STRANGE ACCIDENTS MARK ROYAL HONEYMOQN END. -j" LUCKY ESCAPES OF DUKE AND DUCHESS. (U.P.A. by Elec.'Tel. Copyright.) (Received April 15, 10.10 p.m.) PARIS, April 15. A strange series of railway accidents linked up the closing stages of the honeymoon of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, which ends to-morrow, when they are due in London by air. The train services from the Spanish frontier to Paris "were disorganised on April 12 owing to telegraph poles being blown down across the track, so the Duke and Duchess were compelled to motor from the frontier to Bayonne, where they caught the express. This was later delayed owing to a bridge catching fire, but the Duke and Duchess reached Paris on time. The same express, travelling at sixty miles an hour on the same route on the following night, near Bordeaux, jumped the rails and was wrecked, three being killed and twelve injured
