with a crowd OF Sunday travellers
from Eagles Mere was lassoed by
a trailing telephone wire Sunday
evening. When the engineer found
that his train was entangled in the
wires he brought it to standstill so
swiftly that many passengers
thought that the train was wrecked.
All were shaken up. The wires
caught ON the top of coach and
before the train came to halt one
pole was dragged down and the line
otherwise damaged. The train
crew cleared the track of the broken
and trailing wires and the unseated
pole. -Towanda Review.
