CHASED BY A TRAIN ON FIRE,
an engineer’s STORY OF Ills MOST
WONDERFUL ADVENTURE.
‘Tvc been down the bank inore’n
once, an’ had a few bad smash-ups in
the twenty year I’ve run a locomotive,
but the closest call I ever had wa* the
time I was chased from Mayville to
Brocton Junction by an oil train all
afire. I k’n almost feel my hair turn
white now when 1 think o' that.”
Be was one of the oldest engineers
on the Lake Shore road, and was riding
me on his engine from Brocton to Dun
kirk.
“I was on the Buffalo, Corry and
Erie road then. It was in 18G9 —Au-
gust tho seventeenth. The bit o’track
'twist Mayville and Brocton is about
the orookedest an’ steepest stretch there
is in the country. It’s ten mile from
one place to t’other, but the twists in
the road brakes it fourteen. The
grade 's 'bout eighty foot t’ tho mile.—
The road’s so crooked that it’s a s'an*
in' joke ’mong th’ boys that they dasn’t
put more’n ten cars in a traiQ or the
o"ino ’ll butt the caboose certain.—
Tho road runs down into the Pennsyl
vania oil country, an’ heaps o’ petrole
um is run over it. That night, ’bout
9 o’clock, I was getin’ ready t’ leave
th’ summit with a box car, six oil cars,
an’ two-passenger cars. Th iatter was
full. Th’ box car had two valuable
trollin’ horses in it. I got the signal
from th’ conductor to go ahead, and
started her up. We was under tolera
ble headway when I see flames bust
out’n one o’ tho oil cars. I whistled
down brakes. The passenger car was
cut loo3C, an’ the brakes put on. We
cut the engine and box car from
the burnin’ cars, an’ tbiukin the
brakesman’d stop them, I pulled oj
slowly down the hill. But pretty son
I see I was in a fix. The oil cars
wasn’t stopped, an’ they ca ne a tearin’
down the grade after us,au’ fore I could
give my engine speed 'nough to git
out’n the way, kerboom, they came
'gimt the box car, smashiu one end,
and knockin’ the horses an their keep
ers flat on the floor. It s a mighty
wonder the shock dido t knock the en
gine off th’ track, an’ it did give her
an’ awful husselin’. Bat she settled
down to her work, ’s is she know and wo
was bound to have a race for life.
“Lord, how them flames roared. Ev
ery infernal car was afire now and the
heat was ter’blo. I could hear them
horses fairly scream with terror. Both
th’ keepers dumb up to th’ end of th
car next to the engine. I could see by
the backlight of the lurnaco that their
faces was as white as chalk, an they
hollered to me, ‘For Christ s sake, Jack,
give her more steam 1’ They didn t
know t' I had her pulled wide open,
an’ was tearin’ down that eighty foot
grade it nearly eighty mile an hour.
She went so fast, so help me God, that
she quit bumpin’. We shot 'round
them curves like a streak of lightnin
an’ ev’ry time we’d strike ’t seemed t
we must go over. vVheu the oil cars
struck us, we made a gap of about ten
foot between them and us, and we
couldn’t increase it, to save our souls.
Poor Jimmy Kecnair was my fireman,
lie was crazed for about a minute, when
the turnin’ cars hit us and kep so close
in our wake. He tried to jump off, but
I grabbed him and held him till be
cum to himself, and stuck to the old
gal like a man. Jimmy got killed by
pickin' a young one off the track ahead
of au express train, near Corry, a year
or two aiterw’d. 110 saved the young
one, though.
“It was a dark night, and though I
felt't the chances was we'd never get
to Brocton alive, I couldn’t help but
be struck with th’ scene. Here was us
a thunderin’ along faster’n any engine
ever went in this country afore or since,
through woods an' on th’ edge o’ high
rocks, expectin' every minute to be
burled off the track and mangled out
of all knowin’ to us. The horses was
Stampin’ about in the box car, neighin'
in a way that sounds in my ears yit
when I git thinkin’ of this. The keep
ers told me afterw’ds that they crouch
ed down in a fur corner of the car al
most sweltered with the heat, exjectiu’
a grand crash every second, and in dan
ger of being trampled to death by the
horses. Through the broken end of
the car they could see the blazin’ oil
tanks of the car a roarin’ dnwnaVer
us and t’ seemed t’ th* m, they said as
il they was a gainin’ on us evo 7 see-'
Call)onu ©lines.
