A LIFE OF HARDSHIP.
What the Freight Brakeman Undergoes
in Wintry Weather.
New York Times.
On one of the very coldest and storm
iest days of this winter I was in the of
fice of a Pennsylvania railroad official
overlooking a vast yard of endless
switches and sidings, over which shift
ing trains and locomotives were moving
like so many huge shuttles. A rugged
looking young man, wearing a cap, a
rusty blue reefing jacket, a blue flannel
shirt and baggy trousers stuffed in high
rubber boots entered the office, took
off his cap, and, as soon as he could get
his breath, thus addressed the official:
“I want to leave my name for the job
o’ brakin’ on freight train .30. Jimmy
liilev’s out o’ it. He just got cut in two
up in the yard. The train was cornin’
in purty lively, an’ the cars were icy on
top. The engineer whistled for brakes
an’ Jimmy started to run over the top
o’ the train. He slipped an’ fell betwixt
two cars, He hit on the bumper, an
grabbed to save himself, but he couldn’t
ketch nothin’, an’ dropped on to the
rail. Both trucks went over him. Me
an’ another feller was there, an we
started for here as fast as we could get,
to ask for Jimmy’s place. I got here
first, an’ I’d like the job first-rate, if you
could give it to me, sir.”
The railroad official promised to hold
the application for consideration, .and
the man went out, evidently well
pleased.
“There is no calling,” said the official
when the man had gone, “so beset with
danger and hardships as that of a r.ail-
road brakeman, especially on long
freight trains; and yet, if there should
be twenty brakeinen killed on this or
any other road to-day there would be
as many applicants for each man’s
place as soon as the news of his death
became known. The man who was just
here was an eye witness of Riley’s
frightful death, and yet whatever im
pression is made upon him was lost in
appreciation of the fact that the dead
man had left a place to be filled by
some one else. That prompted him to
act at once, and he lost not a second in
securing all the advantage priority of
application might give him.
“Every railroad has hanging about its
yards and stations a small army of these
anxious applicants for chances to step
into dead men’s shoes. These are chief
ly men who have followed railroading
all their lives and who have lost their
jobs for some cause. Railroading is a
good deal like politics. If a man gets
into it once he isn’t worth a snap for
anything else. And so if he gets out of
it he is constantly on the lookout for
the opportunity that he believes must
come to let him in again. There isn’t
one among this class of men I refer to
who does not feel genuine sorrow when
a railroad man is killed and not one of
them would hesitate to risk his own life
to save that of any trainman in danger,
although he might be sure that the
death of that man would give him a
long-hoped-for place on the road; yet
they haunt the tracks and the station
yards day after day, watching the
switching and the coming and going of
trains, knowing that sooner or later
some one of the men on those trains is
bound to be killed or maimed into help
lessness. It seems that there were on
ly two of these men near to witness the
shocking death of Riley to-day, and
when others hear of it and that an ap
plication for Riley’s place was put in an
hour or so ahead of them they will be
moan the hard luck that kept them
from being present when the accident
•occurred and robbed them of an equal
•chance in reaching my ear first. It is by
no means likely that the young man
who ■was just here will be hired, al
though he may. If he isn’t given Ri
ley’s place it will not break his faith
nor that of any of his kind in the im
portance of having early intelligence of
fatal accidents to trainmen and of being
early in my office with the news and an
application, or, if the accident occurs
somewhere else, at the office of one in
authority there.”
I walked through the railroad yard
and to the spot where poor Jimmy Ri
ley was killed. His mangled body had
been taken away. A grimy, one-armed
switchman pointed out to me where
the unfortunate brakeman fell on the
rail and explained how it all happen
cd.
“This has been a hard winter on ’em,’
said the switchman. “Jimmy makes
four this week so far. Three of ’em was
took just like him and t’other un was
flattened ’twixt the bumpers while he
was couplin’. I couldn’t tell you how
many has been caught up along this
line, but I’ve been noticin’ that there's
a good many strange brakeinen on some
o’ the trains that comes in. There’s
five fellows in three gangs alone that I
don’t know. I haven’t had the heart to
ask where the old hands are, for
s’pose I’d be itold that this one had
been knocked off his car by a bridge,
an’ that one had missed a couplin’ and
got the bumpers, an’ that another one
had slipped from the roof, like Jimmy
just now, and so on. It may be, though,
that some of them are only laid up with
a few fingers off or an arm twisted out
of the socket, or a foot run over and
smashed, or some little thing like that.
