Am Engineers Dash.

They frequently encounter fearful expe-
riences in railroad travel out West, an
example of which has just come to our
notice, as described in the Gold Hill New
Ne,os. 1t relates to the passage of train
of cars through a burning tunnel, and de-
picts o rough, daring and heroic deed on
the part of Johnny Bartholomew, as the
engineer is Familiarity called. This pas
sage of a train from Reno through the
burning tunnel, the other side Of the
American Flat, will have to stand recorded
as one of the most brilliant as well as for
tunate dashes ever made under such cir
cumstances. Johnny Bartholomew, one
of the best engineers that ever mounted
locomotive, says the local journal, had
on this particular occasion happened to
change off with Charley Mccormick, the
regular engineer of the Reno; therefore
he was the hero of the occasion. There
was no trusty Waterman or anybody else
to give warning Of the impending danger,
and the train was around the curve and
into the tunnel before the fire which was
raging there could be seen.
The tunnel is SIX hundred and fifty feet in
length, and the fire being in the opposite
end, there was little time for thinking or in
which to weigh chances, and certainly not
enough for stopping. The deep red, roar
ing flames, and dense, black smoke were
ahead, and it looked like attempting mad
rush through Tophet, but there was no
other way for it. The lives Of the passen-
gers and all hands were in the care of
Johnny Bartholomew, and nobody knew it
better than he. His first impulse was to
reverse the engine and whistle down brakes,
but his quick conclusion was that
that wouldn't do, as he would be
liable to fetch up in the very midst of the
raging flames, SO with resolute jerk of
the lever he 'threw her wide open. The
Reno gave an angry snort and rushed mad
ly forward like freed racer, with whirl-
wind speed, right through the fiery mass.
Johnny held fast to the lever, closed one
eve, held his breath, and tried to think of
some prayer, for he knew that the chances
of life and death were about equal just
then. He imagined he could feel the
hot rails bending like lead under
the wheels, and both felt and heard the
blazing timbers and other fallen obstruc-
tions on the track being dashed aside by the
trusty cow-catcher. The women passen-
gers screamed, and even the stoutest-
hearted men quivered with sudden fear as
they dashed through the fierce, hot light,
but in another instant the gauntlet was
passed, and they safely slowed down in
the cool, gray morning daylight beyond.
Dirt, stones and blazing bits of timber
on the cow-catcher, and the shower of
burning Goals covering the train, showed
how dangerous were the distractions so
safely passed, yet they had rushed through
SO quickly that the paint on the passenger
coaches was not even scorched. Johnny
cannot rush an engine through that tun-
mel to-day, for every timber throughout its
entire length burned out as clean as shot !.
gun, and huge cavings of earth and rock
render it impossible for many days to
come 49, Globe
