Ran His Train Through tho One Ahead

Ran His Train Through tho one Ahead.
There are heroes and heroes, and there
are heroines and heroines," said Chauncey M.
Depew in speaking of the matter of personal
bravery. There are blue shirted men who
go over our railroad lines every day in en-
gine cabs who would laugh at you If you in
timated 70 them that they are heroes, and
who in spite of all are as brave as any man
who ever drew a sword or carried q musket.
Railroad men seldom have much time TO
think. They are towards or heroes in a sec
ond. Not long ago one of our engineers of
an express train rounded turn in the road
and saw that another train had been derailed,
and lay right across the track. A collision
was inevitable. The engineer might have
taken chances and jumped, but he didn't.
AS be said afterward:
q 4 saw right away we were in for it, and
like fash it struck me that our only chance
was to go right ahead and cut through if we
could. So threw her open and let her GO
The experiment was perilouS, but it was
successful. He did cut through and } one
was injured. This act of the engineer was
that of an exceedingly courageous, cool head
ed man.
Another engineer on western road per-
formed similar act some time ago with
tragic results He tried to-or in fact was
forced to try to-cut through freight train
that had been thrown across the track. None
Of the passengers was injured, but the engi-
neer and his fireman were killed. This is but
