J., at 8.30 o'clock this morning for Jersey City, Jumped the track at Pompton Lake. The loco- motive and four coaches plunged down a slight embankment and the coaches toppled over on their sides. A fifth coach left the track, but re- mained upright, Only six persons were injured. The train had beet on the road less than fifteen minutes when the accident oc- curred and had not taken on many Passengers. The injured were cared for at a hotel near the scene cf the wreck. At the point where the accident occurred the rails are laid on an em- bankment crossinc low ground. The warm weather of the last few days thawed out the embankment and per- mitted some of the ties to sag. As the locomotive reached the depressed ties the rails spread and the train went into the ditch, The locomotive broke away from the tender and re- mained upright. Drs. Thorne, Messenger and Mc- Donald of Butler hastened to the scene of the wreck and ministered to the Injured, one of whom was found to be very badly hurt. Three others sustained severe cuts and contusions, while the other two escaped with bruises. John McGovern, a passenger, had a miraculous escape. He was seated near the door and when he felt the car leave thé track he sprang to the platform and jumped to the ground, rolling over and over in the ditch.

Mcintyre, counsel for the husband, “Well, one day I chanced to look into the parlor and there I saw Miss Montgomery reading aloud to Jimmy (Mooney), and if I remember rightly the book she had in her hand was the Rubalyat of Omar Khayyam.
