BRAVE ENGINEER.
SANDY Hook, Sept. 14.-What might have
been very serious accident this morning on
the Sandy Hook route of the New Jersey Cen
trail railroad, was averted by the GOODNESS and
bravery of an engineer. The locomotive
drawing the 8 o'clock express from Long
Branch, as it neared curve at Sandy Hook
and only few hundred yards from the pier
where the Jesse Hoyt was waiting for Its
passengers, burst one of the hues of its boiler,
scattering boiling steam on the engineer and
fireman. Although the train was running
rapidly, the fireman jumped off leaving the
engineer to master the engine at his own peril
and that of the passengers. He proved him
self hero and stood by until the train
stopped. Had the locomotive been abandoned
by both men the train would have thundered
down the dock and crushed into the Jesse
Hoyt and fearful accident would have re-
suited.
