"The most dramatic incident ever wit
messed !" said Capt. Fl. A. Cobaugh, of Penn
sylvania, occurred in suit brought by the
State Of Pennsylvania against the Pennsyi-
vania Railroad Company some years ago
The action was the result OF an alleged fail
ure on the part of the railway to fulfill GER
tain conditions set forth in its charter. II
was long aud very bitter contest, in which
an unusual degree of acrimony between the
attorneys was manifested.
Brewster, Acknowledgement under Car
field. was the chief counsel for the railroad
company. You remember that his face was
greatly di-6gured by scars. In his ina!
summing up, the States attorney, angered
beyond himself flung bitter taunt at
Brewster, and finally he said, The ways and
methods of this company are as dark and
devious, as hideous and IS schrified as the
face of their attorney
Every body looked for Brewster, who was
a very passionate man, TO kill him upon the
spot. His face became purple, the scars
which had occasioned the taunt grew abso-
lulely lvid But he mastered himself,
arose, and, in perfectly calm voice, said ::
"All my life my fellow.men have been
kind and charitable enough to overlook the
burden bear on my face. This is the first
time any man has ever made mention of
my misfortune within my hearing. | have
never been called upon before to tell how l
got these scars, but am going to do so now.
"'When | was beautiful bOy-for my
mother, God bless her, told me | was a
beautiful boy-I was playing one day in
front of an open FIRE with my little sister,
wien she stumbled and would have fallen
into the flames if had not caught her In
saving her myself fell face downward into
u mass of burning Goals. When they pick
ed me up teuderly and carried me to my
bed my face was as black a. that mans
heart"