ond. Oh, Lord ! what a sight them
oil cars was. Thousands and thousands
of gallons of oil, with all the combust,
iblest parts of it sti’l in it, a burnin’ all
at once, an’ rushing down the mountain
like a tremenjis meteor, on a night’s
dark's pitch ! The blaze was more’n
six'.y foot high, and lit up the crooked
road and the woods and mountains for
mile arouod. The whole heavens was
illuminated, and from Brocton they
said the sight of this great blaze, a
tearin’ along like a demon, now, hid for
a second by a cut or a piece of woods,
and then leapin’ out ag’in and jumpin’
up t’wards the sky like a huge fountain
0’ firo— why they said 'twas yes’ grand
an’ got-guos. The light was so great’t
the boys see us a swoopin’ along ahoad
o’ the mass of flying flames, 'n they
know’d what war np. They knowed
there was a race for life agoin’ on down
the mountain, an’ they koow’d the
chances was agin the ones what was
ohased.
“Of course the whole thing com
menced 'n was over in a good deal less
time than I’ve been a tellin’ of it.—
When I see the lights of Brocton
Junction it struck me all of a sudden
’t the Cincinnati express on the Shore
road must be about due there from tho
West. I looked at my watch. It
ly h.cked ono second of tho express
train’s time at Brocton. We’d been
thinkin’ all along that to savo ourselves
tho switch at tho Junction must be
opened t’ let us run in on tho Shore
track, where the road was level, and we
could git away from the burnin’ cars.
The switch, of course, was closed, and
now even if the switohman opened it
on my signal there was tho danger of
orashin’ into the express. T’ add t’
this fearful situation, I see a freight
train from the east pulling like tho
devil possest to git in inter tho switch
at Brocton, out of the way of the due
express.
“Good God I” says I, “Jimmy, what
’ll we do ?”
This all took placo inside of five sec
onds.
“ ‘Hollar f’r the switch !’ says Jim
my. ’That’s our only chance ! ’
“So I whistled for ’em to open the
switch. Lo;d, what a shriek that en
gine givo 1 Seemed as if 'it knew our
chances was slim, an’ its whistle was
jest’ odo yell of agony.
“ f S’poso they don’t open the switch.
Jimmy ?’ said I. Hot as ’twas I could
feel the cold sweat stand out on iny
’ forehead, and oozo out all over me. 1
know I was as pale as a sheet, for 1
could feel it. Jimmy’d been nra*iiod
jea’ a week afore, an’ I knowed how
much he thought of that little woman
of his’n. I had a wife and seven chil
dren. It was a kinder an ole thing
with me, but there wasn’t no spot to me
like that little home of mine and its
contents.
“ *(f they don’t turn the switch,
Jack,’ says Jimmy—‘good-bye !’
“lie stuck out his hand ’s I knowed
what he mcam,. I ketched hold ’n
his hand and we bid each other good
bye ! ’N all the time we was sweepin’
like ihe wind toward the station, with
the bTazing devil only a few feet behind
me. ’N thank God they did turn the
switch, and we shot in on the Shore
track, tore by the depot, like a rocket,
and on through the town, an’ on up
the road. We knowed then that the
express had beeu warned of our ap
proach. Wo soon outstripped the
burning ears, they losin’ the momenn
lam of the grade. We slowed our
brave ole gal up by degrees, and stop
ped within a hundred yards of the ex
press that lay in the track waitin’ for
the upshot of the race. Jimmy 'n me
got off, but the uext we kuowed we
didn’t know nothing. We fainted dead
away and when we came to, wa* both
of us heme, sa'e and sound, but ter’bly
shook up, now I tell you.
“The two boss keepers was both un
conscious in the box ear. If they’d a
knowed the other dangers wc was in
aside from the burnin’ cars, lose me if
I don’t think they’d a died. The boss
es was bad'y cut up and so unstrung
that I guess they never got oyer’t.—
After all, our escape from collision with
the Shoro express had been more luck
than management. The express was a
minute late. The engineer see the
blaze of the oil ca-s tearing down the
mountains, an’ he knowed what the
matter was at once. But didn’t calcu"
late that we was teariu’ down with any
such speed, and lie thought we could
get to the depot and out ot the way
, ’fore he reached it. He got within a
mile of the station ’n see he couldn’t
make it, aod stopped and backed away
to givo us room. If he’d a been on
time —well, it ain’t at all likely I’d bo
a telling you of this—’n ther’d a been
mere widders and orphins in tho coun
try to-day than there is. By bull
headed luck the engineer of tho up
freight train made his sidin’ in Lino to
get out’n our way.
