Saves TOTS
At PLAY ON Rails
Applies Emergency Brakes
of Rapidly Moving Train
in Nick of Time
PASSENGERS
LAUD HERO

Only the keen eye and the quick wit
Of a Pennsylvania Railroad engineer
saved the lives yesterday morning OF
two bright-eyed children aged about 2
and years, respectively, when he
brought his train to a sudden stop just
north Of Ridley Park. The five hundred
passengers on board were given the
thrill of their lives after they saw what
caused the sudden application of the
emergency brake, which threw many Of
them from their seats.
The train had left Rehoboth Beach at
G o'clock and was due at Broad Street
Station at ll.34 a. m. Just above Rid
lev Park, when the train was running
at a speed of nearly fifty miles an
hour. Engineer w. H. Hickman saw two
small flaxen- haired children playing by
the stationary underfeed water supply
tanks between the tracks. The children
were entirely obvious of the danger they
were in.
The quick application of the emer-
gency brake threw passengers from their
seats and caused a commotion among
them. They got down from the train
and three-score or more went forward
to see what had caused the step.
Hickman was congratulated and ap.
plauded by a hundred passengers when
they realized how he,saved the. lives OF
the two children. Their home is located
but few feet from the edge of the
railroad track. A wildly excited mother
came rushing out, attracted by the
stopping of the train, and Selling a
child in either hand transported then
back 10 safety.
