Coal Trestle Mishap

 Last Friday while four loaded gondolas were run in on the trestle from which the locomotives are coaled, one of the cars went over the end of the trestle to the bank below. Sunday the car stood at an angle of 90 degrees, with the front trucks resting on the track. Brakesman Samuel Miller was on the car and jumped to the main line with safety as the car was going over.
