WOMAN AS ENGINEER.
, TTIE MORGANS WORKS AS A
MAN IN MALE ATTIRE.
te Remarkable Story of a Pretty
Bfiglisk Girl Who Learned to Stoke
on the “Flying Scotchman” and Ran
Engines on a Connecticut Road-She
Resigned the Throttle Because She
Killed a Child.
From, the Few York World.
Bbidgkfort, Conn., April 28.—For some
jno there has been a good deal of quiet
ilk among railroad men in this vicinity of
ie singular discovery made by the officers
[ the Naugatuck Railway Company, that
woman disguised in male attire had been
inning an engine on their road for many
lonths. The fact has been kept secret by
railway officials and was at first received
ith incredulity by their subordinates, but
is a fact nevertheless. The heroine is an
iWish girl named Mattie Morgans, who
,me to this country about two years ago
’ter serving her apprenticeship as stoker
itbe Great Northern Railway, between
ondon and Edinburgh.
She concealed her sex so cleverly that she
di lv secured a position as fireman on the
Bugatuck railroad and was eventually pro
ofed to the post of engineer, first on a
eight and afterwards on a passenger loco
otlve, a post which she might have held to
iis dav hut for her voluntary retirement
>out six months ago. The cause of her ro
remeut is told below in her own words, but
>w the discovery of her sex was made is
it definitely known except to the railroad
lieials, who decline to talk about the mat-
Five years ago Mattie Morgans, then a
etty girl of 19, fell in love with Tom Win
m an engineer of the “Flying Scotch
an.” Tom’s run -was from King’s Cross
at inn, London, to York and return alter
ite days. The “Flying Scotchman’s” ser
ve includes a train from Edinburgh and
, e from London, leaving each city at 10 a.
. and passing at York. The total distance
400 miles; the time nine hours. These
Bms carry the royal mail. The govern
ent contract calls for a forfeiture of a
tuud sterling for every minute the train
behind schedule time, which seldom hap-
LED BV LOVE OF ROMANCE.
Several evenings a week Mattie Morgans
Duld wait at King's Cross and listen for
>w Bells and St. Paul to ring out 7 o’clock,
'ith that hour would, come thundering into
e station the “Flying Scotchman,” Tom
'innan and tho royal mail. Weeks and
paths passed and m that interval Tom
finnan after his day's work was done would
rollout to Hyde Park, St. James, Kew
in lens, nr perhaps float up and down the
lames with his fair young friend. She
Duld listen to the thrilling recitals of his
ventures until she learned to love her
tro as Desdemona loved the Moor. She
lamed to fly through the air with him and
arc the dangers, excitements and triumphs
a life so foreign from her own. It is not
i uncommon thing in England and Seot
r.d to find man's work performed hy
men. and what more natural than in tins
fee to find woman’s love of adventure, cu-
Dsity and love overcoming all objections,
j short time only was required to bring
mut her plans. With Tom’s earnest as
itance she was duly installed a-s stoker
ider his charge, her rough fustian suit and
t-t pm'iHisely bcMneared with coal-dust and
| completely disguising Tom's sweetheart,
ly after day the “Flying Scotchman” en
pe No. 662, with seven-foot drivers, and
ft from the shops at Dundoon, flew over
p rails at. the rate of 52 seconds to the
lie—honest Tom's hand upon the throttle
id his sweetheart fighting at the fire.box.
ever minded she the steam, the dust, the
nr, neither confusion nor fatigue, for Tom's
leery words and encouraging smile were
jer ready, and his strong arms saving her
p heavy burdens from day to day. It was
|r pride to keep the steani gauge pointing
1 high-pressure mark. She understood the
flies of oiling ami cleaning and was always
ady to “hook out the grate” or “set tiie
lide cups.”
EH SEX BETRAYED WHEN TOM WAS KILLED.
The engine had no cab, but instead the
nventmual English dashboard, an almost
leless thitfg against a storm. It was not
hgbefore her face became weather-beaten,
h- r; together v,ith the coal-dust and grime,
lade the chance of discovering her identity
ssand less. Tom was very careful. He
’afi-ned to see that no meddling engineer
loitld observe that his “stoker” was a

Hand Copperfield,” bits of furniture and
T-hold otcnsils were bought, and the day

tried to stop but it was impossible. As I
got nearer tbe little thing looked up and
clapped its hands apparently in delight at
the Dig engine, and in an instant tbe pon
derous mouster bad passed over it. I almost
fainted but stopped the train. The people
went back. The poor little thing was ground
to atoms. That was my last trip. That
child haunted me day and night. I was
taken ill and when at last I recovered I re
sumed my skirts. You have here in Bridge
port Farrni (the photographer), who so many
years was ‘Lulu’ and electrified audiences in
Europe and America as a beautiful and
shapely young girl. At Niblo’s Garden
‘Liilu’ broke the hearts and won many
favors from rich men. ‘Lnlu’ was hurled
from the catapult. He was shot out of a
cannon. From concealed springs on the
stage at Niblo’s he was tired to dizzy heights
and his graceful figure deceived the poor
deluded men into offers of marriage. ‘Lulu’
made a living by his disguise. Why should
not Ido the same? It is an even exchange.
