before the train could be stopped,
the engine "Upham" and several
cars were off the track and quite
badly damaged. Signal flags were
placed as they ought to have been
and the engineer whistled for brakes,
but the brakemen were not at their
posts and the train was not stopped.
The engineer and fireman jumped
and were not hurt. No blame at
taches to Mr.. Clark.
There is an enemy to health, hap
piness, home, and honorable reputa-
tons that always conquers, as all the
worlds history has proved; and the
strange thing is, that intelligent men
will deliberately walk into the mael-
strom of destruction and disgrace. A
sad thing to ruin health, self respect,
bright prospects and valued lives,
but a sadder thing to bring shame,
corroding sorrow and unavoidable
disgrace to bright homes and loving
hearts.
