Miraculous Escape From Death.

The railroad accident at Delphi Friday morning which.was briefly mentioned in the items of yesterday, did not result in the death of either of the occupants of the buggy buttheir escape was miraculous. Mrs. Oliver Bragunier and ten-year-old son, were in the buggy and the collision occured when the horse’s front feet were in the Center of the track. The horse wds thrown about 40 feet and instantly killed. The top of the buggy and the occupants were thrown up on the pilot of the engine, and in that perilous position were carried for a quarter of a mile before the train could be stopped. They were taken to Delphi and their injuries attended to. Neither sustained a broken bone, and both will recover. According to the account in the Delphi Herald the trainmen exempt from responsibility.
