Lightning Bolt Spared the Cross.
A glided crucifix, emblematic of the
most sacred event In Christian history,
stands- untouched on the spire of St.
James' church at Waverly, a town
about two miles from Sayre, Pa., while
beneath the woodwork Is splintered by
the destructive baud of uature. A bolt
of lightning during a recent thunder
storm struck the cross, but left It unin
jured. The woodwork beneath is torn
to shreds and looks as though It had
been gripped In the clutches of a colos
sal giant. The stairway leading to
the belfry is demolished, and the sides
of the church are damaged, but the
crucifix still gleams In tbo noonday
aun untarnished.
CAUGHT ON '
II TRESTLE
Train Rumbla* Over Him? All Thrta I
Etcap* With Thair Uvea aa by a
Miracle ? One Girl's Arm Broken, the
Othar but Littla Injured.
Caught on a trestle with his two lit
tle daughter* by a (ant passenger train
and too far from either end to save
himself or his children, F. H. Yehllng
of Edwardsvllle, Mo., tossed the girls
Into the valley and, dropping over the
ends of the ties, clung there while the
train thundered past.
Yehllng and his daughters, Marga
ret, twelve years old, and Elsie May,
aged eight, had taken a long-walk Into
the country, und as hazelnuts are
ripening the young folks Insisted that
they take along some bankets.
Returning with well tilled baskets
shortly before noon, they chose to
cross the Mooney valley, Just east of
the town, by means of the Clover Leaf
railway trestle Instead of the more
circuitous route the highway offered.
A little to the east of the trestle Is a
curve In the track which shuts off the
view sharply and conceals trains until
they have almost readied the bridge.
The Yehllnga were halfway across
the 500 foot structure when they
heard the rumbling of a tralu. They
looked back and saw nothing, but
hastened their steps.
Almost In a moment fast passenger
train No. 7, from Toledo to St. Louis,
roared out on the bridge. The en
gineer saw the trio fleeing along the
ties and, with a warning shriek of the
whistle, sent the air brake lever to the
emergency notch. He knew that he
could not stop In time and forebore to
whistle again for fear the three would
lose their self possession ami become
hopelessly entangled In the track.
Yehling tied toward town with a girl
by either arm until a backward glance
showed that the train was almost up
on them. Then he shoved Margaret off j
to one ;l?le and, grasping Elsie by the '
arm, swung her free of the track and
dropped her Into the valley.
He did not know how deep It was at i
that point aud had no tliue to pick out
a spot for her to light on, but merely
threw her from the bridge with the :
Idea that one fate was uot so terrible
as the other. I
Almost with the same movement
Yehllng threw himself over the edge
of the trestle and, gripping the ends of
{ho ties with hie finger*, ctiiftf thorc

with a desperate effort he drew him
self back to the track and started on n
run to And his daughters.
In this he was Joined by the train
men, the express having como to n
stop just on the other side of the
bridge.
They found Margaret unconscious
north of tho track, but little Injured.
She had struck a declivity and bound
ed Into some bushes, which broke the
fall.
Elsie was ou the south side of the
bridge, halfway to the stream. She
had falleu twenty-two feet and rolled
down the slope. The child was moan
ing, and examination showed that two
bones In her left arm hud been shat
tered.
The three were put on the train and
taken Into Edwardsvllle, where their
hurts were Immediately attended. The
mother fainted when the children were
carried into their home, and the entire
family was In a state of nervous ex
citement all the afternoon.
Yehllng Is chief engineer for the Ed
fcrardsvllle Coal company's mine No. 3
and resides wltb his family on Cherry
atreet, in tho south part of Edwards
Yllle. He said:
"It was a fearful predicament. The
bridge lii eighty (cat high at the cen
ter, and, while" u-e bad run some dis
tance toward the west end, I had no
idea how hlr tt wax to the ground at
the point we stopped, I was afraid tt
meant death for my children when I
threw them from the bridge; bnt I
knew they would be mangled If wo
remained another moment and toot i
what seemed to' be the best court#.'* j
Stung to Death by a Baa.
Mrs. W. S. Richardson, a farmer's
wife, living a few miles east of Bowl
ing Green, 0., a suburb of Toledo,
died within ten minutes after being
stung by a honeybee. She was at (
work In the garden when the bee bou- |
ed about her until she was excited 1
and then stung her under the right j
eye aB she tried to fight It off. Her
husband heard her cries and hastened
to her side, but she became uncon
scious Immediately and died while be
ing carried to the house. Death wu
due to apoplexy caused by the stin*
and the excitement. She leaves a h co
hand ami six children.
