LOST The ENGINEER.
Floyd Pollison Knocked from His
Cab by a Time Signal.
Miraculously Escaped Death and
Serious Injuries.
Firemen Didn't Miss Him Until Told
by a Brakeman.

Engineer Floyd Pollison, of the Deck
srtown Express, the fastest train on the
New York, Susquehanna and Western
Railroad and the one that collided with
a trolley-car at Paterson the other day,
was thrown from his cab at S.26 this
morning and for several minutes the
well-filled passenger train dashed down
the grade on the other side of Oak
Ridge without a hand on the engines
throttle or any one to look ahead for
danger.
While rounding a sharp curve west of
Oak Ridge Polllson became convinced
that the brake on the tender of his en-
gine was out of order.
He jumped to the floor of the tank,
and while leaning far out to peer at the
brakes, he was struck by the upright
post of an automatic time signal and
knocked from his engine. Passengers saw
MIN rolling over and over, but none knew
he was the engineer. No cry or warm
ing was heard, even II he gave one, and
in the engine, Fireman Michael Col
Inns, ignorant of the accident. continued
at his duties.
When nearing Oak Ridge, one of the
trains crew on the first car called the
attention of Fireman Collins to the fact
that Pollison was not on his seat in the
cab. The fireman looked around hur-
riedly for Pollison. and then, realizing
that there must have been an accident,
quickly storped the train. He reversed
the engine and, with a lookout on the
rear car the train was run backward
to the automatic time signal, which, 1t
was correctly surmised, might have
knocked Pollison from his cab.
The engineer was found lying be-
side the track, in dazed con-
dition. He was placed In the baggage
car and taken to his home in Butler.
where medical aid was summoned. The
doctors said his injuries were not fatal,
but 1t will be some time before he will
be able to resume work.

At the meeting of the Board OF Lee
trical Control in the Mayors Office to-
day the Commercial Gable Company
asked the Board to build a subway from
pier a North River, along Battery
place and connect with its cable at /
Broadway.
Mayor Gllroy was at first opposed to
the plan because 1t would nccessitate
the tearing up OF the new pavements.
A representative Of the Cable Company
explained the necessity for the new sub
way. and his arguments were so con
vinCing that the Mayor at last consented
to the construction OF the subway,
providing the Commercial Gable Com.
pany would restore the pavtments at
their own expense, the work to be done
by the Department of Public Works. a
resolution authorizing the building OF
the subway was then passed.
A request was received from the Prov
ident Loan Society for permission to be
granted to the Homes Electric Protec-
tive Company to run an overhead wire
from Twentieth to Twenty-second street
on Fourth avenue, thus enabling the
Society to have the Holmes service.
The request was denied on the ground
that there was a subway In which the
wire could be laid. and that the Holmes
Company's plea that it could not AFFORD
to rent space in the subway was not
sufficient.
The North River Electric Light Com
pany was granted permission to erect
poles and TO string overhead wires in the
vicinity Of High Bridge, and from Wits
avenue 70 Brook avenue. on one Hun
dred and rhirty.fifth street.
The application Of the New York

tion Of n subway in First avenue from

was referred to the Board of Engineers
A report from the Fire Department
was read. which stated that three and
half miles of overhead wires and

month, and that four-fifths OF all the
poles south OF Houston street would be
down within the next sixty days.
