A Real Romance in the Rear Car
t
A Lady on Her Way to Her Own Wed
ding. Same Bound and Unahleto Pro
ceed — How the Weary Days Were
Passed—Bait ed Apples and Bis
cuit as the Bill of Fare.
I don’t mind telling you about an
incident connected with one of those
snow blockades. I didn't think much
of it at the time, but I've since thought
it worth remembering. One day I
found myself at Smethport. the county
seat of McKean county, Penn., wait
ing for a train to Bradford. The only
train I could get was on the Bradford,
Bordell and Ivinzua railroad, and as
business was somewhat pressing, I had
to go. It had been snowing steadily
for some hours when 1 went to the
-tation late in the afternoon, and I had
fears that the train might not get
through to Bradford before morning,
for Hie road runs through a mountain
forest all the wa}\ and there are some
pretty steep grades, a few miles out.
Well, as I couldn't do any better, I
determined to run the risk. There
were only a few passengers, all of them
oil men but one, and that one a young
iady. She sat alone in*lhe ladies' car,
for the men wanted to smoke and so
%
kept themselves in the smoker. There
were only two passenger cars, a
baggage car and an engine in the
whole train, for you sec a narrow-gauge
engine can’t drag very many ca~s up
the side of a mountain. Well, down
in the valley, where the road was level'
we made good headway, but as soon as
%
•ve got into the woods and struck the
first grade we crept along like a snail.
It began to snow harder than ever, and
such snow I never saw before. It came
down in flakes as large as an egg and
a-soft as feathers—just the kind of
snow to stick and block things. I
was beginning to wish I hadn't started
when I felt the train come to a stand
still. The railroad men began to
swear and the engineer tried to go
ahead. The train jerked, and jostled,
md dragged itself a hundred yards
up the grade, and came to a stand still.
L'he train men and the oilmen held a
council and decided to run back to
Smethport, but that was easier talked
about than accomplished. The rear
ear hadn't been backed 300 feet before
it run off the track, and there we were.
We couldn't go ahead and we couldn’t
telegraph for help because we hadn’t
m instrument, and even if we had, the
wires were already broken with the
weight of snow and falling limbs of
trees.
By the time we came to a stand-still
for good it was pitch dark an<\, still
snowing as though all Greenland had
moved down on n. There was nothing
to do but to sit down and wait for
morning. We pulled up the seats and
made beds of them and were about to
make ourselves comfortable for the
night when “Judge"’ Cowan, a driller,
jumped up with a half yell. “ Well,”
said lie, “ we're selfish wretches—go
ing to bed here and never once think
ing of the woman alone in the other
car.” With that he bolts through the
door and goes into the other ear. The
young lady was in there in the d-irk,
the trainmen even having forgotten
to light the lamps. The minute the
judge or.me through the door she calls
out, “ How long before the train will
get to Bradford, conductor?” “ Mad
ame,” says he, “I’m not the conduc
tor, and I came in to say that we’re
stuck fast in the snow, and will have
to stay here all night and perhaps lon
ger,” With that she gives a little
gasp of disappointment, and probably
had a little cry all to herself while the
judge was lighting the lamps. Yon
see, she had come ail the way from
some eastern city—Philadelphia, I
think—to meet her lover, and by the
delay of a snow blockade she might
miss her wedding day. When the
truth was known the boys were sorrj’
enough and would have done anything
in their power to help her out of the
difficulty, but what could a handful of
men do against a mountain of snow ?
After her first disappointment the
young lady was brave enough and was
not at all afraid of staving in the car
ail night, provided there was a fire,
so that she could keep warm. The
judge said he guessed he could fix
things up comfortable, and went to
•vork making a bed out of the. seal
cushions and three or four overcoats
borrowed from the men. By the time
be got things in shape be had learned
that her lover was an old friend of his.
From that minute the judge took her
under his own special protection and
relieved the conductor of the respon
sibility of her safe arrival in Bradford.
lie made the re.st of the men go to bed
and sleep, while lie sat up all night
tending the fires and keeping watch
over his new found charge. The night
wasn’t very cold, but the wav it did
snow was a wonder. Before morning
the cars were half covered under, and
by daylight one side of the train was
out of sight. You see we were in a
fix with no hopes of getting out.
Along toward 0 o’clock in the morn
ing the young la ly woke up and asked
how soon the train would get through,
and the judge, who had made a careful
survey of the surronding every half
hour since the night.before, answered
in a good natured way that the train
might be delayed a week for all he
could sec at that time. Would you
believe me ? If that woman didn't
burst out crying! But she was as
brave as a man the next minute and
■she even smiled when the judge pro
posed to go and hunt for something
in the way of breakfast. It wasn't
much of a breakfast, Uit it was the
best the train could alford. A box of
biscuits was found in the baggage car,
along with a barrel of apples. Every
box and barrel in the car was broken
open, but not another eatable tiling
could be found. We had an elaborate
bill of fare that da}’ —apples and bis
cuit for breakfast, biscuit and apples
for dinner, while for supper we had
baked apples and toasted biscuit. It
snowed all day and nobody left the
cars. At night the judge appointed a
relay of men to keep the fires going
and to guage the weather every half
hour, he himself taking the first watch.
