New York Sun Duskiek, N. Y., Sep! 4T don't oxpect to live much longer, and after am dead 1 want you to put in the papers the story of that tide I had from Pros pect to Brocton in i The speakor was Dufl’ Brown, an old locomotive engineer, who was lying at his home in Portland, this county, dying with consumption, This was several weoks ag On tho 7th of this month he died. Ho was nearly 60 yoars old. His story of the awful ride is this “In 1869 1 was running a mixed train on the Buflalo, Corry & Erio railway. The track between Prospect or Mayvillo Summit and Brocton Junction 1s so crooked that, while the distance is actu- ally only ten miles, the curvos make it actually by rail fourteen. The grade for tho whole distance is overseventy feet to the mile. About nine o'clock on the night of August 17, 1869, we reached the Summit with a train of two songer cars, six oil cars and a box car. The latter contaiued two valuable trotting horses and their keopors with them, on their way | bolieve, to the Cleveland meeting. There w fifty or sixty passengers in the two o 1 got the signal from the conductor start, and 1 pulled out. We had got un- der considerable headway, when, looking back, I saw that an o1l car in the middle of the train on fire. | reversed my engine and whistled for brakes. The conductor and_ brakoman jumped off. They uncoupled the passenger cars and set the brakes on them, bringing them to a stop. Supposing that the brakes on the burning oil cars would also be put on, I called a brakeman on the box ear to draw the coupling pin botween that car and the head oil tank, backing so that he could do it’ intending to run far enough away to save the box car and locomotive. As 1 ran on down the hill, after the pin had been drawn, what was my horror to see that the burning cars wore following mo at a speed that was rapidly increasing. The men had not succeeded in putting on the brakes. I saw that the only thing to be done was to run for it to Brocton, and the chances were that we would never reach there at the speed which we would be obliged to make around those sharp reverse curves, where we had never run over twenty miles an hour. ““When I saw the tlaming cars—for the whole six were on fire by this time— plunging after me, and only a fow foet away, I pulled the throttle open. The oil cars caught me, though, before I got away. They came with full force aganst the rear of the box car, smashing in one end and knocking the horses and their keepers flat on the floor. The heat was almost unbearable, and, do my best, 1 couldn’t place more than thirty foot be- tween the pursuing column of fire and ourselves. By the light from the furnace as my fireman opened the door to pile in the coal, I caught sight of the face of one of the horsemen in the box car, he hav ing climbed up to the grated opening in the end. He was as pale as death, and he begged me for God's sake to give her moro steam, I was giving her then all the steam she could carry, and the grade itaclf was enough to carry us down at the rate of fifty miios an hour. We went so fast that the engine couldn’t pump. Every timo we struck one of thoso curves the old girl would almost run on one set of wheols, and why in the world she didn't topple over is something 1 never could understand. She seemed to know that it was a race of life and death, and worked as if shejwere alive, ““The night was dark, and the road ran through woods, deep rock cuts, and along high embankments. There we were thundering along at lightning speed, and only a few paces bohind us, that firey do- mon in pursuit. ‘There were fifty thou- sand gallons of oil in those tanks, at least, and it was all in flame, a flying avalancho of fire five hundred feet long. The flames leaped into the air nearly a hundred feet. Their roar was like that of some great cataract. Now and then a tank would explode with a noise like a cannon, when acolumn of flame and pitchy smoke would mount high above the body of the flames, and showers of burning oil would be scattered about in the woods. T The whole country was lighted for miles around, “Well, it wasn't long, going at the rate we made, before the lights of Broc- ton came in sight down the valley. The relief I felt when these came in view was short lived, for I remembered that train No. 8, on the Lake Shore, would be due at the Junction just about the time we would reach it. - No. 8, was the Cincin- nati express. Our only hope, all along during the race, had boen that the switch- man at the Junction would think far enough to_open the switch there, con- necting the cross-cut track with the Lake Shore track, and let us run in on the latter, where the grade would be against us, if anything, and where we could soon got out of the way of the oil cars, The swith, of course would now bo closed for the express, and our last hopo was gone, unless the express ws || late, or somebody had senso enough to flag it. While we were thinking of this we saw tho express tearing along toward the Junction, Could we reach the Junc- tion, got the switch, and the switch be sot back for the oxpress before the latter got there! If not, there would be an in- evitable crash, in which not only we, but probably scores of others would' be crushed to death, All this conjecturing did not oceupy two seconds, but in that two seconds, 1 lived years. 4 Good God!' 1 said to my fireman; ‘what are we to do now? “The fireman promptly replied —and he was a brave little fellow - that I should whistle for the switch and take the chances. I did so. That whistle was one prolonged yell of agony. It was ashrick that seemed to tell us that our brave old engine knew our danger, and had her fears. Neither the fircinan nor myself spoke another word, ““I'hanks be to God! The engineer on the express traiu, sceing us tearing down that mountain with an eighth of a mile of solid fire in close pursuit of us, knew in & moment that only one thing could save us. He whistled for brakes, and got his train to a stand not ten feet away from the switch, The switchman now an- swered our signal, and we shot in on the 8Shore track and whizzed on up by the depot and through the l:luuu like a rocket. The burning cars followed us in, of coursd, but their race was run, They [~ had no propelling power now, and after chasing us a mile they gavy up the pur- suit, and in three hours there was noth- i bn of them but smoking ruins. “ly fireman and I were so weak when we brought our locomotive to a stop that CHEA ACE IN OM They always have the NO STAIRS TO CLIMB SALEM Addross either FURNITUREI e TH B PEST AHA TO BUY Furniture I8 AT DEWEY & STONES largest and best stock.
