Red Shirt Saves New Workers.

A dispatch from Pittsfield, Mass, says:
The New York express, which left this
city at o'clock pm. Wednesday with
wealthy New Workers who have sum-
mer residences In Lenox and Stockbrldge
was saved from destruction this evening by
two boys. Raymond Perbizet and Stephen
McHugh, jr, each twelve years old.
Two thunder storms, the worst ever eX-
perienced in the southern Berkshires in
many years, swept over Great harrington
late this afternoon, and a downpour of rain
OF nearly three inches, which may have
been due to a cloudburst, undermined the
tracks of the Berkshire division of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road near Van Deusenville, half mile
north of Great Darlington.
McHugh and Perbizet, who live near the
road saw the railroad bank giving way
and thought of the danger to the express
from Pittsfeld., They got a red sweater,
and, going up the track a short distance,
waved it so that the engine driver, Thomas
w Byars could stop his train. He saw
the danger signal and stopped the train
within 100 yards of the washout. The boys
stood waist deep in the water. The eight
cars of the train bumped one another ana
the passengers were severely jolted, but no
one was injured.
The three hundred passengers on the ex-
press to show their appreciation, collected
$50 and gave 1t to the boys.
