From Death Under Train.

MERIDEN, Conn, March 16.-The
quick wit and action of Joseph Cox saved
baby from death under an express train
at the local New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad station this evening.
The and-a-half-year-old child of
Joseph Florilla was in baby carriage on
the station platform when the New York
express came in. The suction of the train
drew the carriage toward it.
AS the vehicle rolled forward the front
wheels took the lower level of the plat
form. and the child was thrown into the
air. At that moment Cox .sprang out of
the horror-bound group of spectators on
the platform, caught the little one and
bore it back to safety. The carriage was
drawn under the express and crushed.
