HOW A COACH WAS SAVED.

Here is a view of the railroad wreck on the Wabash system at Cass station, six miles from Logansport, Ind. The picture shows the narrow escape of one of the coaches. While the rescuers were at work this coach was a constant menace to their lives. Fifteen were killed and many injured in the accident, which was caused by a culvert being washed out. Conductor Brownlee, who had charge of the wrecked train, tells a story of how his life was saved by taking warning from the apparition of a hand thrust in front of his face a few minutes before the accident. Instead of commencing at the front of . the train to collect tickets he began at the rear as result of the warning given f>y \the phantom hand. Brownlee says he expected something was going to happen.
