80 NEAR AND YET 80 FAR. That is the case with Nicholas Barger Tuesday as he crossed the G. R. A I. R. R. at the Moproe street crossing. He came up from the east side and the view of the road is obstructed by the City Mills. He struck the track just before the south bound passenger train came in. The passenger! were all out waiting for the train and everyone seen that he was caught. The women run screaming into the depot, but upon returning found “all is well that ends well.” This seems to have been the case with him for the shrill whistle frightened bis horses so that they jumped and cleared the track. It was so near that you could almost hear the engine strike the wagon.
