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 oni.-m .So matters went on for nearly a Tom and she were to have been mar ed.

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.
