Therefore the train rushed through and tfie engine, mail and baggage cars were ditched by thei de-rail. The engineer and fireman saved themselves by jumping, and no one was seriously hurt. It is reported here that the operator has not been seen since the accident. We understand the damage to the engine and coaches will not be great, although the train was running at a fast clip and it is a miracle that many people were not killed. ' v U
