ized in the daily additions which are
being made to the list of deaths from

Great hardship and distress are| en
tailed upon the keepers of tlio various
lightships and lighthouses, who ,u«t
only have not been relieved from duty
for fifteen days, but have not been itjp
plied with provisions within that time
owing to the impossibility o* sending
boats to them.
The necessity of affording them
prompt relief to prevent them iroin|t>er
ishing is now regarded as of paramount
importance and efforts will be ma« at
once to relieve them and provision tin*
stations. It is assumed that nearly
every one of the liglitshij« and jig'ht

wore to the list of those killed, while

and was approaching the long trestle
across Wilkerson creek when the tender

The engineer reversed Ins engine, lint
before the air brake could chock the
speed of the train the locomotive and
baggage car had cleared the trestle, but
the sleeping and smoking couch went
over into tlie creek, both taking tire al-
most immediately and being consumed
in a remarkably short time.

could lie accomplished the heat of the
burning cars became so intense that they
had to withdraw.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A rtiyaiclß > UrasfMl Owr th« Tloa by
n Kallr«*ad Train.
Mt. Holly, N. J., Jan. 29.—A well
known physician of Mt. Holly, I>r. Wil
liam 4 hamberlain, had a narrow escape
from instant death at tlie passenger
station here. He was a passenger on
the train from Philadelphia, which, on
reaching Mount Holly, ran considerably
past the station, owing to the refusal of
the breaks to check it.
Dr. Chamberlain with others got olf
the rear car and walked towards the
end of the platform, when without any
warning the train began backing. The
real' cur struck tile doctor, knocking
him down. The crowd expected to see
him mangled or killed under the wheels,
but in falling he managed to seize the
lower part of the hand rail, and in this
position he was dragged over the ties
and switches, fearing to release his hold
lest he should be thrown under the
wheels.
Finally the shouts of the passengers
called attention of the fact to the train
hands, and the car was stop[ted. Be
yond a number of severe bruises ami
slight scratches the doctor was found to
have been uninjured.
