A woman was the lone occupant of a passenger coach, which, breaking from the engine on a steep mountain grade of the Pittsburg, Westmoreland and Somerset railroad, near Somerset, on Monday, shot down the hill and leaped from the rails into a stream. Two men were in the car, but when they saw it break loose and run back they jumped off. The woman escaped injury by lying on the floor and grasping the seat supports, but she got a cold dip in the icy stream.
