Conductor ars Pisse A Frelght Traln How Thirty-six “There goe frightful experience and at the same time the most miraculous escape of any have ever heard of, speaker pointed out a ing along Park row Commercial for the particulars and learned that the man was Frank H. Young of kin, Pa. His right arm was at the shoulder, his face was badly scarred and in several re- spects he appeared to be laboring under a great deal of physical disability. The speaker continued the story, which seems almost incredible, but it has been rified in every detail. Irank H. Young was, in August, 1890, a conductor on coal train No. 21, on the Pennsylvania & Reading railvoad. On the morning of August 27 he received orders to take a nof fifty cars from Locust Summit to sShamokin. He had what railroad men call & *'bad train,” and before lcav- ing the yard at Summit it had parted, and this it did five times in succession within seven miles. All the links and pins on the train had been used and the w was obliged to use also the nehes on the engine to make the last coupling. After leaving Enterprise junction, the last place the train parted, Young, who was a careful and compe- tent conauct although & young mg ponsible a position, took up his * the middle of the down the steep grade between rise junetion and Greenback, At ve he attempted to take off the brake of a four-wheel slack car, which was ju iing into the sill of eight-wheel gondola. These rukes on the four-wheelers are on the side of the car and make it extra haz- rdous for men handling them. Young stepped back on the car, and just as ho did 0 the trap door in the bottom opened let him through with about five tons of coal. he train was running at ) an hour and thirty-six rars whirled .« smashed, torn and bleeding, but was conscious when picked up and his nerve had not forsaken him, although he had lost considerable blood from a miscellaneous lot of wounds in addition to his right arm being torn off at the shoulder blad How he escaped instant death is not for mortal to know.

The squaws, howe casily gather as much as they want from the smaller plants by means of long, thin poles with wooden hooks lashed to the ends, with which they pull down th truit. The gathered fruit is deposited day by day a4 common ¢ where 1t is pressed and the ju colleceted into | large earthen ol , where a modicum of water is added.
