New Brunswick, Sept. 26:-The
Adams express train running through
this city at the rate of about seventy
miles an hour at GAO o'clock this
morning, tore up about forty feet of
track, causing flying pieces of rail to
play havoc with buildings and con-
tents about Bayard street and almost
caused a wreck of another express
which was following. The presence
of mind of Joseph Castner, an en-
ploye of the Pennsylvania freight
yard, who was aroused when flying
piece of rail crashed into his home,
probably prevented a serious wreck.
Another express was following and
had the accident occurred outside of
the city, where it might have been
unnoticed for q time, 1t would un-
doubtedly have been wrecked. Cast
ner left his breakfast table and hur-
ried to a telephone to send word to
the Milestone powerhouse to flag COM
ing trains. His house was badly
damaged.
Rails, ties and track ballast were
hurled in all directions when the ac-
cident occurred. One piece of rail
was thrown IT'S feet into the grocery
store of Frank Hasse at 130 Bayard
street, crashing through a glass
showcase, counter and landed in
large cake of cheese.
