" Two locomotive engines played skattlecock with a living man, and he escaped almost unhurt," was the graphic summary given by an eye-witness to the. Melbourne Argus of an accident ■which occurred *t the Flinders Street Railway Station on the afternoon of Sunday week. Porter Edward fiord, while crossing the ii<«from one platform to another, was struck by an' incoming train from Oaktidd. He was lifted off lim feet, and flung against the wheels of an engine shunting on the. next line of rails. It seemed inevitable that the man would be crushed to death, but good fortune- came to his aid. Hewas lifted again and thrown back again* the wheels of the first train which h?i! struck him. The chances were 10 to 1 that he would fall beneath the wheels and be cut to picetr-. but the one chanc-j was lion's. He was thrown against the side of a whell, and fell back into spare be tween the two lines, wheie he lay bruised and breathless until he whs picked up by some fellow porters and n polite t-on-»table. He was taken with all speed to the Melbourne Hc~pit.il. and on being fx ami ned there it was found that \\<- had Mifferni nothing wors» than minor injuries. Fie wa« somewhat cut and hiuis'-d anil badly shaken, but after ticattnent he wax able to leave for his home. Hold i* 'i6 yiMi« of ag<-.
