RAILROAD WRECKS.
Thomas A. Scott Used to Handle
Them Without Gloves.


Them Without Gloves.
when that wonderful railroad gen.
ius, the late Thomas A. Scott, was
building up the Pennsylvania system,
the work he did was superhuman, the
results he accomplished marvellous"
said an old railroad man. "Scctt was
essentially man of action. Tor eX-
ample, at one time there occurred on
the line a freight wreck that piled up
scores of cars in a confused heap in a
cutting, thus completely barring the
main line.
"The local authorities We're beside
themselves, for they could not figure
out how the wreck could be cleared
away and the line reopened in less than
two weeks. At this juncture Scott ar
rived on the scene and after a survey
of the wreck sent for great quantity
of coal oil, with which he had the pile
thoroughly drenched. 1t was then
touched off, and the god of fire soon
removed all trace of it, and traffic was
resumed on the line in "a hours.
"a bridge fell, and it was feared a
long delay must ensue, but Scott put
more than 1000 men to work on that
one structure and thus eliminated the
question of delay. Those were the
days when such things counted and
were not only possible, but necessary.
Today railroading is reduced to such a
fine point that the need for them no
longer exists. The roads are too safe
guarded for that
1.-THE last instance l remember of
such railroad work as that was at the
Johnstown flood in 1889, think it was.
Frank Thomson, by great work and
the use of side lines, was one Of the
first to arrive upon the scene Once
there, he took full control, the division
superintendent from all over the line
were summoned, and particular task
was given to each one to do instantly.
They one and all responded as best
they could to the spur, and the line
was reopened with incredible swift
ness. There We're one or two failures,
however, and those men, while they
were kept on as superintendent of I'M

Sporting Men Ignore Their Tenses
and Seem Pleased.
"Have you ever noticed the satisfied
manner of gamblers while twisting
their lenses into the win and I lose
common to the fraternityT' remarked
a man who has fondness for investi-
eating the peculiarities of his fellows.
II have thought of that for a long
time-ever since that form of express
sion came into common use among
gamblers. Watch the first sport you
hear TALKING in that style and notice
the pleasure he seems to take in roll
ing his method of expression. The
tense he uses evidently carries him
back, and he enjoys again in the pres
ent the pleasures of the act when he
speaks of it. Even if he says he lose
it gives him qualification, according to
the philosophy Of Charles Fox, who is
authority for the statement that the
greatest pleasure in the world, next to
winning money. is to lose 1T.
'The ungrammatical fashion among
gamblers dates back about 10 years.
1t seems impossible to conceive any
reason for the custom other than the
one l have mentioned. That form Of
speech is still growing in popularity.
The SO called sporting mem have ex-
tended the scope of the present tense to
all their verbs. 1t jars on me some
times, but even then l find consolation
in the knowledge that if the sports
did not affect that particular style Of
speech 50 i'll 100 of them would do even
worse. and their present picturesque
defiance Of grammar is a relief from
the possibilities of such expressions as

your land on mortgage"
Guess you are right" said the dis
couraged looking farmer, "but will you
tell me how the Sam Hill you found
