A miner with match short time
ago prevented what might have been
disastrous wreck on the Pennsylvania
railroad bridge near Delano. The
bridge is nearly 100 feet high. AS the
passenger train approached the bridge
on q, very dark night the engineer mo-
ticed faint tlickcring on the track
ahead, and with the airbrakes he
brought the train to a standstill not a
moment too soon. A horse had walked
upon the structure, and was lying with
it's fore legs wedgcd in such position
that its body lay across the trucks. A
miner had luckily crossed the bridge.
and, seeing the horse. made the only
signal in his power by striking a
match. 1t was desperate chance, but
fortunately it did not fail. The horse
was dragged off the track by hitching
the locomotive to him.
