IT WAS THE ENGINEER
AN NOT THE COLORED FLAGMAN
WHO WAS AT FAULT
In thn Grow ClrelMutru of Friday—So
Say Partin Who Saw the Entire Affali
The First Account Waa as Fa'tdshed a
Reporter—A Card.
Under the head “Gross Carelessness"
The Timks-Recobokb yesterday printed
the details of a horrible affair which
happened at the McGarrah street cros
sing of the Southwestern road as they
were furnished by a gentleman who said
be was an eye witness to the occurrence
Yesterday it was found that the affair
was more damnable than first reported
from the fact that the fault was with the
engineer of the switch engine instead of
the with the colored flagman, who did
all he could to stop the engine which was
backing on the funeral cortege.
This communication, which explains
itself, was received yesterday:
The Tijies-Recordek:—Tho article
headed “Gross Carelessness" in your
issue of to-day does injustice to an inno
cent party. I don't like to see injustice
done any one, even if it is a one-legged
nogro that has the brunt to bear. Being
right on the ground at the time of the
occurrence, I am enabled to testify to the
fact that the flagman used every means
that hands and lnngs afforded him to
hold the train until the balance of the
procession could cross the track. Now,
as to whether the engineer miscon
strued bis signals or failed to hear his
cries to atop, I am nnable to determine
At all events, the degro did his best.
The engineer had just sidotracked two
coaches on the west side of the crossing
aa we were nearing the track, and bow
he failed to notice the procession moving
up as he was re-crossing after more cars,
I am at a loss to conjecture. He may
not have seen us, but if he did, gross
carelessness and criminal indifference
are sugar-coated terms to apply to such
wanton disregard of common civility, to
say nothing of the lives that were at
stake. I.. 8. Toiveii,
Corner Jackson and Forsyth streets.
Americus, Ga., June 27, 1801.
Another gentleman informed a repor
ter yesterday that even after the occur
rence which was the subject of that arti
cle the engineer went to the negro flag
man and told him, with an oath, that he
had no right to wave the engine down.
It was also stated that the engineer
almost stopped his engine once, only
to start off again at a renewed rate of
speed.
' The matter should be Investigated
and the party at fault made to suffer the
consequences.

■ Her Symptoms Mow Favorable.
The many friends of Mrs. U. B. Har-
rold will learn with regret that two
weeks ago while moving hurriedly with
a number of other passengers from the
rear car (that was to be left) to the more
forward car of a train about starting
from Brown Street Station, Philadelphia,
she received quite a severe sprain of her
spine. Since hor return homo a week
ago and during the extreme heat of the
past week she has been, and is at the
present writing, confined to her bed ab
solutely helpless and suffering intensely,
though yesterday afternoon, there was,

No Wonder He W». Mod.
There are times when words fail ade
quately to express tho forcoof pentnp
feeling. A portly, elderly gentleman
stood at the Brooklyn bridge ticket win
dow, got his ticket, and, glancing to
ward the step, saw the vanishing heels
of several scampering passengers flying
up the broad stairway. Hastily gather
ing np his change he dashed past the
ticket box, dropping his ticket deftly in,
nod, cording np his tendons, began the
ascent of the steps as rapidly as his
portly frame would allow. He wheezed
and puffed and gasped, bnt straggled on.
His ears caught the rush of a train com
ing down along the platform, and he
felt that to catch it his timo was short
He strained hard on np the stairs, the
veins on his forehead standing out like
cords with the effort. Finally with
deep gasp he gained the top jnst as the
cars rollod np to stand still. A broad
smile of satisfaction spread itself slowly
over his glowing features as be stepped
toward the care. It was a hard poll,
bnt he had gotten there. He was no
doubt mentally congratulating himself
upon his success when the voico of
bridge policeman suddenly sang ont on
the night air with, "This train don'
go I”—New York Times.

Slim Jim's Strategy.
During a loll in business the dealers
in tho “Ma'ah market" occasionally get
together and swap yarns to kill time.
Tho other day a German butcher gave
in hia experience of a “beat” as follows:

looked like he vaa yuat about starved
