A Brave Engineer.-In speak,

A Brave Engineer.-In speaking
of the accident which happened to the
special train containing the directors
car and pay car of the W. G. r. R.,
last week, the Ashland Press says {:
The engineer, Harry A. Barnes
stood at his post and by his brave ac-
ton saved both cars and their human
freight from destruction. The wash
out was Etblind" one, and he did not
see it until within twenty feet Of it.
II took in the situation at a glance,
sprang to the steam brake, seized the
lever and tried to reverse, but in an
instant went with his engine into the
frightful chasm. The fireman, E. F.
Hughes, leaped through the cab win
dow and landed safe on the track.
Barnes, by almost a miracle, also es-
capped unhurt, crawled out from under
the wreck, and with smile on his face
assured the passengers who had rushed
to his rescue that he was safe, much
to their relief.
The Directors car contained Hon.
A. J. Turner, State Railroad Commits
sioner, who was on tour of inspection,
General Manager, T. n. FinneY, Sup't..
Guy Campbell, Gen. Freight Agent,
Malone, the Conductor, the porter
Robert, the editor of this paper and
his wife, and Mrs. S. S. Vaughn. The
Pay car contained Paymaster Mcclure
and his assistant, and twelve section
men enroute to repair track injured by
the storm. The whole party was
shaken up pretty lively, but all escap-
ed unhurt. The air brake and the
bravery Of engineer Barnes saved US
all from a dreadful death, for had the
cars followed the engine they would
have been dashed into Bed river, which
was swollen to a torrent, rushed madly
by at the foot of the grade, thirty feet
below. We have simply stated the
facts in regard to the accident. No
words can express the feelings of the
passengers toward the brave and he
roic engineer. Such men are the di-
monds in the great sea of humanity,
and like those precious jewels, rarely
found. Thank God his fidelity to duty
was not accompanied with painful
wounds or the loss of his most valuable
life.
