A Sad Stsry Of a Man Who Died
From an Effort
OF SAVING The LIVES OF OTHERS.
His. Reason. Becomes Dethroned From the
Excitement Of the Occasion, and He
Ends His Days in an In
sane Asylum.

PITTSBURGH. July 29.-Mr. Wilson Miller,
teller Of the First National bank OF ALE
gheny, has received intelligence OF the
death Of his brother.in-iaw, T. c. Fisherl
who lived at Huntingdon, and had many
friends in this section of the State. Mr..
Fisher was forty.two years OF age and
highly respected. His death is particular
ly regretted because it occurred under IN
usually sad circumstances, and is believed
to have been caused by the excitement at.
tending an act which doubtless saved
many lives. About three months ago Mr..
Fisher, while walking along the Pennsyl-
vania railroad track, near Huntingdon,
discovered that large stone had been
placed between the rails, and that On &C.
count Of its position the first train that
came along would certaiply be wrecked.
The stone was Too Large
to be removed by one man, and Mr.. Fisher
knew that before he could summon assis-
tence q passenger train would attempt to
pass the place. He also knew that unless
the train was stopped it would be derailed
and that many of the passengers would he
killed and injured. To prevent this catas.
trophe, Mr.. Fisher ran as fast as possible
in the direction OF the approaching train,
and succeeded in attracting the attention
Of the engineer and having the train
brought to q standstill Just in. the nick of
time. When the passengers learned OF
then narrow escape, they were pfofuse in
expressions Of g.atitude, but Mr.. Fisher
was not in conditionts appreciate their ac-
acknowledgements.