During the night it stopped snowing,
and truly, and it was high time,
for it seemed as though the whole
stock of snow had been exhausted.
In the morning we had a sumptuous
breakfast of apples and biscuit. The
more impatient of the men, seeing
that the snow had ceased falling, made
an endeavor to beat a path up the
track, but they might as well have
stayed in the cars. In the afternoon
the}’ tried again, and. the snow being
somewhat settled, they succeeded in
getting some little distance from the
train.
You,being a city man, would natrual
ly ask why we didn't get out and walk
back to Smcthport, but when I tell
you that the suow was neck high to
a tall man and as soft as feathers you
will not wonder that we were helpless.
We could do nothing but go back to
our fires and baked apples for the third
night. The men sat up half the night
in their ear discussing a way of escape.
Stranger, I am proud to say that not
a single man thought of himself; it
was all for the young lady. We could
see that she took tho imprisonment
and the delay very much to heart, al
though she never uttered a word of
complaint. It was mighty hard to
think of her shut up there in a snow
bank when she should be attending her
own wedding, and the hoys felt nearly
as bad about it as she did.
In the morning the judge made the
important discovery that the provi
sions had given out. Being healthy
men, we had made short work of the
apples and the biscuits. There was
just enough for breakfast and dinner
for tlie young lady. Tee men were
terribly hungry when this became
known. It is amusing to think of the
melancholy manner in which they
wandered around the baggage car,
prying into every corner, ransacking
the boxes and overhauling the barrels.
It wasn't at all funny then, but was a
tiling of remarkable seriousness. By
dinner fane the men declared them
selves halfstarved, but there was noth
ing to eat. The day was spent in
looking out at the blankness of the
snow and in trying to beat a path
away from the train. Night came,
and the men went hungry to bed.
There were the discordant grum
blings among them until the ju !ge
came in and said that the young lady
had eaten the last half biscuit for sup
per, and then they forgot their own
hunger in genuine pity for her. Even
a hungry man will sleep, and the little
party never awoke until the cold, gray,
dawn was creeping in through the car
; windows. The judge was nowhere to
be found. Search was made, but no
trace f him could be seen. There
were no tracks leading away from the
I train, for the simple usason that the
drifting allow d uri ig the night had
covered everything from sigiit. But
the judge had gone—that was certain.
One of the railroad men Ventured to
say that the judge had given the crowd
the slip and had started back to Sroetii
j port. The fellow never repeated his
little assertion, for he was dumped in
to the snow headfirst by the oil men
so quick that he didn’t know what had
happened.
I don’t know how the young lady
felt that forenoon, but I know she
must have been terribly hungry. The
men were beginning to get weak from
lack of food, and almost certain starva
tion stared the party in the face.
Hunger isn't a pleasant thing. I never
want to feel it as I felt it at that time.
Flic snow, as bright and beautiful as
it was, became hateful to look upon.
There was no breakfast on that third
day and no dinner, and when the
shadows of the fourth night began to
fall there was no supper. The coal
was almost gone. Another day would
leave us without fire. There had been
no sign of the judge all da}’, and al
though the men felt that he had gone
for help, yet they began to fear that
lie had never reached Smethport.
Every one was downhearted and ready
to rush off into the snow in the hope
of forcing a way out of the horrible
place. The young ladv never once
flinched, and although her face bore
plainly tho traces of hunger, yet she
spoke not a word of complaint. The
men were in their most despondent
mood, when all at once the judge
tumbled through the door with some
thing in his hand. It was a rabbit.
llow he caught it no one knew, for he
was half fainting from hunger and
benumbed by the cold. The boys
soon had him warmed, when he told
his story. lie had struggled through
the snow all day and had by rare good
fortune caught the rabbit. The men
soon had the animal skinned and nicely
roasted and the judge himself carried
it to the young lady. She would take
only her share, however, and insisted
that the meat, scarce as it was, should
be fairly divided among the party.
In the afternoon of the next day a
gang of railroad workmen, armed with
shovels, and reinforced by four
locomotives, a snow plow, and a
passenger car, worked a path down
the grade and came upon our engine
and train. There was no sign of life
about the cars, and the rescuing party
that had started out from Bradford
early in the morning of the second
day of the storm, working toward us
night and day, thought that the relief
hud come too late. But the snow
bound prisoners were alive, and the
very first man to rush into the rear
car of our train was the young lady’s
lover. It would be useless for me to
attempt a description of the meeting,
for the young lady just threw her arms
about his neck and cried for very joy.
When lie led her out of her prison and
carried her in his arms to the passenger
car of the relief train, tho men of both
parties set up such a cheer that made
the mountains echo and re-echo again,
and the frightful wav in which those
four locomotives joined in the chorus
with their steam whistles would have
awakened the dead. —Letter to Phila
delphia Times.
