VA fine incident is related Of lad who,
standing in the crowd the other day, witness
ing the burning of the Tunnel bridge on the
Baltimore and Susquchanna railroad, was tho
only one who had presence of mind enough
to remember that the express passenger train
would be few minutes due from York, and
must, if not arrested, make the fearful plunge
upon the rocks beneath. lie started off at
full speed, met the train, stood upon the
truck at the risk of his life, and with both
hands raised succeeded in stopping the cars
just in time to save them from the otherwise
inevitable destruction. The passengers it is
said literally rewarded the boy, and the Di-
rectons at their meeting magaanimousy ap-
propriatrd-one hundred dollars. The boy
whose name is Eli Rhecm, will probably
think twice before he risk his life again for
such a despicable reward.
