Two Railway Heroes

Pittsburg special Of the oath TO the CONNER
cial, details an act of heroism the part of two
trackmen on the Baltimore and Ohio Road which
should be remembered TO their very great credit
The special says:
About 2:30 O'Clock this afternoon John Sullivan
and his brother Michael were at work on the
track near Demmler Station. John Sullivan Wa
section boss on the subdivision between Nc
keespoIt and Port Perry, and he had made a
tour along the track TO see If everything was In
proper condition. He found rail that was not
quite straight. aud SO he and his brother took a

the afternoon accommodation train east with
heavy load OF passengers, came along. There was
u curve just below the place where the men were
working, and they did not see the train
until ii was almost upon them. They took In the
situation at glance. The rail which they had
been hxlng was lifted up, and the huge crowbar
was wedged tightly in such position that the
train would certainly be thrown from the track,
track was hill, and on the other a steep bank,
running down to the river so, il the train was
thrown from the track while under full head
wa! of steam, there would undoubtedly be an
appalling loss of life. The men seized the bar
aud began frantically TO pull and twist it about.
The engineer of the train saw them, but could
not stop. He says that their efforts TO free the
crowbar and lower the rail were frantic, and like
the workings OF mad men, and they seemed TO
forget their own danger.
The bar was loosened and the rail lowered Just
as the train reached it. but the men who had
worked so nobly paid for their daring dearly. The
engine struck them and killed John instantly, and
mangled Michael so badly thst he died in short
time. The men were married and leave families

JOHN SHERMAN has great trouble in catch
ing the eye of Vice President Arthur. II
Arthur had the cataract of Niagara in his
eye, his inability to see Sherman could
scarcely be increased. 1t will be remem-
bered that once upon time-January 81,
lS79-Senator Sherman addressed a polite
note to Vice President Arthur, saying:
Gross abuses of administration have continued
and increased during your incumbency.
Persons have been regularly paid by you who
have rendered little service; the expenses
Of your Office have increased, while its receipts
have diminished. Brides. or grstuities in the
shape of brfbes have been received by your sub
ordinates In several branches of the Custom
House. and you have in no case supported the
effort to correct these abuses.
And as If this were not enough to make
the Vice President eternally infamous
Sherman had the Presidential fraud say to
the Vice President, then Conkling's chief
fugleman in New York:
With a deep sense of my obligations under the
Constitution. regard II as my plain duty TO sus-
pend you, in order that the Office may be honestly
administered.
Now. John Sherman can't catch the eye Of
Arthur. He can't catch his ear. Arthur
remembers those brogans. He thinks of the
brand of infamy Sherman placed on his
brow. He can't forget the kicks. And
things are not lovely in the Senate.

GOVERNOR PORTER AND THE COR

Ills EXceflency, Governor Porter never
