Two Thrilling Experiences.

The Martinsburg Journal says that
a big Pierce-Arrow car, driven, il is
understood, by James Cavanaugh, Of
Harrispnburg, Va, and carrying his
family, was driven of the east side of
the crossing at Flagg's crossing about
GAS o'clock Saturday night and settled
astraddle one of the side tracks, with
the front wheels locked on one side
OF one rail and the rear wheels equally
securely locked on the opposite side
OF the other rail- The driver with a
1ashlight, after the occupants OF tho
car had been taken to safety, went &c

was unsuccessful and the train rush.
ed by in the night. To the amazemen
OF the occupants of the car, as well
as TO the surprise of a number of local
people who happened on the scene and
were trying to help get the car out Of
danger, the car was not touched. A
few minutes later a fast east-bound
freight rushed by on the other track
and again left the car unframed. Be-
fore another train could pass the groun
OF people, by united effort, were able
to push the car from the tracks out of
danger to the side Of the road, where
Mr.. Cavanaugh went to the drivers

ceeded towards Shepherdsmwn.
A much more serious adventure be-
fell the kavanaugh party yesterday
near Newmarket, Md. They were re-
turning from Baltimore on the State
road when Mr.. Kavanaugh's car skid
ded and collided with a car in which
were four Hagerstown men. The
crash was a terrific one and the &C.
cupants were thrown out violently. Mr..
Kavanaugh was injured internally and
will probably die, and his wife was
cut and bruised very badly. All Of the
Hagerstown men were considerably
hurt, John S. Lillard having one of his
arms fractured in two places. The in
jured were taken to the Frederick City
Hospital. The Kavanaugh car was de-
molished in the collision.
