A RAILROAD YARN.
Greasing the Track to Disable a Railway
Locomotive.

GreaSfnE the Track TO disable HALLWAY
Locomotive.
Have you ever known of a road
being christened through a specially
exciting incident" inquiries the
Washington Star man. When the
Erie road was first built, which now
runs from Harrisburg to Canandiagua
n. Y, 1t was nicNbamed the 'Davy
Crockett, and for good many years
thereafter the name stuck 1t was
brought about in this way: One dark
night when the conductor was taking
three passenger cars through to Sun
bury he noticed the headlight of
locomotive in his rear He informed
the engineer OF the fact and both
began specializing what it meant.
The train was running a. high rate
of speed. but the headlight in the
rear was gaining steadily on them
AS there were no lights in the rear
| Of the headlight they concluded IL
must be an empty engine. That road
twists in and out among the mount
aims and skirts the banks Of the Sus.
0uehanna in such way as to per-
NIT anyone looking back to observe
what is going on in the rear for d
considerable distance. The conductor
ordered the engineer to put on more
steam, and t6e latter pulled the
throttle wide open. Then followed
wild, weird chase through the night.
Pursurer and pursued tore along at
the highest speed. Everybody on the
cars believed that the engineer of the
pursuing engine was either drunk or
crazy. At last bright idea struck
the engineer. He recalled the fact
that a locomotive can make little
progress on greasy rails. The con-
tents OF two huge cans of lard oil
were poured on the track from the
rear OF the last passenger coach. The
idea was great one and proved
highly successful. Soon the head
light OF the pursuing engine grew
dim in the distance. When it was
safe to do so the train was stopped
and backed up to solve the mystery.
A very funny sight was revealed.
Zone Of the finest engines on the
road, called the Davy Crockett-they
gave locomotives names in those days
instead OF numbers-had broken
away from hostler up at William
sport and started down the tracks on a
voyage Of destruction. The oil poured
on the track had baffled all the de-
strucUive abilities th:t locomotive
possessed. fIhere stood the Davv Crock
etu putting and snortiDg and pawBlng
like wild Texas steer. the driving
wheels buzzing around on the creased
track like tiy-wheel in a machine
shop, but not moving an inch. Not
a sign OF an engineer was found and
the fireman of the pursued traia
mounted the engine and shat her off
They toed her into Sunbury and there
found dispatch ordering them on 10
a SIDE track out Of the way of the
runaway, but the oil had saved them.
A large excursion train was returning
from Niagara Falls that night and
the escape from destruction was really
brought about by the oiled rails. The
Davy Crockett made many trips after
that, but the road went under that
nickname for long time, owing To
the peculiar wag the lives OF many
PEOPLE had been saved

Lincoln Park. 1t rained furiously
the other morning. Lincoln Park
paths were flooded with water, the
trees dripping it until the sun was
hours high, and the turf was sodden
with the falling rain. Nevertheless,
the intelligent workmen at the park
had made hose connections, and the
sprinklers were hard at work adding
water to the already saturated
ground-a cheerful sight for men
who were riding to work with faces
unwashed because their faucets were
dryer than red herring bones.