But I am done with my disguise, for I am
going to be married. My affianced is a sta
tionary engineer and has charge of the 60-
horse power engine in one of the large man
ufactories. Artel- I am married I hope to
be able to make a visit some time to England
and point out to my husband the ‘Flying
Scotchman’ where first I learned to run up
on a locomotive.”
Mattie Morgans is but 24 years old. She
has light-colored banned hair, large dark
eyes and is quite handsome. Her face ap
proaches, perhaps, the masculine and has a
determined expression of character, yet
withal it lights up with pleasant smiles and
betrays in unguarded moments the gentler
feelings of the weaker sex.
CLEVELAND’S START IN LIFE.
Interesting Statement by His Uncle,
Lewis F. Allen, of Buffalo.
From, the Bu ffalo Courier.
Jn the notice in this morning's paper,
taken from the St. Louis Republican, of a
call on the President of the United States by
a committee from the Western cattle breed
ers to visit their live stock fat cattle show at
Chicago in November next, and their allu
sion to his assisting the editor of “The
American Herd Book” in compiling pedi
grees of the shorthorn cattle in several of its
earlier volumes, which w-ere very flattering
to him, it was stated that in compensation
“for his first year’s work his uncle gave him a
pair of boots, an overcoat, and $5O in
money,” and also that “he was young, poor,
and unknown.” As to his being “young,”
he was 18 years old; “poor,” he had not
much surplus money with him, having just
left a clerkship in an office in the city of New
York and gone abroad to seek bis fortune in
Ohio. He stopped on his way at Buffalo for
a friendly visit to my family here when I
proposed that, instead of his going to Cleve
land with a traveling companion, among
strangers to whom he was really “unknown,”
he should stay with me and assist in an im
portant work in which I was for the coming
summer to be engaged, and as he wished to
embark in the study of the law I would as
sist him to find a place with a leading firm
of the city where he could study for the
profession he wished to pursue. He readily
assented, and immediately went to work,
with me with an ability and industry fore
shadowing success in whatever courso of
life he should afterward pursue.
At the close of his summer’s work he
entered the office of Messrs. Henry W. Rog
ers and Dennis Bowen, whert? for several
succeeding years he served, aud graduated a
sound lawyer—all well known to Buffalo
people. During those years he continued
for several weeks in assisting me in compil
ing from successive volumes of the herd
book, for which, as quoted, in the fifth
volume I gave him credit for his valuable
labors. As to the “pair of boots, overcoat,
and $50,” I have no recollection. But Ido
know that by his own acknowledgment he
was fully coin;>ensated for all his labors in
assisting me. He was an agreeable inmate
of my household for two or three years of
his residence in the city, and as is the case
with younger students, received no pay for
his services in a law office until earning
wages sufficient to pay his board and other
exj>enses elsewhere, and until that time he
made his home in my family. Our associa
tions, personally, were of the friendliest
kind, although politically we differed; he
Democratically inclined,'and confirmed in
opinion by Messrs. Rogers and Bowen, and
myself a pronounced opponent.
There has lieen a good deal written and
printed about Grover Cleveland’s “poverty
and obscurity” in early life —all nonsense.
He was well bora, well bred, well educated,
outside of college life, and descended from
strong Puritan ancestry, some of whom
| have made distinguished mark in the poli
tical and moral aimaLs of his country.
L. F. Allen.
Frankie’s Reason.
From the Boston Transcript.
Little Johnnie is a good bov. aud goes to
Sunday school regularly. Little Frankie,
on the other hand, is confidentially reported
. by members of his social circle to'be “oneof
’em.” Oil Sundays little Frankie waylays
little Johnnie and attempts to persuade him
to lake long street rambles and surreptitious
rides on the real- platform of horse-cars.
Johnnies father was within earshot the
other Sunday, when Frankie made his last
attempt.
“Frankie,” said Johnnie, “why don't you
go to Sunday school yourself?’
“’Cause,” rejoined Frankie, “’cause Rob
inson Crusoe’s never in the library, and the
teacher's always buzzing me about religion;
that's why.”
Frankie is one of those Sunday school
scholars whose attendance synchronizes with
the Christmas and the strawberry festival
seasons.