I hope so, anyhow.
“What makes brakin’ so dangerous ?
A good many things. For instance,
top notch of dangerous from one New
Year’s to another, every day in the
year, year in an’ year out. Just now
the ice an’ snow on the cars is danger
ous. It isn’t an easy thing for a man
to run along the tops of cars going
twenty miles an hour, even when there
is no ice on the boards an’ the wind is
light. But when you take it like it has
been for a week or so, with the car-roofs
like glass and the wind tearing along
faster than the train does, I want you
to know that there’s got to be nerve in
a man for him to climb up to the top of
a car and run over half a dozen or so
every time the engineer calls for brakes.
Then mind von, a brakeman has no
right to ride anywhere but on his car,
no matter if the snow is falling on him
by the ton or rain drenching him or hail
a-pelting him like hot shot. Then he s
apt in the night to run his head against
some bridge that spans the track. But
couplin’ is what carries the most of
them away. I used to be a freight
brakeman myself, and one day I step
ped between two cars to couple them,
having at the time two as good arms as
anybody ever had. When I came to my
senses my right arm was gone. The
bumpers took it off. These link and
pin couplers are what ruins the boys.
Every brakeman knows that just for
having to do that he has to pay six
times as much for insuring his life as the
man who sets in a warm office and
makes out the train way bills does.
Then brake chains is apt to part, too,
when the brakeman is twisting up his
wheel, and away goes the brakeman to
the ground. If lie don’t, get in under
the wheels, lie’s apt to get his head or
his neck or his legs broken by the fall.”
that visit. He played tenpins with his
young hostess, flirted mildly with the
pretty girls in Mrs. Smith’s seminary,
planted a baby horse chestnut at
Mount Vernon, danced on the steamer
deck with the buds of society, and near
ly ate himself ill trying American dish
es. Miss Lane certainly showed skill
in keeping the royal guest amused.
The Queen was so much pleased with
the pretty fuss made over the wander
ing heir that she wrote the longest let
ter ever received by a President of our
country on any subject from the royal
hand, expressing her appreciation and
sending Miss Lane her picture.
In 1806 the President’s niece married
a wealthy banker, Mr. Henry Elliott
Johnston, of Baltimore, and afterwards
became the mother of two handsome
boys. Husband and children have
alike been taken from her, and now', a
white-haired widow, she is re-visiting
the scenes of her early triumphs as the
guest of Mrs. Hornsby. This lady was

RIGHT HERE IN GEORGIA.
The White House of Old.
New York Press.
There is a lady in Washington just
now w'hose presence has created quite
a stir among that more elegant portion
of society composed of the old resi
dents. A circle, by the way, so jealous
ly exclusive that its leader, when asked
why the Cabinet families were not re
ceived, replied with naivete: “Oh, we
must draw the line somewdiere, you
know.” The lady referred to is above
the common height of woman, her fig
ure is good and her bearing exception
ally dignified and elegant. She has
what we call a fine face, stamped with
both intellect and sorrow, though lack
ing in feminine softness. From her
broad forehead snow white hair is roll
ed back in the serene audacity of the
Pompadour, and her black drees drapes
rather than clothes her statuesque
form.
Twenty-five years ago and more this
rather cold and stately matron was
known as the golden-haired,violet-eyed,
beautiful Harriet Lane, the fairest
mistress the White House has ever had.
She who drew about her a society so re
fined, high bred and accomplished that
even Jefferson Davis, who hated her
uncle, James Buchanan, declared Miss
Lane had created an ideal republican
court.
In the early sixties it meant some
thing to be a belle in the capital, for it
is said by old campaigners that never
at one time had so many women re
markable for personal beauty, brains,
wealth and taste in dress assembled in
Washington.
There was the fair diplomat, Mrs.
