A Stirring Railway Story.
"Y*a sir! 41m boy tbere, though bnt
five years old, stands upon tbe company's
pay roll aa a telegraph operator, at fifty
dollars a month. How did- it come about
you ask. Just wait a moment until my
relief comes, and as wa walk to the
houae ior supper, I will give you tb*
story.
The speaker was an eld school friend of
mine, whom I had hunted up after a long
absence from my native city, and fonnd
busily employed in the train dispatcher's
office of the-t>—■—Railroad, as chief operator. Upon bis instrument rested tbo
cabinet photograph of a little boy aad my
remarking upon the smart appearance of
the little fellow elicited tbe above reply.
Here followed the introduction to the
relief, a pleasant looking young man of
twenty-one or two, whose duty it was to
remain all night at the post my friend waa
just vacating, to whom was given some
general information as to how the trains
ware running upon his division, and what
orders had been issued; then, with apleas-
"' xivrnf ssSm. f -tan? - ni—iiy,— *\;uutiuiicu—my
friend, aa we emerged upon the street, and
turned our steps toward bis home.
"One year ago I was discharged from
the very position I now hold, for having,
as was charged,: caused the wrecking
of two freight trains at 0——, a small
station on our line, about thirty miles east
of here.
"You must know that all regular trains
upon our road are run upon the schedule
time, or, in other words, upon that laid
down in the time tables of the company.
But extras of any sort, or regular trains
wben off their sohedule "time must be
helped along by telegraphic orders, issued
by, or ia the name of, the train dispatcher.
This, upon a single-track road, carrying
so much traffic as ours, is constantly occurring.
"As I might weary you by details, if I
entered into too minute an explanation of
how. this is done, I will give you tbe system in as few words as possible.
"'For an example: We will say the
crossing point for No. 84  going west and
No. 35 going   east  is  B .   Now  all
trains am reported by telegraph from each
station aa the} pass. We are on the lookout for these reports, and before us is the
train sheet upon which must be noted the
time of departure of each train from any
station. Thus we oan tell, at a glance,
the position of every train upon tbe road.
"We will say these reports show No. 36
going east, to be thirty minutes late. No.
34 woald be obliged to wait at tbe usual
crossing point lor the laggard, but wa
give it an order to proceed to C—, ten
miles beyond, and cross No. 86 there, thnr
keeping it on time while causing no further delay to the delinquent. Of course it
ia necessary to notify both trains of the
change in crossing points, and right bere
is where my trouble occurred.
"One day, sitting at my instruments
busily employed as you saw me a few moments ago, I discovered that freight No.
103 was losing time. Soon it was 30 minutes behind, and wishing to help along
freight No. 66 which usually crossed at
B——, I ooncluded to push it along to
C——   for   a  crossing.     Accordingly   I
called aj* D , tbe next station beyond
tbe usual crossing point, and upon receiving tke  response went  ahead   with  this
0-der;
—WTo the Conductor and Engineer of No.
im%',! ¥ou will proceed to Q»"     and cross
No. 102 there.
h-^-.' (signed) Hobbs, -Dispatcher.
"The next move was to protect them in
thus passing  their usual point, by giving
the same order to No. 102 at A
"CalliDg top A      i - tmimi ia the cipher
used on  such  occasions:     '14 for   102.'
This blue signal, a flag  by day and a lantern by night, conspicuously displayed in
front  of a  station,   means   telegraphic
orders, and  by this signal no train   ia allowed to pass.   Instantly came back the
reply from the   operator at A*—,   15 for
103.' _______ ■
Now every operator's dnty is to put out
the signal before replying wit—. 15, which
means, "blue signal displayed, and will
bold the train.' You see tbe use ofthe
oipher figure* is a great saving of time
and apace. Tbe most imperative orders
are issued, and the utmost care taken in
moving trains "by telegraph; and to answer
with 15 before tbe signal ia displayed is
Contrary to all rule, as in so doing there
ia a chance that some duty will come up
inthe performance of which the signal
will be neglected nntil too late.
"Well,   upon receiving  the assurance
that" the flag was ont at A . I gave the
order, corresponding to the one above, but
addressed to No. 102: Thus I have all
arranged according to rule, for a crossing
at C .   Soon came the answer from No
86:
'"»fb Hobbs, DispaUiher:
'We understand we are  to  proceed to
C——, and cross No. 102 there.

