CAB HEROES STICK TO
POSTS THOUGH BLINDED

NEW YORK, Mch. 21.-Zealous of
the trust which all faithful railroad
men feel is imposed upon them in
keeping the tracks clear" the engi-
neer and fireman on a New Jersey
Central engine endured excruciating
pain last night while bringing their
train into Jersey City.
They were Engineer William Still
wagon aged 30, and Fireman Edward
Rose. A steam luke of the locomotive
blew out as the train was moving
along the tracks near the Port Liberty
coal dock at Conmunipaw. Both men
were assailed by scalding steam, but
they refused to desert in the face of
peril.
Stopping the train and seeking as
sistance would have meant blocking
the tracks during a time when traffic
was busiest. The men shouted encour-
agement to each other, but Stillwagon
drove forward his engine while Ross
kept up the fires.
Stillwagon was temporarily blinded
by the steam, but attended to his du-
ties by the sense of touch. In spite of
CINE until Jersey City was reached,
where flagman was called at Phillip
street. He brought assistance quickly,
and the two injured men were taken
from the engine.
Stillwagon may lose the sight Of both
eyes, the surgeon at st. Francis hOspi-
tai said. Ross was removed to his
home at No. 273 Arlington avenue.

WHOLE FAMILY WINS SUITS.

NEW YORK, Mch. 21.-The unusual
spectacle of practically an entire fam
ily-husband, wife and infant-secur-
ing damages against the Metropolitan
Street Railway company was pre-
scented in the supreme court yesterday.
On Nov 1, 1904, Francis Mitchell, a
dealer in plumbers supplies; his wife,
Elizabeth H. Mitchell, and little Fran
els Mitchell, a baby in arms. were
travelling on a FOrty-second street
crosstown car. There was a collision
and this is what happened:
Baby Francis fell out Of his mothers
arms to the floor of the car. His moth
err was thrown from her seat and fell
upon her tiny offspring, nearly crush
ing the breath out of it's diminutive
body. The husband and father alone
was uninjured. Three suits were
brought-one for damages in behalf of
the baby, one for damages in behalf
of It's mother and one by the husband
fer damages arising from the loss OF
his wife's services.
The jury awarded the baby 5000 for
his injuries. Mrs. Mitchell receive
$4,000 and Mr.. Mitchell, $1,000, for the
loss of his wife's services.