Where the Train Was
There was about a dosen of us wait
ing at the Station near Strasburg, Va.,
for the noon train. Everyone had cut
his dinner short to catch the train, but
the hour arrived—five—ton—twenty
minutes passed, and then everybody
wondered what had happened. The
ticket agent was also the telegraph
operator. lie was a young fellow of
about twenty, ill grained and super
cilious, but the impatience -overcame
the fear of him, and a woman stepped
to the window and asked :
“ Is the train late ?”
“Urn !” he growled in reply.
“ llow late is it ?”
“Urn!”
That finished her and she resumed
her seat. Five minutes slipped away,
and a very solemn-looking man, car
ryinga very solemn-looking carpetbag,
advanced from hi3 corner and began :
“Train is late, isn't it ?”
“ Yes.”
“ llow late is it ?
“Urn !”
“ What’s the cause of it ?”
No answer.
lie hung around for a minute longer
and then solemnly marched back to
his seat, and gave someone else a
chance to get bluffed. After the fifth
one had been turned away, a short,
solid, grizzly-headed man who had
been whittling a shingle on the plat
form and softly humming ‘ We won’t
go home till morning,” entered the
waiting room, looked up at the clock,
and then sauntered to the ticket win
dow and queried:
“ Whar’s that train ?”
The young mail was looking’ over
some freight bills, and he did not raise
his head.
S TERMS, $1.50 PER ANNUM.
) „ SI.OO for Six Months.
“ Whf r's—that train !”repeated the
whittler in a louder voice.
The agent looked up for a second 1
but let his eyes fall without answer.
“ Whar’s—that—train ?” shouted
the passenger as he brought his fist
down on the she'f.
No answer. After waiting ten sec
onds he walked out doors, turned to
the right and sudden!}’ entered the tick
ed office through the freight-house.
Walking straight up to the agent he
reached over the table and seized him,
pulled him across like a streak of light
ning. and as he gave him a shake and
jammed him into a corner ho called
out:
“ Whar in thunder and blazes is
that ar’ train?”
“ It's a coming !” gasped the agent*.
“ When—whar—which ?”
“In about t—twenty minutes !”
“ What made ’cr late ?‘ !
“The engine broke down'at Win*-
Chester.”
“ Then why in Crockett's name
didn't you say so in the’ first place?"
Young man, take a square look at me !
I ain't purity nor genteel nor saintly,
but I am plumb up and down and mean
bizness ! When a man asks rac' hovr
hogs ar’ selling I'm going to give him'
a civil answer if it cracks’ thrtee ribs,-
and when I ask you why that dog
goned old bullgino hasn’t snorted in‘
you’ve got to hear me or down cohoes
your trestcl works! Do you catch 1
on ?”
“ Y-yes—certainly—traih’s behind*
time—bo here soon—of c-ourse—yes
—of course !”
Then the solemn man rose up, took
his hat in his hand and passed it round
for money, and we felt like'raising a
million dollars for that solid man as
a token of our love and reverence.* —'

Home Education.
The following rules arc worthy of
being printed in letters of gold, and
placed in a conspicuous place in every
household :
1. From our children’s earliest
fancy inculcate the necessity of in*'
stant obedience.
2. Unite firmness with gentleness;
Let your children always understand 1
that you mean what yon say.
4. If you tell a child to do some
thing, show him how to do it and seo'
that it is done.
5. Always punish yonr child' for
willfully disobeying you; but neveF
punish him in anger.
6. Never let them know that they'
vex you, or make you-lose youf self
command.
7. If they give way to petulance or
ill temper wait till they are calm, then'
gently reason with them on the - im
propriety of their conduct.
8. Remember that a little present'
punishment, when the occasion arises,-
is much more effectual than the threat
ening of a greater punishment should'
the fault be renewed.
9. Never give your children any* -
thing because they cry for it.
10. On no account allow them to do’
at one time what you have forbidden
under the same circumstances at 1
another.
11. Teach them that the only sure’
and easy way to appear good is to bo'
good.
12. Accustom them to make tkeiF
little recitals with perfect truth.
13. Never allow tale bearing.
14. Teach them self-denial, not self-'
indulgence.
Athens Chronicle says : “On Tues
day afternoon, the 14lh inst., Fred.*
McCommons, son of J. 11. McCom
mons and grand son of Capt. Greer,-
in company with his uncle, was return-'
ing home from the field. He was riding
a mule, having been ploughing all day.-
They had taken out earlier than usual,-
in order to attend a Valentine party
at night. They had arrived near the'
house, and passed through the draw-’
bars. Fred, after having put up the
bars, attempted to get upon the mule"
bv using the trace chain as a stirrup.-
Ilis foot slipped, and he fell with' his'
foot between the chain and the mule.‘-
Ilis uncle was very near and attempt
ed to catch the mule, but failed. The
mule jumped, which threw Fred tinder
him. This frightened the mule, and'
he began to kick and run. Fred, be
ing held by the gear, was dragged
about a quarter of a mile. There
were some dogs along, and when the
mule started, they pursued, which
frightened the mule the more. When
he was found, he was stifl faStetted to*
the mule—his neck broken, both thighs'
out of place, his right leg broken ab'dve
the ankle, his forehead mashed in by
| a kick from the mule, and his body
very much mangled, as the ground*
over which the male ran was very*'
rough and rocky.”
