3. & 0. EXPRESS TRAIN
STOPPED JUST IN TIME
Tire of the Engine Wheel
Pounded Loose and Almost
Caused a Wreck

Alarmed at the heavy pounding Of
the wheels and the swaying Of the To-
cOmitve. the engineer of an east-bOund
Royal Blue train on the B. & o. rail-
road, brought his train 10 a standstill
Just before reaching Woodlyn. the first
station above Chester. Pa, shortly af-
ter 3 O'Clock yesterday morning.
He found that the tire on one Of the
big driving wheels had pounded loose
and splitting. part Of It had crashed
into the woodwork underneath the cab.
Had the engineer maintained his US
ual speed for a moment longer a disas-
trous wreck would doubtless have re-
suited.
The conductor OF the express train
notified Agent Fisher. of WoOdlyn sta
ton. to telegraph for another engine,
which was rushed to the scene at the
rate of mile a minute. and speedily
coupled to the Pullman cars.
The disabled engine was then hitched
to a freight locomotive which happen
ed to be in the vicinity and was taken
to the roundhouse i'm West Philadelphia.
During the delay many OF the pas
sengers clambered out OF tho sleepers
and hastily dressing got out on the
tracks and besieged the train crew
with questions. Woodlyn residents were
also aroused by the comInotion and 10y
the time the relief engine arrived a
crowd of several hundred persons had
gathered.

Addicks stalwarts, was interviewed this
afternoon by The Evening Journal re-
porter and asked what he ana his col
leagues thought Of the changed condi-

piled:

Are you sure Of your NUMBER" was
asked
Well there are enough to remain un-

create another Senatorial vacancy.
How about losing your hold on a ma
jority Of the Republicans" was the next
query.
I'VE have held our caucus. the majority
have decided upon a senatorial nominee
and we shall hold no other meeting on
this subject"
Senator Conner's manner showed that
the desertion Of the six men is not lightly
regarded by his colleagues and himself.
Gossip Is now centered on what Monday

when the deadlock will be broken. how
