There came near being a very bad accident at Alain street railroad crossing Saturday morning. As train No 80 was leaving the station, the pay train was coming next the station on the pass track. As 80 cleared the crossing, Ben O'Neill, a negro, riding horseback, attempted to cross ahead of the pay train, but the train was so near that the horse became frightened, and started down the track. The negro finally managed to get the horse off the track, but not until the train was in about two feet of the horse. It was certainly a hair-breadth escape. ANEsToFoWLS.
