4 BRAgEaAN's BhAyERY.--A most
daring act Of bravery WAS performed
on the New York, Lake Erie and West
ern railway d few miles west Of Sns-
quehanna, Pennsylvania, few days
ago. Train No. 40 was approaching
KirkWood q small way station, Thad-
deus Tanpey, . brakeman who was sit
ting IN the plot Of the engine, saw
woman Walking on the track 4 few rods
ahead Of the.train, seized the bell rope,
and gisiug itla sudden jerk, drew the
attention Of tho engineer, who blew his
whistle several times very loudly, The
woman paid no attention but kept on
the track The engineer, reversed his
engine somewhat reducing the speed,
and the brave Tanney gave u lenp from
the head Of the pilot landing on his
feet He rap like a deer np the track, .
and, reaehing the woman, he seized
her with an hereulean effort aud threw
her off the track
The engine WAS by this time within
i few feet of him, and nusterihg to-
gether all his strength, he gave one
desperate bound, landing safely among
ihe bushes along tho track. The brave
brakeman was slightly injured, but the
Womsp'siifa waa saved without her re-
eeiYing d brhiae, When asked why
She It'd pot Leave the track when tho
whistle blew, she said she was fright
cnel,. that she did not know which
track the train was on, or which way
W ge The train was stopped and the
