FEARFUL PERIL.
The Cab of an Engine Running Thirty
five Miles an Hour Takes Fire.


A New York special to the Chicago Trlb-
't'se says: "When the train on the PennsyI-
vania Railroad from Jersey City Sunday
afternoon, comprising ten passenger
coaches, with fully six hundred people
aboard. running thirty-fiVe miles an hour,
reached the Bergen cut, there suddenly
came through the port door of the smoking.
car, which was next to the engine, puff Of
smoke. This was followed by a dense
volume OF smoke and a tongue Of
fame. The passengers who were
those who stood near the front door
shrsnk back as the smoke and flame In
creased. One man grasped the door and
slammed 1t shut. The next Instant It was
dashed open again, and two men threw
themselves into the cab. O0e of these was
Sieg, the engineer, and the other was the
fireman. Through the binding smoke that
poured directly over the iron tender the pas
sengers could see that the cab OF the engine
was in flames, while the open door of the
engine furnace was q mass of fire. The
smoking-car passengers were filed with
CONSERVATION. Those nearest the rear door
crowded out upon the platform, only to
meet another excited crowd Issuing from the
front door OF the second car, the passengers
OF which had by this time become alarmed
by the commotion and the Illumination
from the blazing cab. The other psssen.
gers raised the windows and looked out.
only to see that the train was dsshing along
at great speed, and that It would be fatal
to jump. The engine was now without con-
troll, and Engineer Sieg, Looking back at hts
engine, at once realized that upon him de-
pended the lives of six hundred passengers.
An effort was made to stop the train by the
cord connecting the air-brake. This would
not dc. The engineer then turned his face
to the engine, and, setting his teeth to-
gether, he sprang through the door and
climbed upon the tender Then he disap-
peared in the flames beyond. Some OF the
passengers began thinking of dropping out
of the car windows into the Hacken-
sack river when the train should
reach the bridge. Suddenly, however. it
came to halt. The passengers nearest the
engine now saw the head and shoulders of a
man appearing above the water tank on the
tender. Several men sprang on the tender
and drew him out. 1t was Engineer sieR.
He was weak and half unconscious The
clothes were completely burned from him,
his face was disfgured. and his hands were
shockingly burned. His body was blistered
so badly that some OF the flesh was stripped
off iu moving him. The fire is said to have
been caused by flames from the open fur
mace door communicating with the wood
work Of the cab. Favored by the rush of
wind, they soon enveloped the cab in fire,
forcing the engineer and his assistant from
their poste.v

claimed as the just reward Of an
achievement unprecedented in the

Daniel Webster's Presence.

A timely paper OH Daniel Webster,
the centennial Of whose birth was
celebrated January Is. has been con.
tributed to the February Century by
W &. Wilkinson, who thus describes
Webster's remarkable presence:
Perhaps no man ever lived that,
quite apart from any adventurous cir.
cumstances affecting him. such a. ac-
cident of birth, or dignity Of station.
apart indeed from actual achievement
of his own. 10y mere and pure force of
inherent character AMI personality, 81
impressed the generation to which he
belonged as did Daniel Webster.
There was something almost super
natural about it. The adjecrives bv
which he was customarily character
lied, i'm the common and
speech of the people. instructive
attributed kind Of divinity TO the
man. He was the "godlike Daniel"
to his countrvmen in general. who
thus called him by a phrase which.
with a certain semiconSciOus humor
in it racy of the national character,
redeemed i'm its own excess of venera-
ton by a corrective dash of associated
familiarity. But no less the educated
men among his fellows were accus-
TONED to employ i'm their own more
scholarly way similar language. To
them. he was "J0ve," a descended
god" "demi-god." 1.-The OIympian."
If he went abroad, some Englishman
said he "looked like a cathedral or
sydney Smith, with irreverent hon.
age 20 his Titan might. said he, "was
a steam engine in breeches."
The imposing effect of Webster's
personal presence was partly due TO
the remarkable physical mold in
which he was cast. He was not
gigantic i'm proportions, was not even
greatly above the medium height;
but somehow the bpholder took from
him an instantaneous and Overwhelm.
ng impression Of immense mass,
weight, momentum-in one word, of
power. He was always one Of the
sights of Boston, where his presence
N the streets made the neighboriny
buildings lo)k smaller. Men from
he country, that did not know who
t was, would stand to gaze at him.
Of course. as soon as you were aware
hat a physical frame SO magnificent
vas the abode of moral and intellec-
.ual nature not unfit to inhabit it, the
Measurable inspiration of wonder and
I'VE that you felt in beholding was
more than doubled. But when. in
addition, you could further assure
TOurself that this man was the great |
awyer, the great statesman, the great |
'rator, of his country and time, why, |
the enthusiasm of admira- |
ion and delight of which you were
conscious in his presence became
omething extraordinary.