Slidell, who set the fashions, and upset
her sex at a fancy dress ball by appear
ing in a Russian court costume of such
magnificence that it spoiled the other
toilets. There was the beautiful Lady
Napier, who wore a wreath of water-
lilies, with emerald leaves in her hair,
and as soon as it was copied appeared
another of graceful honeysuckle
made of fiery rubies. Kentucky was
represented in the person of the famous
Sally Ward Hunter, who wore gold
bangles round her slender ankles and
danced into the hearts of men, and by
Miss Crittenden, the perfection of
whose manner was o«ly surpassed by a
coiffure so faultless as to be the envy
and despair of others. A pale face, an
air of melancholy and “Oriental eyes”
distinguished Miss Cass, who was given
to gowns of black tulle decorated with
buuches of gold leaves aud a wreath of
golden grapes worn on her head
There, too, coquetted the lovely Ital
ian wife of General Sickles, dividing
the honors with “la belle Woodbury,”
who never carried less than Fix bouquets
at a ball and wore thirty-two solitaires
round her white neck. Emilie Scliaum-
berg, whom we know* as Mrs. Hughes-
Hallett, wore redjaponicas and learned
how to dance the minuet from Frank
Kemble Butler, while Lady Ousely in
troduced the Balmoral skirt and ex
changed witticisms with Mrs.Greenhow
The diplomatic corps embraced many
brilliant women, most of them beauties,
and entertaining with as liberal and
elegant hospitality as the rich Mrs.
Gwin.
Among this brilliant coterie Miss
Lane held her own well. She was the
only child of President Buchanan’s sis
ter, was educated in the Georgetown
Convent, where Nellie Grant, Mrs.
Fred Grant, Gen. Sherman’s daughters
and the children of many distinguished
men have spent their school days, and
afterward went abroad with her uncle,
where she acquired the accomplish
ments and ease of manner for which
she was noticeable. When the Prince
of Wales came to this country as Lord
Renfrew he was entertained at the
White House, and at the diplomatic
dinners Mias Lane usually sat between
him and the Duke of Newcastle, father
of the little Duke now here.
It is doubtful if H. R. H. ever enjoyed j
spcretarv Miss Lane 1 lies of B. B. B., which I consider the _
* ’ 1 est, purest, and «u.st powerful blood remedy
known to man. I have beeu subject to In
flammatory attacks since ten years ol a fie,
and up to the present time have had four.
The last spell came on me in November, 1885.
over a year ago, at which ime I was confined
to my b'-dforeight weeks, passing tlie nigtits
in misery, with no sleep except when produc
ed by narcotics and various opiates. The
week previous to using B. B. B. up to that
time I had only eate . six meals and could
scarcely sit up without suppon ; but alter us-
ng tbree bottl- s I was able to relish my
utals and to walk up town, andaftersix bot
tles had been used, tnank heaven, I was en
tirely cured, and not the slightest pain felt
since thut time. When I returned 'o business
n Febiuary my weight was 145 pounds, but
gradually increased until my regular weight
was again attained, 210 pounds. The noticea
ble fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is,
that this unparalleled and remarkable dis
covery B. B. B. cured me in mid-winter, at
the very time ray sufferings and misery were
the greatest. I lake it on myself as a practi-
al druggist, to heartily, cheerfully, as well as
conscientiously, recommend this glorious
blood remedy to all sufferers from rheuma
tism or blood troubles, and not ouly myself,
but ihe firm of McKay A Adams, who handle
it* will eheer.iilly indorse its superior merits.

NORCROSS, Ga., Jan. 19th, 1888.—
About five years ago I was taken with
a rising and thumping and at times a
quick beating of the heart, so fast that
1 could not count the beats. I had a
dull, numb feeling between my shoul
ders, and a pain in the small of my
back. I found temporary relief by tak
ing some simple treatment but nothing;
permanent. The spells kept increasing
m number and severity until I was suf
fering all the time. I sent for a doctor,
the best we had, and I told him
thought I had heart disease and re
quested him to examine me and find
out what was wrong. He did so, but
could not locate the disease. He left
me some medicine which I took, but
found no relief, and gradually got
worse. I became so nervous that with
the least excitement my whole system
would quiver like a leaf in the breeze.
I sent for another doctor. He examin
ed me and left several bottles of medi
cine but he did not tell me what was
the matter with me. I was then suf
fering very much, and ever}’ dose of the
doctor’s medicine made me worse,—no
rest dav or night. I got so low that
when I looked out everything had a
dreary, gone look. There came to my
mind a statement which I had some-
-where seen, containing numerous re
commendations of “W arner’s Safe
Cure.” Though opposed to proprietary
medicines, I resolved to try it. I sent
immediately for a few bottles of it,
and as soon as it came I. began to take
it according to directions for a severe
case. In 24 hours after taking the first
dose I felt relief right away. After
taking ten bottles ot “Warners Safe
Cure” I felt as well as usual. “War
ner’s Safe Cure” saved my life.
