TAFr,s LIFE TN PERIL.
Towerman Discovers Broken Engine on
Flying Train.

Towerman Discovers Broken Engine or
Flying Train.
Dennison, o., June 22-Secretary Taft
had narrow escape last night from
being involved in a serious wreck or
the Pennsylvania Flyer, which was
carrying him east. Prompt action OF
the towerman in a signal station a
third of mile east of Coshocton and
of the engineer of the flyer averted
what might have been dreadful ac-
cident.
AS the train was speeding along al
the rate of fifty miles an hour, the pis-
ton rod on the left side of the locomo-
tive broke short off. Instantly, almost
the cylinder Of the engine was cracked
by the unmanageable rod.
The train was just approaching a
signal tower east of Coshocton. The
operator saw that something serious
was wrong, and threw down a signal
to stop the train. The engineer ap-
piled the emergency brakes, and the
train of six cars came to a stop on a
sharp curve.
The accident occurred at 80 o'clock
as many of the passengers on the
train were at dinner in the dining car
Few of them realized how narrow their
escape had been from an awful acci-
dent.
Secretary Taft and National Com
mitteeman Kellogg entered the dining
car and sat down to dinner, even after
the accident occurred, without thought
of anything serious in connection with
the stopping and delay of the train.
The secretary made no comment on the
incident when informed of it. The en-
gineer of the locomotive explained that
1t was merely good luck that averted q
bad accident.
"If the piston rod after it broke had
gone under the train," said he, I'VE
would have gone into the ditch, as we
were RUNNING fifty miles an hour, and
the derailment would have been Sc
rious matter Fortunately, the broken
rod landed six or eight inches outside
of the left rail. That saved U.S."

Squirrel Whisky.
(London Globel

Sir Thomas Denver told an anus
ing story at the opening Of DeWa-
house yesterday concerning liquid
which he sampled in the prohibition
state of Maine, U. S. A. When he
asked what it was made OF he was
told that the blender took a gallon OF
wood alcohol, put a wtneglassful OF
glycerine in it to mellow 1t, then
ground down some plug tobacco and
strained it thru a cheese cloth to give
it flavor, and united the whole with
a gallon of water. 1t was called "squir-
rel whisky" because those who drank
