance which it is proposed to build
in that town this year. Native crushed
stone Is the material being used and the
completed strip is an excellent road.
though 1t may be inferior to a regular
trap-rock road in point of durability, as
the native stone is considerably softer.
The construction gang is now working
alongside the Ashuelot river, between
Hinsdale and Ashuelot village, which is
probably one of the most difficult stretch
es to be found on the West side trunk
line At this point, the road is narrow
ana tortuous, requiring much straighten-
ing and considerable grading. This con-
diuon is Offset to a large extent, however
by the fact that excellent building mater
ial is directly at hand nearly all of the
way. The automobile traffic is suspended
on the road for the present, necessitating
a circuitous route of several additional
miles, though teams are allowed to pass
on an old road which has long been
thrown out Of use.