“The oil cars was left to burn up of
course. They burned three hours, and
the express had to lay off till they got
through. The luckiest part ot the
whole thing was: the brakeupbn at the
summit havin’ sense enough to cat off
the passenger cars and sfcoij ’em. Sup
pose they’d a stayed with, the oil cars !
Thoy’d been on lire in less than a min
ute,and as they tore dowm that hill at
lightning speed, hundreds of human
beings’d ’a been roasted in that quar<-
ter of a mile of fire.
“I’ve beeu a good while a tellin’ you
about the circ’oistance, but how long do
you s’pose it was happenin’ ? Well
from the time we left Mayville Summit
to the time Jimmy ’n me fainit’d beyond
Brocton, was jes’ 'lcven minutes and
twonty seconds ? I br,d the une vro
started, and one of the boys looked at
his watch when we dropped. We had
run over fifteen miles.”
“It seemed strange to me,” I ven
tured to remark “that you didn’t jump
from your engine as you might have
done, at the start.”
“What! leave my engine ! I’d as
soon think of deserting my wife in
trouble as to quit my engine when dif
ficulty ahead of her ! I ain’t no brag,
but if ever they find old Jack’s engine
down the bank or smashed to smither.
cens, they’ll find old Jack, or a piece of
him, not far away from her.”

Mike IVahony's Ride,
Mike Mahony was an Irishman, ev
ery whit; but he was a shrowd Irish
man, and obtained more money and
cold victuals by his wit than by hard
labor. In fact, he was determined to
make this country what he had been
told it was before he came over the
water, a place where a man could live
nisy.
It happened one day that Mike, who
had strayed up into the country, was
anxious to reaih a railroad depot. His
legs were weary, and though he had
partaken of a substantial breakfast
from the well-spread table of a
able farmer, the idea of traveling six*-
teen miles before nightfall, had little
charms for a lazy fellow like him.
Mike had traveled about a half mile
whon he observed a large hand-bill
posted on the sign-nost, though not
much of a scholar he managed, after
spelling the hard words to read s foL
lowo :
Stolen. —A man, calling him t elf
William McClafflin, hired of the sub
scriber a gray horse and Concord built
wagon, for the purpose 0? going to
Keystone and return the same day, but
has not been heard from since. Said
McClafflin was a small man pockmarked
with a rear under his ey.
That’s me, said Mike, barrin’ the
sea*’, and that’s aisy made.
lie jogged along uo the tavern, en,
taring with a downcast look and took a
seat before the fire.
In a few minutes hs heard a whis
pering among the ia mates, and felt, that
the prospect of a ride was not so bad
a3 it might he.
Soon the landlord entered and after
whispering a few moment,tapped Mike
on the shoulder and said,;
Where is y good fel
low ?
iiovso. said Mike looking up.
Yes, the horse you hired.
Sure, au’ the owner has him. You
wouitin’v accuse an honest liishrran of
the like of me stea’ing a horse, would
you ?
You may look like an honest man,
but don’t you see that’s an exact de
sanction of you ?
An what that say, sure ?
That you stole a ho’.sa and wagon.
Is it me you mane ?
Certainly.
Take me out of this, by the blessed
St. Patrick, and Mike was making fast
for the door, when the landlord stepped
befote him.
No you don’t, said he taking Mike
by the collar.
Mike began to shed tears, and tried
to soften the heart of the landlord.
An’ sure you wouldu’t be thj manes
of puttin’ a poor fellow to prison. Let
me go now and IP. never darken the
doors of ycur house again, as sure as
my name’s
Wliat? asked the landlord.
An’ what’s the name ye read on the
paper?
It’s uo matter—l’m sure he s the
chap, said the landlord; don’t you
think so? aidressing himself to the
crowd who had gathered in tho bar*,
room.
Yes, was the response.
In less than half an hour the land
lord’s team was at tho door, and Mike
was ordered to get in.
Sure, you’ll give a drop of the crolh
uro, said Mike, afore ye token rue out
into the cold weather.
Yes said the landlord, ordering his
boy to set out t'ae decanter.
Here’s to the health of ye, said Mike
an’ may the blessed Virgin, parted ye,
and save you from ever bein’ in my
sitivation.
The liquor was drank and Mike and
the landlord started off for the town
trom which the borsc had been sto
len.
Daring the first part of the journey,
M’ka was exceedingly taciturn,and the
landlord was not disposed to disturb
his mediations. They had proceed**
ed Bomv, "half dozen miles wheu Mike
askod :
A. nd what will you get for this job,
mhjter ?
