days since the turning of the Tunnel Bridge on
the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad about five
miles south of York. and since learn that the con-
fagraon came very near beng followed ly one
of the most terrible disasters that has lately occur
red in railroad travel. 1t is supposed that the
bridge took fire from the freight trains which pas
sed about 3 o'clock in the morning and the struc
ture was totally cnveloped in flames before it was
discovered by the residents in the vicinity At
about 9 o'clock the frame work of the bridge fell

age named Eli Rheem who. remembering that
the express passenger train was then about due
from York started off at the top ofhs speed to en-.
deavor to stop. the train, which he knew must be
close at hand. AS as he reached the curve
about 200 yards from the bridge. he observed the
train coming on at full speed and fearing that he
would he unable to stop them unless by the use of
extraordinary means. the noble little fellow took
his position on the track, and running toward the
approaching train with his hands raised. caught
the attention of the engineer who Immediately re-
versed his engine, and stopped within four hun
dred yards of impending destruction. the piers be-
ing some twenty feet from the rocky bed below and
the gap some sixty feet wide Had he not placed
himself on the track. he would doubtless have fail
ed in his noble effort. the engineers are so often
cheated by mischeviouS boys on the route that they
seldom pay any attention tn them. Even when he
stopped he thought that he had been cheated by a
youngster with more daring than his associates.
and surprised to see the little nnheaded fell
low stand his ground and endeavoring to recover
his lost breath to answer his question as to the
cause of his interruption. We learn that the pas
sengers when they ascertaned the cause of the
stoppage of the train, and viewed the prccipces
over which they were near being dashed literally
rewarded the boy for his presence of mind and da.

recompcnse. Eli ltheem, boy but twelve year,

THE GOLDEN RULE.--Rev. C. L. Brace is writing
a series of articles to the New York Times, under
the head of "Walks among the poor" Among other
good things we find the following:
Mr. Tracy says he lately had occasion to give
something of lecture to one of the sharpest boys
for cheating and "bluffng' of the younger boy:
and strangers. It's all wrong Thomas Did you
ever hear the golden rule ~ mo, sir, havnt.'
"Well, it's in the Bible-'Do unto others as you

moment as a new revelation, and seemed stagger-
