HONOR TO The HEROES.

1t is fitting that we should drop tear
for the dead and thank our good fortune
that this is once more united, pros
porous, free people living under the
most glorious government the world has
ever known.
In this experiment Of government of
the people, by the people, and for the
people. the United States Of America has
accomplished marvellous success.
The ship of state proudly plows the sea
Of political dangers after encountering
aome fierce storms, as the most scientific
and beautiful conception of government
ever dreamed Of by an Utopian.
For those who lost their lives honor
ably, and .bravely enduring the hard
ships of war, we have the highest esteem,
we ,cheerfully offer them profuse. un-
stinted praise, honor and glory. That is
what they fought for.
To those who lost limbs, were manned
or injured we should give, the only REQ
ompenss they ask besides honor and es.
teem for having done their duty, q
pension.
To the spurious patriot who takes
reward for service he did not render. and
for patriotism that can be measured In
dollars and cents, we have the utmost
contempt.
All honor to the brave, the true and
the good soldier, the sterling patriot
His grave should have evergreens and
flowers: our hearts should not fail in
gratitude to those who did their duty,
who served their country, who sacrificed
their lives

of them. This Is not time for the lag

These defeats, national and local, have
awakened the party to the fact that de-

ERIE, October ia terrible catastrophe
was averted on the Lake Shore and Michl-
gan Southern Railroad to-day, near Silver
Greek, through the bravery and cool-headed
conduct of an engineer. A detached section
of an east-bouud freight train had been run
into by another section, and portion OF the
debris had been thrown over the west-bound
track. Just as No. 8 fast train was going
west, Engineer John Burns, of Buffalo, OF
the passenger train, was coming down the
hill at the rate of 80 miles an hour. he saw
truck ahead OF him and the freight car.
He saw that an attempt to stop his tram
and jump would sacrifice the lives OF his
$50 passengers. His fireman had lett him,
and freight cars mounted one another ahead
In flash of a second Engineer Burns re-
solved to stand by his post, and springlng
from his seat behind the boiler, put on
every pound Of steam and opened ms sand
box so as to get firmer hold of the rail-.
The iron monster gave start and sprang lot
ward. throwing the freight car ana otner
debris Burns with hold the lever, and the
moment he had cleared the obstruction, re-
versed his engine and threw on the alrorake.
As the train entered the wreck the SIDES
were torn off the coaches The screams of
women rose high above the screechlng OF the
steam Although the engine was dismantled,
brave Engineer Burns emerged from the debris
alive, but covered with scars and bruises.
Stout hearted men embraced the brave engl-
neer Historically, realizing that his bravery
had saved the train.
But one passenger was seriously injured and
that was Mrs Mary Kane, of Dennison, o.
She was in the smoker. She was injured IN
ternally and several ribs were broken. she
was placed in the hospital at Erie. Joseph
Myers, of Cleveland, was badly hurt about the
head. Little Susie Heitner. daughter of David
Heitner, of Chicago, had her shoulder d1slo-
Gated, News Agent John Quinn, of Buffalo, an
arm hurt, and number of others were slightly
injured. Strange to say not a car of the tram
