Senseless in Train Cab as 1t Runs
Wild.

Railroad Fireman George A. Davis of
No. 80 Lincoln Street, Somervile. is a
hero today. He saved the lives of scores
of persons on Boston & Maine train,
running wild, by leaping to the seat of
the engineer, who had fallen unconscious,
and applying the air brakes Just in time
to prevent the heavy train from plunging
into the waiting room at the North sta
ton.
The train, which was composed of five
passengers, burst through the iron rail
into the passenger promenade before it
could be stopped by he1brave fireman.
The engineer, Edward Owens, with his
hand on the throttle, had been peering
through the mist and rain to catch his
signal as the train swung by Tower 8, a
hundred yards outside the station, when.
with all the force of a slungshot, sway
ing guy rope caught him in the temple
and knocked him senseless.
The nerveless fingers still cmtched tho
open throttle, however, and his uncon.
scious form still leaned far out the win
dow. The fireman, surprised at the speed
with which the train was entering the
station, saw the engineer apparently
peering out, and proceeded to light his
pipe.
A moment later, however, the end post
Of the station flashed by and the train,
with undiminished speed entered track
nine. The fireman, now thoroughly
alarmed, awoke to action. Springing
across the cab he sought to hurl the
nerveless form from the throttle, believ-
ing the engineer had suddenly gone mad.
The thrilling dash of the runaway train
bore marked resemblance to the recent
catastrophe at Montreal, where lives were
lost by an express plunging through the
waiting room.-Boston American.

trains, which, also as trolley cars, are
confined to their own tracks.
But automobiles are used almost en-.
tirely for the pleasure of comparatively a
few people; they are not in any sense a
necessity. Those who want to go quickly
can take the cars, which serve all alike,
and have their own highway. Permit
ting automobiles on the peoples highways
is inexcusable, and therefore any state
ment about accidents by them being un-
avoidable, is wholly false.
But in this case, had the chauffeur
stopped his automobile when he saw the
woman in front of him, instead of toot-
ing his horn, there would have been no
murder. The negligence here was most
inexcusable and would undoubtedly make
thd proprietor of the machine in a legal
sense responsible for this sacrifice of life.

The Pa ma Canal.

DIR. Cornish has written his account of
the Canal Zone, the "most interesting
place in the world" for American not
less than for English readers. 1t was
one of his desires, in the undertaking, to
relieve the misgivings of certain people
as to the final outcome of the gigantic
work which, when completed, will make
the "Pacific coasts of the Americas ac-
cessible from ports on both sides of the
Atlantic without the necessity of voy-
age by the Straits of Magellan;" which
