AN   OLC   FIREMAN   ON THE   EFFECT
OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
fThe Thocshts That Flash Through the
Engineman'a Brain Just Before a Collision Occurs—A Smash Tip Makes a Man
Scary Ever Thereafter.
There is something attractive about
railroad life to the man who once enters it. The railroad companies rarely
give tip a reliable, faithful man. He
may become maimed and unfit for the
most remunerative positions and be
forced to accept some humbler place
with a* smaller salary attached to it,
but it is an unwritten law with most of
the great railroad companies that the
man who is injured in their service
shall be placed in some position where
he may obtain his livelihood.
Thus it may happen that when you
fall in conversation with tbe man who
occupies a humhle switchhouse or a
flagman's shanty you are talking with
one who has had his share of excitement
and been through experiences that
would make the hair of the average-man
stand upon end. - A reporter met a
switchman the other day the pathos of
whose life was expressed in the wooden
leg which he used, and as the Empire
dashed by he looked up and said:
"Yes, I like railroading. I have been
in the husiness all my life and expect to
spend the rest of my days over the rails,
but I am quite content to remain here
in my little cottage and tend to my flagging rather than have the position of
the man who holds tho throttle on that
big engine which just whizzed by here.
Yon may think it a snap to sit there
and ride over the country at the rate of
a mile a minute, but I tell you the man
carries a load of responsibility on his
shoulders which I would not want on
mine and which the average man knows
very little about. I know something of
it, for I was fireman somo years ago on
one of the fast engines and lost my leg
in an accident between here and Albany. But if I had come out of that accident as sound as you are I never
shonld have been able to hold my nerve
for any more fast trips. That finished
me for that work.''
"Then if a man has been hurt in a
railroad accident it makes him scary
of that kind of work, does it?" asked
the reporter.
"You bet it does," answered the
switchman with emphasis, ' 'and don't
let any one fool you that it doesn't. The
man who was running that engine the
day I was hurt escaped with hardly a
scratch, bat ho never could keep his
time up the way he did before that and
finally was put on a freight engine,
where the running was a great deal
slower.
"I shall never forget tho way he looked tho afternoon the smash up occurred.
Just before the crash came I looked at
him. Wo were rounding a curve down
by Schenectady. His long gray hair
\vns flowing in the breeze, his face was
set and his eyes fixed on the track
ahead.
"All at once he jumped to his feet
and reversed tho lever and exclaimed in
a startled tone, 'My God, wo are
caught!' It was probably not more than
half a minute after when I was lying
beneath the engine with my leg crushed, utterly unconscious of the fact that
a great wreck had occurred, but every
movement and occurrence of that half
minute is as vividly impressed upon my
mind as if it had taken weeks of time
to impress it there.
'.'As he spoke I looked through the
cab window ahead of us, and there,
within 20 rods, was a freight engine
coming straight at us, and there was no
possible chance to escape a crash. The
engineer was doing his duty. I knew
that. He was reversing the lever, applying the brakes and doing his best to
avert What he knew was inevitable, but
I had nothing to do. and it seemed as if
everything in my life was before me in
those few seconds. I felt absolutely sure
I was going to die. Strange as it may
seem, the thought did not seem horrible
to me. A wholo lot of the slang sayings, such as, 'You are learning to fire
here in this world so as to be prepared
for the next,' and ' You won't mind a
hot job over there,' and a number of
those stale things which a fireman has
to take, came into my head, and even
in that awful position it occurred to me
in a humorous sort of way that I had
made a good start hero below, or here
above, as I might say. The next moment I was thinking of my wife and
children—yes, and of mother, too, who
had been dead a number of years. A
man always thinks of his mother at such
a time. But I don't think I had a particle of fear of death. The last thing
that was on my mind was the question,
Who was to blame for the accident?
And that is the last I remember.
"When I came to my senses, I was
in a hospital and was minus a leg.
Since then I havo been constantly employed one way and another by the railroad company, but I never see ono of
the fast trains go by without thinking
of that wreck. The engineer miraculously escaped with scarcely a bruise, but it
finished him for that kind of work. He
was always seeing engines ahead of him
after that, and I have heard that more
than once he has slowed up his train in
order not to collide with au imaginary
engine, which I have no doubt was as
real to him as it was on the afternoon
the wreck I speak of occurred. As I said
before, he was transferred to a freight
engine, but even there he was timid
-ind finally left the toad altogether.

A good many hundreds and even

that this is the sort of catechism tho

out in the evening:
"Where aro you going?"    .
"Oh, I'm going out for a few min-

"Where?"
' 'Oh, nowhere in particular."
"What for?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Why do you go, then?"
"Well, I want to go; that's why?"
"Do you have to go?"
"*I don't know that. I do."
"*Why do you go, then?"
"Because."
"Because what?"
""Well, simply because."
"Going to ho gono long?"
"No."
"How long?"
"I don't know."

One day a Dutchman, in his shirt

glass. His hand trembled so that he

■fortnight later, on removing the bandages, he discovered, to his horror that
