Some strangers in the city were
very much excited when they heard
that the Sunday train had jumped the
track. Of course they imagined all
sorts of horrors, and some of them
walked out to the scene of the alleged
wreck. That is one thing which may
be said in favor of Lancaster's train
service-nobody will ever be killed
by it. A train may jump the track
with perfect IMMUNITY, and without
so much as turning a hair on pas-
senger or trainman. So on Sunday,
after bit of work with the jack
screws, the train came ambling in as
calm as a morning in May.