Twenty-five dollars, perhaps, replied
the landlord,
Sure an’ ye’ll make better business
of it than myself, if ye get that.
Yes, I guess so, said the landlord.
Mike relansed into silence, and after
an hour’s liue they halted in front of a
stable, and the landlord sung out to the
proprietor ;
Here’s the fellow that stole your
wagon.
This brought out tho stablekeeper
end bis ostieis, and the former having
thrown Mike’s head back so as to get a
fair view of his face, said :
This isn’t the man.
Isn’t the mar., repeated the aston,.
ished landlord.
An didn’t l tell ye so, said Mike.

Mahony that will quick be out of a
country where honest men are oncivily
thrated
The road was pointed out to him and
ho trudged off at a rapid pace, while
tho landlord, deliberately turning his
team around departed amid a shout of
laughter inwardly resolved never to ar
rest a man for borse stealing again.
A Very Proper Prisoner.
Her name will go down to posterity
aB Mrs. Margaret Jones of Crogham,
street, and a bundled years hence it
may be related that she made a very
profound bow to the oourt and impress
ively remarked :
“Sir, I am a very proper person, as I
shal prove, and I must be treated as a
lady.”
“Certamly,madam, we are always wil
ling to extend the utmost courtesy to
tne female sex. Let me observe that
you were discovered hanging to a fence
last evening—not by the neck, but by
your hands. You were calling for Hen
ry in a very thick and husky voice, but
there was no Henry.”
‘ Did y u ever hear of vertigo, sir ?”
she asked, as she stepped back a lit.
“I have madam, but it doesn’t make
the breath smell of gin.”
“Sir, I was attached with vertigo. I
am subject to it.”
“Are you subject to calling for Hen
ry, and to bi.ing and kicking police
men ?”
“No, sir, I am not; but under the
impulse of the moment even the Em*
press Engcnm might cry out and strag
gle. Why didn’t this officer ask me if
I w&Dled to go home ? Why didn’t he
escort me home ? Why didn't bo pro
cure a landeau and assist me to my res
ilience ?”
“There are several reasons why, Mrs.
Jones. In tho first place you were
drunk. In the second plaoe, landeaus
don’t go driving arouud town-at two
o’clock in the morcing. I know all
about your residence—l had the whole
crowd he.c ono morning, including
your coachman, butler, footman, dairy
maids. hostlers, and so on. They are
not out yet, and it will be a sort of
grand re-union when you walk in.”
“Sir, I do now a -Deal this case.”
“And I do now a-peal you for
thl. y days unless you hand over five
dol’ars.” ‘
“1 will send for lawyers, sir.”
“ Flease ‘don’t. Please go iu and sit
down.”
“I never, never will !”
A Scene in the Songhanln.
A correspondent of the London News,
who reached the Turkish camp iu the
Soughanlu range early in June, saw
the great glacier-like snow beds which
weie feeding the mountain torrents, and
felt the raw edge of the wind. Every
and y for a week there were rain and snow
storms, and every morning the camp
was covered with a thick sheet of snow.
To an ordinary European army, with
its baggage and artillery trains, the
country around the camp was impassa
ble, and the Turkish officers were not
surprised that tbe advance of the Rus*
sian left wing over the 9purs of the
Ararat chain to the south had not beeu
more rapid. It was in such a wintry
scene as this that the correspondent wit
nessed the roll-call in carno, and the
public punishment of a pair of military
offenders. The battalions were drawn
up in columns of companies along the
slope outside their tents. Tho report
was made in the usual fashion, aud
then, just before the sun disappeared
over the snowy Sierras toward Erzc*
roum, the Imperial salute was rendered.
The bands played a long-drawn-out,
wailing kind of air—the regimental bu
gles sounded a flourish, tbe drums roll*
ed, and simultaneously from tho entire
nrmv burst the cry, “Long live my
Padishah !” while the troops presented
arras. This ceremony was repeated
limes, ajd then the offenders were
marched from their battalions to a point
in front of the whole line Each man
placed himself on hands and knees, and
by him stood a soldier holding a stout
stiok about a yard long. On a signal
from the commanding officer the hands
struck up a lively air,and the men with
the sticks commenced belaboring the
culprits,keeping time to the music with
the greatest regularity. At a distance
they had the appearance of men beat*
ing dust out of carpets. After each
had received about fifty blows on the
back the music ceased, and the offend'
era returned io the ranks.
