HELD RAIL
IN PLACE.

Philadelphia, June 28.-Tra,k Foreman
Roderick, who Is employed on the P. w.
Il b. Railroad, between Philadelphia and
Wilmington. Ia being hailed ~ hero.
He saved the fast Southern express.
crowded with passengers. from being
wrecked by misplaced rail last Tuesday
Roderick and his man make repairs
along the track. wherever directed BY the
inspectors or track walkers. On the day
that the foreman gave such wonderful
exhibition Of his presence Of mind and
bravery, his gang had been directed to re-
place slightly split rail with new one,
on the southbound track, between Gray's
Ferry and Fifty eight street.
When such changes In the track are to
DO made Roderick waits for orders from
the train dispatcher. This time the order
came from Wilmington to break the track
for the repairs between trains 81 and l30
In accordance with his order tho men
waited until No 30 whistied by, and hen
loosened the rail- The gang had oil the
spikes out on one side Of the. rail when
the whistle Of the engine on No. IS was
heard.
1t was evident that some mistake was
made. No. 6S was on time. Perhaps the
train dispatcher had forgotten all about
the Southern express.
But the gang Of laborers had no time for
speculation Oh this point. The men
knew that the express must be stopped at
all hazards. They ran towards the APP
preaching engine, frantic waving
their arms.
At the instant this demonstration was
made the engineer reversed and put on
brakes. But no power could have stopp-
cd the train in time.
1t was then that Roderick acted. Forc-
ing the rail back in place with bar, he
got a firm hold with he pry and held ie
Il In place. Safely the train rolled over
split loosened rail and stopped 800 feet
further on.
So near did danger seem that both the
engineer and fireman jumped as tho on
glue reached the gang OF laborers.

THE proposed increase in the tax
rate on real estate in this city and
county has caused much agitation
among those owning realty. 1t has
beer hard scratching tor several
years TO pay taxes promptly, as
numerous houses in the city had
been idle, while others had bad
tenants who found it cheaper to
move than to pay rent. 1t Is too
bad that real estate has to bear all
the burden OF taxation, and persons
who own securities are not compell-
ed to contribute one dollar toward
paying the bills to keep up the
municipal government Even the
city is not allowed one dollar OF the
money derived IRON the license fees
paid by the saloon men in Whining
lon. Then the Adams tax law was
declared unconstitutional because
a few rich men had to pay rea-
soma BILE tax, corresponding to their
wealth. 1t is ever the poor who
paw the taxes. The workingman
pays all the bills. If taxes go up,
rent is sure to follow. An unreal
Bonably high rate means that no
new manufactures will locate here.
70 fact, fence has been built
around the city by the tax rate.
1t is much higher than in Phlladel-
phia, and the people OF that city
get more for their money than our
people do for theirs. 1t is time to
call a halt and find some other
means of revenue than by addition
al tax rate year after year. 1t is
almost impossible to raise the rent,
but such will have to be done if
owners OF houses have to pay the
s3H per cent. additions al this year.
The tax rate is already burden
and some remedy should be found
10 relieve the people.
