   The Midland train from Scipio, one evening last week, lost the passenger coach this side of Freeville and, though the train besides consisted of but the engine and baggage car, the loss was not discovered for some time. The Ithaca train which was just behind that for Scipio was warned by the red light on the detached car and thus a collision was avoided. The car was pushed ahead of the Ithaca train when matters were righted.
