Landslide At FrenchtownA serious railroad wreck was narrowly

averted one afternoon last week near theKeystone Lime and Stone Co.’s quarry at

Frenchtown. The work train of the Pen-nsylvania Railroad Company was return-ing to Perryville. when Jfhe engineer, C.F. Fisher, noticed a heavv boulder rollingdown the steep hill. He applied his air-brakes, and the train halted a few feetfrom where the Douldcr crashed onto thetrack, followed by tons of earth anJ rock.

But for the presence of mind and quick Iaction of the engineer the train and crew jof 35 men would undoubtedly have been jswept into the river.

H. J. Clark, of Havre,ite Grace, fire-jman on the engine, saw the landslide,jumped from the moving train, and badlysprained his right ankle.

A north-bound passenger train had justcleared the point where the accident oc-curred. The tracks were torn up for sev-eral feet and traffic waS delayed for. abouttwo hours. It is said the slide was dis-lodged by a heavy blast at the quarry.

The flood of water tore greatboles in the embankments, and the lowgrade track, which is one hundred feetabove the Susquehanna, was carrieddown into the stream. The hillside hasresumed its natural slope and the taskthat is before the railroad people consistsof building two shelves on the slopes—-one 25 feet high, and the other 75 feetabove the first.

The rain lasted, over an hour andcaused the worst flood known for twentyyears.
