A Peculiar Railway Accident.

@Talking about peculiar railway accidents
said Mr.. Ward, Of the Allen Paper Car Wheel
company, II want to tell you of an accident
which happened up in Wisconsin some years
ago. 1t was on the ST. Paul road, too. Now,
/ wasn't there and didn't see the wreck, but q
man whom | know to be truthful was, and
he told NEAL about it. A passenger train
was running along one day when the conIaac-
tor, who was sitting next a window, happened
to glance out, and he started up with 6. cry
of amazement.
My God! there's a locomotives In tlie ditch
"Just then he noticed that the speed of his
train was slackened, and gently came to a stop.
The conductor looked ahead and saw TINT
there was no engine on his train. He ran
back and saw that the locomotive in the ditch
was the one that had a few moments before
been pulling his train. 1t had jumped the
track, broken its couplings, and gone into
the ditch without making SO much as a jar,
It had cleared the track SO completely that
the train had passed by it, This is explained
in this way: The moment the engine left the
rails it was under full steam and momentum.
As it broke from the baggage car next to it
it shot ahead with fearful force. At the same
instant the dir brakes were set by the rupture
Of the pipeconpling, and the trains speed be-
gan to slacken. 1t is easy to see how it is all
done, but ] don't believe that such a thing
ever occurred before or will ever occur again.n

Gated tailor. He was OF an old American

but compromised the matter and became q
tailor. He taught school awhile, too. I'm
doubtedlyit was his superior education which
gave him some advantages over his fellow
workmen. 1t was an educational -organiza-
ton that he intended the knights of Labor to
be. But the order has SO developed and en-
larged the original idea that it has become
not only a great industrial power but also a
political one. The six original aKnights'
who with Mr.. Stevens, founded the organiza-
tion, were James 8. Wright, Robert G.. Ma

Robert w. Keen and Joseph S. Kennedy.

Mr.. Mcneil is an official in the knights. of
Labor organization and is besides connected
with the Statistical department nj 4f the Massa-
chusetts labor bureau. 1t is odd how per-
sistently that word slabor'' keeps popping up,
SO that there is no avoiding it. The word
necessitates q repetition in writing that
would not be tolerated a moment in elegant
composition. Just SO, before the subject is
done with, the cause it represents will force
itself upon the notice Of circles that have
deemed themselves quite too elegant to listen
to it.
George E. Mcneil is well qualified to write
q book on the question Of the day. He was
born In Andover. Mass. His father was the
neighbor of and co-worker for freedom to the
slave with John G.. Whittier in the old days
Of rotten egging and dead eating Adolf
tionists.
As q hoy George MCNEIL worked in the
WOODEN factories f.of Andover, Then he
learned the shoemaker's trade. Questions Of
workingmen's rights and duties were familiar
to him from an early age. The great factory
strike of 1851 took place while he worked in
the wooden mill. He afterward became q
high officer In the Sons of Temperance, and
a member of the Eight Hour league. He
was president of the Eight Hour league for
s!sssS-es ssca as iaiStfifIiiiy m
the original founders of the knights of Labor
for the education and enlightenment of work
ingmen, establishing numerous schools and
evening classes for them. 1t would take too
much space to nafne all the labor organiza-
lions which he has founded or been con-
nected with. He is a man of electric energy
and iron strength, both of which have been
spent ceaselessly. He has been mechanic,
-. a. - 50 rs
when a man is h~armoniously developed he
can do almost everything, and do it well.
But one of the best of Mr.. McNeills achieve
ments is the writing of his boob on the his
tory of the labor moyeme-b.

But Mr.. Romeis, who, iii the meantime, had
settled in Toledo, O., was not satisfied with
business success alone. He studied pub
lie affairs, and in 1874 his fitness to
serve the Taople was recognized by his
fellow citizens, who made him an alder
man. BY 1870 he had become mayor,
and he held that Office until 1884, admins
tering the city's affairs with prudence and
discretion. During his third term as mayor
10 was nominated for congress by the Re
publicans against Hon. Frank Hurd, the
eminent free trader. The fight was a spirited
one but Romeis won, as he did this year
when nominated for a second term, despite
his opponents talents, adroitness and po-
litical experience. Romeis' majority this
year was ,4S6.
Mr.. Roneis' career should encourage poor
young men, for it shows that in this broad
land of ours any one who has talents and de-
termination may win a prize in the great
tournament we call human life.
