eNE OF LABoR's HEROES.
How Timothy QunIan Gave Up His
Life For Others.

How Timothy QuinIan Gave Up His
Life For others.
While discussing a proposed law VI
Congress to provide for the recogn..
tion of acts Of heroisr, Edward A.
Moseley, secretary of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. paid a high
tribute to the bravery Of employees In
the railway train service. Among rail.
way employees examples Of heroism
of the highest type are of almost daily
occurrence. A few lines in the news
paper and then they are forgotten.
The following extract from Mr..
Moseley's address illustrates the
point:
"Who remembers the heroic deed Of
the humble switchman, Timothy Quin.
Ian, who gave up his life on Feb. ~,
1904, in saving the Lake Shore Limit
ed and its cargo of human freight
from destruction? The train was
bearing down upon an open switch at
lightning speed; an awful catastrophe
seemed inevitable; Qulnlan saw the
danger, and while there was not one
chance in thousand that he would be
able to avert the impending catastro-
phe without sacrificing his own life.
he hesitated not an instant. Ha
reached the open switch and threw 1t
fairly under the pilot of the onrushing
engine.
"The train, with its precious human
cargo, rushed on in safety, but what
of brave Timothy Quinlan? The
momentum of the train was so great
that 1t picked UP his body and fairly
threw It onto an adjoining track di
rectly in front of moving engine, and
In an instant all that remained OF
brave Timothy Quinlan was a man
gled, bleeding mass Of human flesh
and bones"
