QUEER SUPERSTITIONS.
| The Effect which Accidents Have on En-.
gineers and Fireman.
London Tii Bits


OF the superstition of sailors fisherf0Ik and
others we have all heard. but that such dis
tinguishing characteristic should have attached
itself to railway men does not appear TO be
generally known. 1t savors some what of the
anomalous that such pre- eminently practical
class OF men should be the victims OF credulity
regarding the supernatural Such, however,
is the case.
] recently had occasion to interview prom.
inent railway official, and in the course OF the
conversation that ensucd that gentleman incl
dentaly> alluded to two collisions which had
lately occurred in the Deighhorh0od, following
up his remarks with the announcement that
the local men would be in a state OF subdued
excitement aud furry" until third msnap
took place Such is the superstition of the rail-
way man. Upon expressing considerable as
touishment was assured that this kind Of
thing was notorious among railway men in
general, and in this particular instance it was
known that the circumstances of the two pre-.
vious accidents were the chief topics among The
workmen in all departments. who were also
counting on the possibilite of a third disaster.
Curiously enough, touch OF realism WIS
lent to the information just impaired by the
explanation that the second of the two COL
lislons referred To was due to the driver Of one
of the engines, reliable servant noted for his
alertness and precision, with an honorable
record of some 40 years SERVICE who was, it
was believed, so disturbed over the "omens" of
the first occurrence and SO engrossed with what
he felt would be two other catastrophes that he
committed the slight error of judgment which
caused his locomotive to crash into another
coming in an opposite direction. The state
ment is given as the conviction of one who has
spent upward of quarter of century among
railroad men of alt classes, and who has known
the driver alluded to ior "a long period Of years.
So came about second collision. Surely super
gtifiou cOuid 20 n n fu rt her than this
But here is tragic seque--a sequel which,
unfortunately. will in all probability do much
to strengthen the reprehensible beliefs of these
men. Two days after the interview above
mentioned, withinI5 minutes drive from the
scene of the second collision, an express mail
failed TO take the points, portion of the train
with the tender of the engine was violently
thrown across the rails and one poor stoker
killed This is what the railway men will term
their "third mshap." There's the third !"
they say; and now perhaps they will breathe
freely for season.

under him John took to the brush, taking
his colors with him.
After being inside the enemy's lines six
days, John returned, bringing with him the
company colors. Soon after these COM
panies were sent out, as above stated, the
train of wagons was ordered to start ont on

enemy they commenced firing on the train,
which caused a stampede, and the train was
soon headed in another direction.
