INVESTIGATING AN ACCIDENT.
The Railroad Engineer Gets Out of Troubls
For Running Too Tast.

The Railroad Engineer Gets Out of Trouble
For Running Too Fast.
Superintendent Warren of the East
ern Illinois railway was telling the 9TH
or evening of certain engineer in the
employ of the road who had been re-
peatedly cautioned against running too
fast. He was running freight train,
and on one portion of his division there
was steep hill. His orders were to
never permit his train to go down that
hill faster than 10 miles an hour, but it
was general belief thatwhenever he had
q safe opportunity he sailed down that
grade just as fast as the wheels would
turn. One day he did so down the hill
SO fast that the entire train left the
track at the bottom, and there were box
cars piled up high. An Investigation
Immediately followed, and the engi-
necr, in railroad parlance, was put ON
the carpet. " He swore in the most
solemn terms that he went down the
hill not faster than 10 miles an hour,
but that just before reaching the bot
tom he lost control Of the airbrake, and
the speed became so great the train
could not keep tho track; hence the
wreck, for which he was not RESPONSE

But" said his superintendent, I'VE
have q man here, Il farmer, who was on
the hillside that day when you came
down. Ize stood at the edge of clear
ing, saw you at the top and all the way
down, and he will swear that he never
saw q train going SO fast in al his life,
and he is man 60 years old. Ho says
that it was next to an impossibility to
see the wheels. What do you say to
that?''
The engineer never hesitated

after the wreck, and he told the same
story to me, only there was little more
to it. -
"What was that?''
"Why, he told me that it was the

his life, and l don't think ne would be
