A railroad joining Durham to Spring
Hone and thence on to deep water is
being talked of The distance that a
new roam would have to be built is a
short one. Spring Hope is twenty miles
from Raleigh. and the road from Durham
would PASS ten miles north of Raleigh.
The project of building from Raleigh to
the Atlantic Coast Line at Spring Hope
has often been spoken of. and If this
new link should be built across to Dur
ham Raleigh would be cut off from
making this direct eastern connection
with the Coast Line. 1t is learned that
a plan is on foot to have the next Leg

was awakened while in the air by the
sense Of falling and this, combined
with the shock to her nerves when she
alighted in the snow caused her death.

RlsKED LIFE TO STOP TRAIN.
Engineer Holds Runaway Back, Saw
ing Many Lives.

Lockport, N. Y, Dec. 25.-With a
seventy-foot fall and death staring
them in the face, Engineer OLaugh1in
and his fireman of engine No. 1850
stuck to their posts and doubtless
saved many lives.
The engine and caboose. east bound.
were standing IS rods from the end
of the bridge which spans the gulf
in which the Erie canal lies seventy
feet below. O'LaughEn was waiting
for the tower signal ordering him to
start for the bridge. The Buffalo pas.
senger train, west-bound, was at the
middle of the bridge when the signal
came, and OLaughIin started.
Just as the engineer pulled the throt.
tie he heard a whistle for down brakes
in the rear. A Buffalo pickup"
freight with IS cars came laundering
down from behind at 40 miles an
hour. Engineer Robert Burns appli.
ed the brakes, but they failed to re.
spond, and when he reversed the en-.
CINE it slid over the slippery rails
straight for the caboOse ahead. He
and Fireman Crapsey jumped.
The freight engine stuck her nose
under the caboose, threw the tender
of No. 1850 into the ditch. and the
heavy train behind irresistably showed
the wreck ahead toward the bridge on
which was the passenger train with it's
human freight
OLaughlin realized that if the
freight train behind pushed him
into the bridge his crippled engine
and wrecked caboose would be almost
certain to smash the structure and
let the passenger train down into the
canal. He applied his brakes, re.
versed his locomotive and remained
at his post working like hero to stop
the train.
No. 1850 brought the mass of cars
behind to standstill, only two en-.
CINE lengths from the bridge, and with.
out doubt saved the passenger train.

queen in Richard III. "a her maturer years. She is perhaps best known for her impersonations in the Harri- gan plays. They were all her own creations, for the author furnished her but q skeleton of her parts, and she developed those remarkable old women who were the features of the shows. Of late years she has been associated with farce-coInedy. Her art is literal. She is realism itself. She has the rare gift for a woman of losing all self-consciousness in comic acting. Off the stage Mrs. Yeamans is a genuinely amiable old lady who has given welcome encouragement to scores of young players who have since become famous. Her compan- ions say that she is entirely free from the vice of jealousy; and a greater compliment than this no play actor could pay to another.
