NOT RoHLFING'S FAULT.
Wilkes-Barre Mountain Disaster an
Unavoidable Accident.

"One of the train deSpatChers on the
Lchigh Valley road said he didn't take
much stock in the newspaper stories
making Engineer Rohlfing the sCape-
goat of the wreck on the Wilkes Barre
mountain" says the Allentown Leader.
There he was. said the dispatcher,
IAN hour or two late and he knew that
making time was an imperative ne
cessity. He had to hurry to get to
Siding No. to get out of the way of
the express coming in the opposite
direction. So much for running fast
He didn't know and never dreamed
that his train would run away. But
wet leaves are as bad as grease, and it
wasn't his fault they were on the
track. He didn't lose control of the
machinery. He had it under excellent
control
The express messengers and all
the members Of the crew assisted him
nohly. With their combined effort
they locked the wheels on the entire
train. Human efforts couldn't have
done more. But the train went on
1t Just slid down the mountain like
a boat going down a shoot the chute.
They knew that an express hauled by
two engines was hurrying up the noun
tain and they knew there would be a
collision. In the face of certain death
they stuck to the train and awaited
the inevitable. They were heroes.
The crew was heroic and the en-
press messengers were more heroic, il
possible. The messengers could have
remained in their cars if they had
been towards. But they heard the en-
Sineer's whistle for help and they also
went to the brakes, knowing it meant
death.
oh, yes, Of course if Rohlfing had
known the train was going to run away
he would have crawled down the noun
tain. But that isn't rairoadng these
days. If he had gone so slowly that
he would have made the trip safely
that particular night, he would have
been late, and he would also, in all
probability, have been twisted for not
making the run on time. 1t wasn't
Rohlfing's fault, according to the stand
| ards of railroading these days. 1t was
an unavoidable accident"

BOY STOLE MONEY.

The store of Mrs. Marcus Plegman,
on Drinker street, was entered Thurs
day by George Johnson, Colored boy,
while the proprietress was in another
part of the building. The contents of
the cash drawer was taken by the boy.
Mrs. Plegman had been waiting upon
several customers, and upon their leav-
ing the store room, she went into a
room in the rear for few minutes.
Upon her return she noticed the boy

that something was wrong, she started
to investigate, and found the cash
drawer open. In an instant the truth
flashed through her mind.
