Night before last quite little
smash-up occurred at the Illinois Cen.
trail round-house, and this is the way it
happened Engine No ia, which had
just left the engine house, was standing
on the track between the turn-table and
the water~tank. The dispatcher, after
firing up left the engine, intending to re-
turn before steam raised, but he had for
gotten to entirely close the throttle, and
when the steam raised the engine CON-
menced backing towards the turn table.
Old man Brackie, who at once took in
the situation and who knew the danger
the engine was in, called to her TO stop
or she would fall into the pit, but like an
undutliul daughter, being head
strong, went on regardless of the old
gentlenan's timely advice, until in the
light of the moon and in the sight Of
Brackie, she came to an untmeiy and
noisy end IN the pit Much
work was accustomed by the acei,
dent and the outgoing passenger train
was thereby delayed until 7 O'Clock yes
terday morning.
