| and the Passenger. Ge, Drenched.
Ono OF the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad fast trains
that do good by bringing Philadelphia within
suburban time OF New York. is known to the
railroad people ms the ~ 30" because 1t leaves
| fhiiadelnhtn at that hour In the morning.
The peoplo who travel on It call II the
o;30." because that is the hour it reaches
New York. 1t runs through without stop,
ana takes water on tho run out OF long
trough between the tracks near Edgley. the
other side OF Trenton. A SCOOP Is lot down
from beneath the tender into the trough. and
MS the engine goes scootinR along at forty
! miles an hour. tho water rushes up tho SCOOP
| and into the tenders tank.
| Yesterday morning tho FIRST coach OF tho
train contained about thirty passengers. Some
OF them were women and all were reading
morning papors. that being the most profitable
manner OF killing time known to travelling
fhiladelphans and othor suburbanites.
Well. no one was thinking about the water
trough or water. until suddenly the front door
OF the coach next to tho engine was suddenly
burst In by n broad stream OF water like that
thrown from water tower at q fire. In Just
one second every man and woman was stand
Ing. and In another they were oil sitting. sit
ting on the backs OF their seats to keep their
feet out OF the stream OF water that rushed
along the car floor with such force as to roll
the aisle CARPET up into n wet wad which
landed against the rear door and damned the
flood there and also prevented tho door from
being opened.
No one had the remotcst idea OF what was
going on. The passengers were all getting
shower bath. and tho car was rapidly being
converted into pond. There were n great
many cries OF alarm. hut for once no one
offered any advice. for huge stream of water
pouring into the front door OF a lightning
train on cloudless day offered no suCees-
ton to even tho most expert advice giver.
1t was very lively while 1t lasted. but It was
all over In twenty or thirty seconds. Then the
water drained out OF the car and the passen-
gers began making investigations. 1t was
learned that the water tender had been filed
before the end OF tho trough was reached. and
while the scoop was still down. The force OF
the water knocked OF tho cover Of tho man
hole in the centre of tho rear end Of the tender.
and so Just opposite the front door OF the first
car The speed Of the engine directed the
stream from the manhole against the front
door Just as the smoke Is driven In the same
way. and the force was so great as to knock In
the door. When the scoop was lifted up the
shower ceased.
Then tho people began hopping themselves
with handkerchiefs. and some said they
thought 1t was funny. They were the ones
who sat in tho rear seats.
Tho engineer did not know that he was the |
only successful rainmaker living until the con-
ductor told him in the Jersey City station.
