following particulars Of an exciting race IN
which The sleeds were iron horses and The
stakes greater than have ever been known
on any track. Mr.. Rucker had the facts

day last week as the Eastward bound Elk

seDger stepped off when the engine was
being replenished with WOOD and water
and walked back and forth on the plat
form and continued to walk until the
whistle sounded. The other passengers
got on board and the train passed off, but
the gentleman still walked on. A few
minutes alter the train had gone, station
man saw the pedestrian, and going up 10
him asked in a surprised tone
"What the h. are you doing here Z
The man star,rd-opened bis eyes, and
looked aroInd bewildered. The fact was
he had been iaIigued, and had dropped
asleep while walking. Rousing himself,
he asked
"Why where am ?"
"Where are you AT La Porte"
"Where's the train came on ?"
That left ten minutes ago"
"Ten minutes ago, and left me! |
mus, 90 on that train. 1t is question OF
life and death with me Can you get me

Where is the Superintendent"

and procure an engine. The traveller STA

would put him on board the train. This

the station master 10 hasten to do what
he could. The FIRE was not out in the
engine that had drawn the train 10 that
point-the bargain was seuled-a draft
given to New York for the $3.50, and in
ten minutes The traveller started with an
engine to overlake The flying Express.
After rushing on for thirty or forty miles
some connection gave way about the en-
CINE. The engine was sIOPped-the en-
gneer found Ihe difficulty, and in very
few minutes had WOOden pin whitfield

Of course many miles the start of them,
and despite the wooden pin the engineer

country at fearful rate. Thirty miles
Of the distance passed was run in twenty
seven minutes. but the engagement was
that they should overtake the train and do
it they must, and do it they did, but not
until more than one hundred miles had
been run, and they were approaching To-
ledo. Having a, length overlaken and
stopped the train and hurried on board,