< 1* *tfr__*-T-romptiY gava*0.".,  and
they   were, dispatched.   As No. 102  had
not arrived at A , and no reply could
be received  from  them   until conductor
and engineer had signed the order, whieh
Of course, the blue flag would notify them
was theirs, I turned my attention to other
duties, and thought no more of that crossing, until sometime   after, it  occurred to
me that No. 103 Jm*M slow about replying.
■'So-calling the  operator  at  A——,   I
asked:'   'Has No.. 102 arrived?
" 'Arrived and gone,' was the reply.
" 'Gone withont receiving the orders  I
gave you?   Impossible!   Did you not display your blue flag ?
***\%m V was the reply.   'Having receiv-
od no orders to do bo, I did not.'
w 'The operator at s\  was comparatively a new man, a nephew of an influential member of onr board of directors,
through whom he had obtained his posi-
tion, and through whose influence I was
soon to lose mine.
"•His deliberate falsehood astounded
me, as well it might, for allowing the
train to proceed withont the orders meant
for them to ran by C-— and endeavor to
reach their usual crossing place at B—,
as soon as possible, to save delay at 66,
whicli was rushing along expecting to
reach them at O—. The result must be a
collusion.
"The thought drove me nearly frantic.
Further questioning only resulted in
further denial from the operator of having received any orders to hold the train,
which orders he accused me of having
failed to send.
"With fast beating heart* and a terrible faintness upon me, I dropped my head
upon the instruments and prayed for tbe
poor fellows upon the trains. How many
of them would survive the wreck, which
now it was impossible to prevent, for between the tiA heaving trains rushing towards each other so swiftly, no operator
was on duty inth bnsily clicking instruments to warn tbem of tbeir fate.
"Noticing my action the dispatcher
eagerly inquired tbe trouble. I could not
reply in words, but noticing my instrument calling, I grasped a pen, and with
my trembling fingers copied this message.
It was addressed to superintendent from
tbe conductor No. 65. and ran thus:
"Freight No. 65 and 102 met in head
collison one mile east oi C—, speed of 16
miles-per boar. Crews of both trains escaped uninjured. Fifteen cars derailed,
live ot tbem wrecked completely, badly
blocking the main line. Will report in
person by first train."
- "My greatest fear had been that loss
of life would result.
- "At Is usual in snch cases, all the participants in tbe affair were called before
tbe superintendent. Each man told his
story. The operator at A—firmly at*
hered to bis falsehood, and I as firmly to
the truth, bat to no purpose. Tbe influence of director uncle saved for bim his
position, tbe blame was attached to me,
and £ was discharged, forced to give up
my position, and move.
"Sometime before this, busting tbe
security of my position, I had put all our
little saving together and purchased a
small house and lot in pleasantest part of
oor city. I had borrowed from our
savings bank tbe sum of two thousand
dollars, and placing a mortgage for that
amount on the place, believing that with
prudence and economy we should be able
to repay and lift the mortgage in due
course tat time.
"A pleasant little place it was, and
much pleasure we took tt fixing it up with
flowers and vines until it presented a
most attractive appearance, aod to ourselves, at least, was the very perfection
of taste and home comfort.
."Now tt must all be given up. This
made tbe blow doubly bard, for where
could I obtain a position at my business,
with' the knowledge tbat I had caused a
wreck?
"No! I must give it all up and commence at the foot of the ladder again.
"The company, having decided to put
in the  wires and open tbe station at
C , as a measure for guarding against
furthertrouble, very kindly accept. Soon
we moved into our pew quarters—ia a
modest bouse near my station.
"Day after day came and passed now
so uneventfully as nearly to destroy all
ambition. Duties, there were none to
speak fit. My station was what is termed
a 'flag station.' Trains made no regular
stop there, and when an occasional passenger wished to take tte train, a very
unusual occurrence by the way, my red
flag by day, or red light at night, 'hauled
up' the desired team. I grew despondent. Every day I sat iu my little den of
an office, listening to the business passing
no active pan, for rew, int——id, were tlie
opportunities I had to open tbe wires.
•'My little boy was almost my constant
companion. He took great delight in
tte rqral life which we were obliged to
lead, grew stout and brown as any little
rustic, and bis delight knew no bounds,
as he stood upon the platform wben the
beavy freight train went by, tar tbe fast
express, witb a rush and a scream of the
whistle, passed like flash ; and be would
watch them ont of sight with great round
eyes, laughing and clapping his hands
with delight.
