SAVED. BUT NOT MOVED TO THANKS.

As one of the trains on the Metropolitan Elevated
Road left Fifticth-st last evening about hali-past
o'clock fat German about fifty years Of age,
was seen to rush toward the moving cars evidently
intending not to be left behind. The swinging
safety gate between the cars was broken, and did
not close the open space between the platforms as
usual. 1t was plain enough that In the uncertain
light the German had supposed the platform gate
was still open, and that no could get board. lle
went toward ii with a bound, and fell between the
slowly moving cars.
The guard, young man, and not q very strong
fellow either quickly seized the German by the coat
aud held him from falling on the track where he
would certainly have been cut in two a. we'll as
from getting between the platforms, by
which he would just certainly have been un-
pleasantly crushed. In this position the guard held
the German while the train increased It's speed. He
could not reach the bell-rOpe could the German
do more than 10 keep his dangling feet from the
rails and his large stomach from between the platS
forms Finally some une in the CaTsaw the predica-
meut and the tram was stopped. The German was
pulled up out of his perilOus situation and set on
his feet. lie gave grunt Of satisfaction, wiped
the tobacco juice of his chm, pulled down his
waistcoat and remarked:
"Vel Pse got 10 die sOmctimel"
Then he took his seat In the car without further
expression OF gratitude TO the guard who had saved
his lite. The guard wore badge No. IT'S.
