A THRILLING EPISODE.
ALOcOmOtive Engineers Instinct How
he saved A Train and How he
saved Himself.

Saved Himself.
On one of the darkest and stormIest
nights of the recent unusual winter, the ex.
press on one Of the leading New York rail
roads was moving westward from Albany.
The engines headlight threw strong re-
Fiction in advance, but the storm was so
binding 1t YVES almost impossible to dis
tingush anything even at short distance
Under such circumstances instinct neces-
sarily takes the place of sight. All seemed
to be going well, when, in an instant, the
engineer reversed his engine, applied the
Sir brakes, and came to full stop. Why he
did so be could not tell anymore than any
OF us can account for the dread Of coming
disaster and death, and to the wondering
inquiry of his fireman he simply SAID: III
feel that something's wrong" Selling a
lantern he swung himself down from the
cab and went forward to investigate.
Everything appeared to be right, and he
was about to return to his engine when his
eye caught sight of a peculiar appearance
at the joint of the raj next to him.
Brushing the accumulated snow away, he
| looked moment, and then uttered an ex
camation of horror. The rails on both
sides had been unspiked and would have
turned over the instant the engine touched
them. What inspired this attempt at train.
wrecking is unknown, but it was presumed
the confederates of some prisoners who were
on the train hoped, in the confusion of an
accident, to deliver their friends.
Engineer John Donohoe, of Albany, to
whose wonderful instinct was due the sal
walton of the train, when asked by the
writer why he stopped his engine, said
~ can't tell why. only know | felt
something was wrong"
"Do you have these feelings often when
upon the road9" continued the writer.
mo, very seldom, although for the past
twenty years have been in condition to
feel apprehension at almost anything"
"How is thatl"
"Why, have been victim of one of the
worst cases of dyspepsia ever known. / have
not been confined TO my bed, as like thous
ands of others, | am compelled to work
whether able or not. Indeed, when it frs
began had only loss of appetite, tain
feeling that would not 90 away and bad
taste in the mouth, but finally got those
terrible craving and knswing feelings tina,
make life so unbearable and are known as
general debility"
"What did you do2'
III tried physicians until became dis
couraged. l gave eight different ones fail
tests, but none of them benefited me.
then tried proprietary medicines, but the!
failed, likewise. 1t looked pretty dark TO
me so far as any more peace or eDjoymen
in this world were concerned and | becam
terribly discouraged"
"You certainly do not look that wa.
now"
"0h, no, indeed, am in perfect healt
now" was the reply "and propose to con
tinue so. My nervousness is entirely gone
can sleep nights; the aching numbnes
has disappeared; the pale, sickly appear
ance has given place to the color of health
and have readily put on flesh. This
what has been accomplished by means o
Warmers Tippecanoe. If / can be curc'
after a chronic illness of nearly aQuarter o
a century believe all suffering in simila
manner can be restored by using the sam
great remedy"
| Such is the testimony of man wh'
could detect and remove unseen danger OF
the road but could not remove the danger
from within his own system until brough
face to face with the great preparation
above named which did 80 much for hin
and can do as much for all those who re
quire it.
