A Brave Bishop.
The Bishop of Newcastle England while recently standing on the platform at Bilton station, observed a man not quite sober taking the crossing at the north end of the station. A fast goods train rushe-d into the station, and, without a moments hesitation, the Bishop see* ing the danger the man was in of being killed, ran to the spot, and seized him and just in time cleared the line Avith his burden. So near was the escape that an eye-witness states that the Bishop's coat tails were seen to touch the train.
