A Runaway Trail /.

The most hair-raising episode that
ever happened to New Mexican
Mountain railway train fell to the lot
of Conductor Biessingham Thursday
afternoon at three O'clock, on the
west slope of Glorietta Summit. The
train comprised nearly thirty loads,
and as it entered upon the descent,
Jake Brown, the engineer, threw on
the water brake, but found that it
was broken and would not work.
the train gained a momentum to such
frightful extent that the switch
cables and hooks lying on the pilot
base in front were hurled from their
place into the air, breaking one of
the locomotives gaurd. rails. Brown
called for brakes, but the train men
had already set every enc, and real
lied that the train was beyond their
centrol. Seeing that nothing could
be done to stop the mad course the
train was running, Brown jumped
from the cab while going at the rate

Franklin's Swimming School.

On Milburn's first evening at
Carlyle's the conversation happened
to turn upon the associations con-
nectad with Chelsea and its neigh
hood. Whereupon said Mr.. Carlyle:
swell, sir, this part of the town,
think, should have an interest for the
people from your side of the water,
for it has associations connected with
a certain countryman of yours named
Benjamin Franklin. When he was
toiling as journeyman printer in
this metropolis, more than century
ago, he was accustomed to stroll upon
Sunday afternoons along the banks
of Father Thames and this end Of
tile Cheyne Row was usually his
goal. One day as he was discouring
with a friend, he declared himself
able to swim from here to London
Bridge, distant five miles. His friend
offered wager that it was impos-
sible; and he upon the instant,
stripping, plunged boldly in and
started for his mark, while his friend,
bearing the clothes, strobe down the
bank, and great multitude of spec
tators growing ever greater as he
proceeded, followed to see the feat.
He, with brave stroke and lusty
sinew, buffeted the tide, gained the
bridge and wager whereupon, amidst
great acclamations, the people sug.
gested to him that he should start
a swimming school. But God had
other work for him to do for in later
years he was to teach the people of
your continent how, by frugaIity and
labor, and patience and courage, any
man might buffet the waves of for
tune and swim straight on to pros
perity and success. And that was
the Swimming School which he was
to establish."- CdrLyle's Zu6le- Talk.
