It is related of Colonel Thomas Scott
that once, about ten years ago, when max.
ing one of the swift trips which he was in
the habit of making over the lines under
his control, his train was STONED bv the
wreck of freight trim. There were a
dozen heavily loaded box cars piled up on
the road, and it would take q long time to
get succor from the nearest accessible point
and probably hours more to get the track
cleared by mere force cflabor. He suryey-
ed the difficulty, made rough calculation
OF the cost of total destruction of the
freight, and promptly made up his mind to
burn the road clear. BY the time the relief
train came the flames had done there work
and nothing remained but to patch up a
few injuries done to the track so as to en-.
able him to pursue his way.