"One beautiful summer day. when I
had been some three months at my station, sitting as usual watching and listening at my instruments, for want of some
thing better to do, I heard the dispatcher's
office calling A , heard him answer,
followed by an order from tbe office to
'44 for special freight passing east,' heard
the reply exactly as the operator had
given it to me on tbe wreck—'15 for
special freight,—then this order:
"To Conductor and Engineer Special
FreigM."
"You will not leave A——until special
passenger train, Fairfield, conductor, be
arrive*L'T
. The special passenger train referred to
was, as I knew, for I had heard it reporter by wire, composed of an engine, superintendent's private car, and director's
ear, filled with tte officers of tbe road
with their wives, all of whom had been
down the line on a pleasure trip, to inspect the new station and grounds of our
eastern terminus, and were now returning with all haste.
"I heard tte superintendent's telegraphic request to the dispatcher to give
them the right of the way as far as practicable, and ia accordance with this instruction be was now holding back tbe
freight.
"_ sat idly watching the approach of
the special, and marking the quick time
they were making, as the telegraphic reports, one by one, succeeded each other,
as the train passed station after station—
and still bemoaning my hard fate.
"I sat there some time until I was disturbed by an entrance of the little boy,
who had been busy at play outside. He
came in high glee,, exclaiming: 'Papa!
Train coming!"
**Ko, dear not just yet. Wait five minutes, and then we will see them go flying
by," I answered bim witt a smile knowing how pleased he would be to see the
rushing train.   ,
'■ "No! now, papa, now 1 I can see the
smoks—come oaa, quick!" To please
him I complied, and looked up the line
in the direction of the approaching
special, which had passed the last station
east of me, md must now be within five
miles of our station. .
"That way, papa ! Look through the
trees—see?"
"I turned and saw, rising above the
trees, tha black smoke which denoted the
approach of a train. In an instant I
understood the situation. The freight
was approaching; the freight which was
ordered to remain at A——— to cross the
passenger train. For a moment I was
dazed, but only for a moment, for I knew
something must done, and that qniekly,
to avert an awful catastrophe.
"Below my station, pome hundred
yards or so, round a curve wbich hid it
from sight, was a switch which opened
npon a track running by tbe station for
the station. Theie the little fellow stood,
just where I had placed him, and the lag,
yes ! the flag was waving, np and down,
up and down, as fast aa tbe stout little
arms could move it, and away down the
lines as far as the aye conld reach, I could
see the special passenger train ooming.
Now for it 1 Looking and running ahead
again I saw tha freight.
" Thank God! I sball reach the switch
first,' I cried, and ran on. My switch-key
was out of my pocket as I ran, and in my
band. A moment more and the switch
was reached, and the train a thousand
feet behind in the race tot life. To insert
the key, unlock and throw tha rails upon
the siding, was tha work of an instant.
"Yes 1 I was discovered by tha engineer of tbe train—heard the shrill whistle
for brakes, the danger signal, saw tha engine reversed, the brakemen scrambling
over the tops of the cats setting the brakes,
and knew all was done that could possibly
bo done to slacken the speed of tbe beavy
train.
"In a moment they wan within hailing
distance, the fireman was upon my side,
down upon the steps of his engine making
ready to jump.
" 'Stick to your engine,' I cried. Ran
upon the siding. TeU the engineer to
stick and stop her for bis life.'
"It ia wonderful that he heard me, much
more comprehended my meaning through
the rush and roar of the train, and hiss of
escaping steam, aa the engine rolled by at
greatly reduced speed; but I saw him
olimb back and commence setting tbe
brake of the Under. With a terrible roar
and grinding of 'cha brakes upon the
wheels, the train passed.
"I closed aad looked the switch upon
tha main line, aud started back for the station. I knew the special must have
stopped there; ere this, it would have been
upon us. Yes! Sure enough— ooming
in sight of the station—there she stood,
safe and sound, and upon tbe siding beside
it stood the freight, now come to a full
stop.
"The platform ia front of the little depot was filled with the passengers of tbe
special and train-men. I saw the boy, still
holding the red flag, ia the arms of the
Superintendent. Crowded about him were
President, Board tst Directors and other
notables, invited guests of the road, with
their ladies, numbering full tweuty-five
people, who certainly, soma of them if not
all, owed tbeir Uvea to the little fellow.
