A Brave Engineer.
THE bravery of locomotive engineers has
,ften been dwelt upon and many heroic acts
by the brave fellows have heretofore been
chnOniclcd- One of the most heroic deeds on
he part of an engineer yet recorded was per-
formed recently by Engineer Bond, of Wabash
Engine ~. His engine left Toledo Sunday at
,:55 p. m, pulling the No. 8 west-bound passen-
ser-triin. When nine miles west of Defiance
ohio, ono of the driving-rods broke in twain
IN the engineers side. The fragments tore
Ip through the cab, and threw Bond, stunned
md bruised, back on top of the coal in the
cnder. There WAS great danger of the brok en-
lriving-rod throwing the engine from the
rack and wrecking the train. The broken
'od kept chopping up through the very
pot where the whistle-cord hung, so that
brakes-down" could not he called. The mo-
nentum of the train gradually increased and
he danger of ditching the whole train was
paramount i'll the engineers mind. As he re-
overed himself happy thought struck him
The train was supplied with automatic air
'rakes. If he could but cut the pipe and allow
he wind to escape the brakes would set them |
elves. He put his ideas into action by putting |
lis pcnknife between his teeth and climbing |
own the rear end of the tender, and getting |
'etwecn that and the first coach; he reached |
own while the train Numbered along at fifty |
niles an hour, and mt the risk of his life suo- |
ceded in emitting slit in the brake-hose The |
raics, faithful to their duty, set themselves |
nd brought the trim to q halt ,xit hcut nn,,
