LUCK SAVED HIS LIFE.
New Railroad superintendent Never
Knew How Close Denth Was.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal.
San Francisco, Aug. 1O.-Among the
most dreadful incidents in the life of a
tSasn dispatcher or trainman employed on
the mountain divisions Of our transconti-
mental railways is a runaway train tear,
ing down the steep grade of the Sierra or
Rockies.
THE first experience Of this kind in
which ! figured as an actor" said an old
train dispatcher today, occurred on the
Montana division of the Northern Pacific
when l was stationed as train dispatcher
al Livingston. the division point. A new
superintendent had arrived in Livingston
l was informed Of his advent through the
medium of a note from the chief train dis
patcher received as came on duty a mid
night, as wen as the fact that the new
old man would start west from Living
ston at Z O'Clock in the following morning
To view his domain He would be accom-
panied. the note went on TO say, by all the
division officials from the master mechanic
and chief train dispatcher 10 the road mas
tiers and bridge superintendent.
West from Livingston the railroad
wound up a spur of the Rockies, and in
this climb of thirteen miles TO the summit
Two big mountain engines. commonly
known as hogs, could only haul eighteen
loaded freight cars. The crest OF the grade
was midway through a tunnel nearly a
mile in length ard with roof OF such un,
certain adhesiveness that brakemen would
not remain on lop of freight cars while
passing through It's smoky recesses for
fear of falling rocks.
AT the east portal of the tunnel was a
telegraph office named Muir, in honor OF
the engineer who planned this burrow
through the mountain top, but no word
could be received from trains at the west
ern end until Underline, two miles be-
You'd the west portal, was reached One
Of the most important rules laid down for
The guidance of train dispatchers on this
division, and one which l always faith
fully observed, forbade two trains on the
grade at one time. There were no tele-

CAPT. CARTER AND THE N. Y. A. c.
Convicted officer Living at the Club

house-SOme Members Don't Like 1t.
From the New York Tribune
Some of the members of the New York
Athletic Club, whose handsome building
is in Central Park, South do not relish
the fact that Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter is
making his home al the club house. Capt
Carter was convicted by courtmartial Of
defiauding the government in connection
with certain contracts for improving Sa-
vannah harbor. He has been living at the
house of New York's best athletic organ
ization for some time.
Among the members of the club poster
day there was a strong disincination to
discuss the affair. Gen. Thomas +. Wat
son. the president Of the club. was not at
his place of business, his clerk aging
that he was off on a yachting trip, and
that he would not return for several days
Barlow S. Weeks and other members of
the house committee were also reported
to be out of the city. One of the veteran
members who requested that his name
should not be used, said: The customs
of most clubs in New York are more or
less indulgent, and l suppose that II will
always be so as long as a man can enjoy
the social life of club like that of ours
for the modest sum of $50 a year. ! have
seen capt carter ABOUT the CLUB mouse,
and know that he has room there but
he has never made himself overconspicu-
Gus. 1 do not know what will be done
about the matter. II looks TO me as IL the
house committee or the board of govern
ors should take action"
Another member, who holds an official
position In the club, said: TT is too bad
that our club Is to have another scandal
1 hought that we had enough Of 1t in
that Moineux case. Now, Molineux was
appointed a governor to fiji an unexpired
term, and he was never elected by vote
Of the members He relieved the mem
bers and officials of taking formal action
by sending IN his resignation. In the case
of Capt. Carter I do not think that the
members should be blamed. l suppose
hat II any member makes a formal pro
test against Capt Carter to the board Of
governors some action will be taken. and
the captain may be requested 20 seek
quarters elsewhere. Whether this Will be
done or not / cannot say The board Of
governors meet on the first and third
Thursday OF each month. There will be
a meeting of the board next THURSDAY
and something Official may be done In the
Carer case"
