WV. M. R. R. HAS A FEW HEROES.
Wake Occupants and Rescue Family

Wake occupants and Rescue Family.
His watch pointed to little past I
O'Clock Friday morning when EdM ard
Powell, lingering the throttle Of the
engine that was dragging the Western
Maryland Railroads regular night
freight train from Gettysburg.
Powell happened TO take his stead
fast stare off the right of way ahead.
$. l.. Hayes, fireman, looked too, and
the next second the brakeshoes were
grinding hard on the wheels of the
train and the heavy cars were stop
ped.
The train was stopped few yards
from the railroad station at Arcadia.
Just opposite the train was a blazing
dwelling. Except for the cracking
flames, which had burnt a hole
through the roof and were licking
along the sides of the house, Arcadia
was wrapped in deep slumber.
Powell seeing that the people in the
house were asleep, and forgetting all
about schedules and the big comfort
able bed that was awaiting him in
Baltimore as soon as he arrived with
his train, yelled out his message. With
Hayes he started toward the burning
house. Behind him came conductor
Milton Weber, Flagman q. r. Sanders
and Brakemen w. Heitzel, A. r. Dixon
and H. J. Palmer.
Pounding vigorously on the front
door they soon awakened Cecil Snyder
who, with his wife and five children,
had been sleeping in ignorance of the
fire. Pushing by Snyder, who was
soon awake when he was told his
house was afire, the railroad men,
leaving their train, rushed into the
sleeping rooms of the family.
Heavy wraithS of smoke were all
through the house, and when Powell
and the men behind him reached the
rooms the children were sleeping SO
heavily that it looked as If they had
been overcome by smoke. Powell,
Hayes and Weber were not clad in
the helmets of fremen, nor did they
wear the blue police uniform, but in
their greasy caps and Overalls they
rescued the family and then turned to
fight the fire.
Mr.. Snyder's house was beyond
help, though, and the firefighters warn
ed Mr.. Frank E. Hoffman, whose house.
next door was beginning to catch fire
from the blazing embers. Mr.. Hoff-
man escaped with his family and sue
ceeded in saving some Of his house
hold furniture.
The volunteer fire companies at
Hampstead and Boring, about three
miles away, were telephoned for, but
when they arrived both dwellings were
burned to the ground.
The fire, which started in MIR.
Snyder's house, was due to a defective
fue. The damage In that house
amounted to about $4,000, with $500
insurance, while the damage to MIR.
Hoffman's house was about $1,000.
Engineer Powell lived at Union
Bridge for number of years with his
family
