A Terrible Railroad Race.

PURSUED DOWN HILL BY A BLAZING OIL
TRAIN,
John Dawson, who was one Of the Oldest
engineers IN the country, was recently
killed on locomotive explosion on a West
saw a child playing on the track some dis
lance ahead. He ran out to the pilot, and,
reaching over, caught the child and tossed it
to one side of the track. He lost his bal
ance, however, and fell in front of the loco
motive, and was crushed to death. His
death recalls an incident Of which, though it
occurred ten years ago, is considered as one
of the most terrible experiences that have
ever been recorded in the history of rail-
reading. Dawson was then an engineer on
the Buffalo, Cory and Pittsburg Railroad,
and was descending grade of 80 feet to the
mile, between Maysvile Summit and Broc-
ton Junction, on the Lake Shore road, the
distance being fourteen miles, with immense
sweeping curves. 10 the train there was
one box car. six loaded oil cars and two pas
senger cars, the latter being at the rear of
the train. He had got under Roadway, when,
seeing that one of the oil cars was on fire,
he whistled down brakes, cut loose the pas
senger coaches, and disconnected the box
car from the oil cars. The engine then
pulled on down the hill, to get out of reach
OF the burning cars, in order to save the
locomotive and the other car, in which were
two valuable trotting horses and their keep.
ers on their way to Cleveland. The brake
man neglecting to brake the oil cars, they
followed down the incline, continually gain
ing Roadway. and in full blaze came dashing
into the box car at the rear of the engine.
Dawson opened the throttle, and there was
commenced race for life between his train
and the flaming cars under no control.
Though he went faster than ever engine
went before, the burning cars were close in
the rear, and the horses screamed with
fright, while the heat was intense. The
blaze from the thousands of gallons of burn
ing oil was more than sixty feet in height,
and lighted up the woods and rocks and
crooked road for miles. The whole heavens
we're Illuminated, and from Brocton the
sight of the great confagration, apparently
flying through the air, now hidden for
second by cut or piece of woods, and
then leaping out again and up towards the
sky like huge fountain of fire, is described
as having been awful in its grandeur. Das
vison, as he approached Brocten. whistled
for an open switch, which, being understood,
was promptly obeyed, and the race was
transferred to the Lake Shore track, where
the track being ascending, the cars soon
came to stand-still. The oil continued to
burn for three hours. The fourteen miles
from the Summit had been accomplished in
twelve minutes. Dawson and his fireman
both tainted when the danger was over.
The horses were ruined. James keenan,, the
fireman on that occasion, was killed.
