The Charlotte Observer con denses this peculiar account of a railroad accident. ' "The ofher day two middle coaches of a passenger train on the Lehigh' Valley "Railroad left the rails while the train was "running at high speed. The coaches" ran on'the cross ties for nearly a mile and " then jumped had- to the rails. As wonderful was this performance equally a sremarkable-was the fact that nuiu' of the train crew knew any of the t ars had lelt the. rails until they had gotten back in proper position.- The, "jolt caused by the 'ars' .rt-turn to the rails caused tc.ndiu'tor to stop the train in or d'T ti, s,, what was the matter. Investigation , then made showed that some of the ears, then on the rails, had been running on the crosties for some distance. This i one of the most remarkable rail way accidents on record, is voush fd for by a special corespondent t The Pl.iladlelp'fua Record.
