lying in newly dug grave. Happily

At the station in Philadelphia she

wreck on the Mobile and Ohio in thir-
teen years occurred Wednesday night
at IL o'clock, four miles south of Ma

third car from the engine drawing a
train of cars loaded with high grade
lumber, jumped the track, and hitting
the end of the bridge, crumbled it uE
like a stack of straws, and carried with
it 300 feet of trestle. Through traffic
will be delayed three days. Fighter
cars, all loaded with high-grade lum
Der, are piled up in the creek. Three
wrecking crews, consisting of between
200 and 300 men have been working
night and day to clear away the wreck
and repair the bridge and track.
