A FAMOUS LocoMorivE.
Wreck of the Engine that Gave the Alarm
at Johnstown.


A famous locomotive was wrecked
lstely at 30 Office, just above Altoona.
Il was No. 1,14s the engine that on
the memorable day Of the Johnstown
food went rushing down the Pen
psylvania railroad tracks from
conemaugh 70 Johnstown with its
shrieking whistle giving the alarm Of
the oncoming deluge of water.
After the food No L139 was found,
bottom upward, buried under a great
bank of sand, near where the engineer
had abandoned it to flee for his life
from the food.
Relic hunters cleared away the sand
and proceeded to dismantle it Of every
thing they could secure The bell
and all the brass fixtures were carried
away, and even the big wooden
bumper was hacked into splinters
which now stand first among the
treasures of many an enthusiastic
collector.
After things had quieted down about
the flooded city the railroad company

could rescue from the debris Among
a score or more locomotives they
found the dismantled No l,I49. 1t
was set on its feet and brought to
Altoona After week in the shop it
came out again, showing no signs Of
the ordeal it had passed through.
Since then it has been run as shifter.
About noon one day No. 1,149 was
standing on the tract, near the B. and
o. telegraph station. Just below it
was a heavy coal train, stationary,
with all brakes set Engineer W. D.
Thomas happened to look back over
the track and another coal train,
without an engine. came tearing down
the steep grade. The switch had not
been turned to allow it to draw on the
next track, as was intended. Thomas
jumped before the crash a I'd escaped,
but No. 1I49 was turned bottom mp
and terribly demolished between the
two heavy coal trains.

portions OF time; also. they were the
inventors of the clepsydra or water
clock the division OF time and the in

too remote for precise calculation.
All that we know OF the history OF
the clepsydra is that the apparatus

c. 759.
This water clock the first of the

holding several gallons Of water A..
one side there was a very small hole
through which the water was allowed
TO trickle. something after the fash
ion OF the emptying OF an hourglass.
From experiments made on recently
discovered clepsydra il is calculated
that one would empty itself about
once every two hours. Under the

his death by falling out of his own

This interested me, and visited the

brow of a cliff and the farmer had
fallen 200 feet. In those mountains
there are dozens of such places.
