pany, at 1.25 O'Clock Sunday morn
ing. four men were forced to abandon
the car on the tracks to avoid being
run down by an approaching train.
The train was travelling at rate of
only about - miles an hour. and when
the engineer saw the car lodged on
the ties of the track, he brought his
engine to stop, but not before it had
run into the car, smashing the rear
end, and breaking off a wheel. The
men were running the car along the
road, but when they reached the rail
road crossing, instead of continuing
on the public road they turned down
the southbound tracks and run over
the ties for some distance. No one
was hurt. The names of the occu.

though it is known that they were
Wilmingtonians. Why they ran the
car down the railroad tracks has not
been explained.
