night was dark as pitch. and the rair
 beat against the cab windows uneess ihgly. Engineer sehaffer sat in his seat by the cab window, The head light was of little use In the bilndine rain, and the engineer could sec only s few yards in advance Of the engine Tue train sped on through the dark ness. and soon the up grade, about fye miles south Of Tonawahda, was reach cd, The engineer opened the throttle wider. the fireman shoveled coal faster, The hill was passed and the train rum bled on through the storm.
 Suddenly A flash of lightning. fol- lowed by . terrific peal of thunder. iit up the track q half mile ahead. schaf- fer was looking ahead just at that moment and a sight met his gaze that sent the blood from his cheeks, Twen. ty yards ahead four freight cars were standing on the track. Grasping the reverse lever he pulled it back 10 the last notch and shouted 10 the fireman to put on the air brakes. The iireman's blood seemed 10 freeze in his veins. and, seizins the brake lever. he sent the air through the pipes full force, At the same instant schaffer set the emergency brakes. The strong locomotive creaked and sroaned. The engineer and Ire men. with blanched checks. stood look ing into each others faces, while the precipitation tricklcd from their fore heads in large drops. But only for n moment. for the engine tottered and both of them were thrown to the floor of the cab.
 The shock was 80 sudden that the passengers in the coaches were thrown from their seats. the chandeliers swung from the ceiling and two of them fell to the fioor One man was thrown completely over the seat in front of him, landing with his head showed un- der the second seat in front and hls feet propped up against the breast of an elderly gentleman behind in such manner as 10 hold him firmly In his seat One young lady was. by the force of the shock. lifted from her seat. car ried Into the aisle. and deposited in the lap of a man who was lying on his back ir the aisle.
 The baggageman was at the time en- gagged in checking trunk. He did not check 1t just then. however, for when the shock came the trunk eluded his grasp and started with other baggage for the other end of the car. The bag gageman was found few minutes lat CT covered up with satchels in one corn CT of the car. After the excitement had subsided the conductor and engin. eer got off the train to investigate the situation, They found the pilot of the engine showed foot beneath the ca boose of the freight train ahead. As they were but few miles from Lock- port the freight was pushed into the yard limits and sidetracked. the train proceeding on its way to Lockport.
 Old engineers on the Central Hudson pronounce it tlre most wonderful stop they had ever heard of. The flash of lightning was all that saved the lives of oyer two hundred passengers on board the train.

N.- -r-- .Ns ROCKY ROAD TO LEARNING.
The Struggle ofan Old Slave Learning tt
 Write,


 From the Pittsburg Dispatch.l
 Tt is difficult for those who have all ways been surrounded with advantages to obtain an education to appreciate how the untutored mind of one who has not had these opportunities yearns for knowledge" said an old colored man yesterday. "This was well illustrated in the south before the war, when any person caught teaching colored man was subjected to fine of $50 and years Imprisonment, Being shut off from all these advantages it was won derfuI to note the intense yearning which the colored people had to learn. They grasped at every straw hoping to keep their heads above the muddy wa ters of ignorance. Take my family, for instance. I had three brothers, and we had been taught by our master to read little, but one of the mysteries of this life which we craved to solve was writings, We knew the printed characters,sb but knew absolutely noth- ing of writing. We lived at White Sul- phur: Springs. w. Va, and one day when 1t was too rainy to work on some excavationsi which were being made all of the worknien, including my brothers and some Irishmen, were seat ed in a little hut talking. One of the lrishmen asked one of my brothers if he could write, and when he replied he never had anyone to teach him, the old fellow picked up a board about a foot square and with 3 piece of chalk wrote all the charaoters of the alphabet upon it. tell you that. was considered a prize, by my brothers. They managed after a: little trouble to get spelling book with the printed and written characters and . slate from a school boy, for no one would sell anything like that to a. colorAd person then. Ev- cry night when the boys came home they sprawled over the floor. I was engaged in. something else but at last became greatly. interested. I com menced to. study writing. too, and in a short time learned to make a letter.
 T can never tell you the joy that that dawn Of intelligence gave me. It thrilled me through and through. But studying from, the block of wood that the. Irishman had made was something slow, and ]. yearned to get something where writing was employed. It was my business to clear up the rubbish around the hotel, and one day I noticed a written letter, In some of the refuse. [ picked it out and put 1t in my pocket. After that, whenever ! went down by the cresk to dump the rubbish, I would look all through t md pick out the let
