The name Of Lawrence r. Weir be-
longs with that OF John Maynard and
Giles, the engineer. On Christmas
day trolley car carrying thirty pas
sengers was running from Bethlehem
10 Allentown, Pa At the base of a hill
where the electric road crosses the
tracks OF the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, Weir, the motorman, stop
ped his car. The conductor ran ahead,
looked up and down the track, and
shouted. "AH rightT The motorman
started the car. At the same moment
Q train which had been hidden by a
curve, shot into view. Weir saw his
danger in time to jump, but he thought
OF the passengers and kept his post
He stopped the car with its front plat
form on the railroad track, and the
train six feet away. Not a passenger
was killed, but Wehr's mangIed body
was found on the pilot of the engine.
The country which is honored by such
. deed ought to be proud to support the
widow and eight children OF this man
who was faithful unto death" But
they were left penniless and are now in
sad circumstances. The souIless cor
poration win give nothing. No MIL
honaires' checks have came to bright
En- the saddened home. Perhaps the
people with little mites win take the
matter In hand
