Speaking Of engineers, reminds us that
msny horrible accidents arc caused b,
criminal earelessness ON their part, many
hearts made sad and souls sent into eternity
without warning. Oar slate laws are moi
adequate along this line. Surely the dan.
gerous man should be held responsible by
the railroad company, and the company by
the people for criminal negligence. We
have men on this Division who are jas. as
careless and reckless as you will find them
anywhere. Some of them are unhappy un.
less they are blookading the crossings en-
iirely, or half way over them, exhausline
steam and making things as unpleasant as
possible. Then there are others who like
10 show Of and run at full speed through
town, just to make the natives fearful Of the
lives Of loved ones Here at Tunnelion
the through freight men love 20 pull out
under full head Of steam, just as The rear
end Of the passenger train clears the cross
ing aud the passengers start across the
track. In this way several lives have been
saved, only by the GOODNESS and reckless
bravery Of bysiauders But engineers are
not ell careless. John carues. for example,
Is very careful and prudent When he
helps No. ;, S. or any Of the fast passeo.
gers, he comes into town running gracefully,
under full control, ringing the engine bell
and taking all necessary precautions. Tie
clears the passengers With graceful ease and
Is a frstclass raiirosder and a courteous
gentleman.
