Da fx AS, Tex., July 15.—A thrilling
accident occurred oil the South l'at'K di-
vision of the Union l'ncillc road which
eauie near costing several men their lives.
A south-hound Ircight was rtinulug ctiu-
.luusly down the long, deep grade near
lioj'cns. This is one of the most danger-
ous points on the roa I. as the Hue w.uds
aioiiiid di irp curves aloiu the edge of a
high precipice. At some 01 the points
these p eciulces nre almost perpeu llcuiar.
As tiie Height iu i|iiestiou was tm-slng
one of these points a rail was by some
tncans displaced. Tho next instant the
two box ears next to lite caboosn were tle-
ridleii. A brakeuiau who was standing
on one of the c.irs, realizing his peril,
pimped to tiie gro ind. and he iml barely
alighted when the two cars, curried by
their momentum, era-bed over the side of
the precipice. For a second it looked as
though they would drag th> caboose with
them, hut happily lite coupling broke.
There were three men iu tiie caboose and
had it gone over the yawning chasm the
u.en wottl i have been killed. Ihu two
ears were smashed to splinters.