Upon reaching the station I waa at once
tbe centre of the excited throng, all eager
for an explanation. In as few words as
possible I gave, ia answer to tha Snperin-
tendant's inquiry, my story how the baby
had discovered the approaching freight,
how I had instantly placed him with the
flag, which it seems had been the means of
stopping than, hav I bad hastened to the
switch, arriving just ia time to pat the
frieght upon the siding, and tbat was all.
r"AU?—not This was followed by an
impromptu directors' meeting in my little
seven-by-nine station—a directors' meeting
in which ladies took a prominent part. I
was called in with my wife, who had run
to the station, alarmed by the unusual
excitement—and the boy. - Speeches were
made which brought the blush to my
cheeks and tears to my wife's eyes, and
pride in the boy.
'Yes, sir 1 they voted ma two thousand
dollars for prompt action and heroio conduct in time of danger, and at the suggestion ef the ladies—who bat a woman
would have thought of anything so romau-
tie ?—also voted to place tha boy upon
the pay-roll as a telegraph operator.
"A happy household we were that evening, and with many a kiss the hey was
put to bed that night, The next day I
was called to the general offices and tha
dispatchec having told his story, how tbe
orders had been promptly given to hold
the freight, there were no doubts now as
to the person who had been remise ta duty
npon both occasions. I was reinstated in
my  old   position,   and   we immediately
moved back into the little house, you see 1

boy running to meet us now—a proud Uttle fellow upon payday, as ha goes with
me to the office, and stands among the men

"The operator? Oh I Without stopping to learn tbe result of his second
blunder he deserted his post and fled. I
have uo knowledge of his future career.
His error lay iu replying tbat the blue was
displayed before putting it out, and then
neglecting it. When he saw tha train
pass he deliberately tore up the orders,
trusting in hie abiilty to shift the blame
upon me, in tho first instance, but the second was too muoh."—W. D. Holman in

Bat I must also stop the passenger train
for fear the freight would not get here in
time.
"Rushing into the station I grasped my
signal flags, put the blue in its proper
place, but not daring fo trust to that to
stop them, for fear the engineer, having
his orders fo run past my station, and at
the high rate of speed he was coming,
might aot see it, I took the red flag and
the boy in my arms, and placing him in
the middle of the platform, put the Hag
in his hands.
" 'Arthur !' I said sternly, 'do just as
papa says, now, and we will save the
trains. Stand right hero ! Do not move
except fo wave this flag so 1* giving him
the up and down motion. 'Wave it, my

What ia a railway ? A publie highway
—nothing else. Just like tbe rivers. The
rivers are publie highways. Nobody In
this country. Standard OU Trust eo* othei
inferior character, attempts to put a tourniquet upon them. When the first public
roads were made ia this country they were
turnpike or wagon roads; hat they ware
highways. No oompany attempted to
make a different charge for toll to one
man as against the otber for a like
vehicle. When the railroad compaaies
organized they took the private property
of citizens, under tbe right of eminent domain, because the property was taken for
a pnblic highway in trust for the uses of
the publio; and the first railway oompanies in this country organized simply with
the right to maintain a publio highway
and to change a tell for sta aaa. It was
expected that.the transporter should furnish their own cars and their own locomotives or horses, because originally the
service t_ railway was done by horses.
Railroads are simply advanced and improved avenues of transportation; hot
with'reference to Um rights of the community .to equality of rates they preserve
throughout the same features as the rivers
and turnpikes. Now why should there be
any difference now existing ? Ood made
the rivers, and man laid the rails, I suppose our friends will aay, and hence the
Standard Oil Company deserves to have
the monopoly ef low rates.
Why, if the Commission please, look at
the development aad prosperity of tbis
country wherever the public highways an
natural highways aod open at the same
rates to all. Look at the lake oities.
Where wiU yoa find, except as to one or
two places on the seaboard, such industry
and prosperity aa tbat whioh clusters
around the shores of our great lakes.
Why is this t Beoause every man has a
free right to transport over the natural
highway on terms of perfect equality ; because no one great monopoly, with its
power over a weak freight agent, can trample upon the rights of other men ia the
use of those highways which the Almighty
created without the intervention of man.
You see prosperity wherever there i* equality and freedom. Where upon tha rail-
foads in this country doea such freedom
aad equality exist ? Yet they an pnblic
highways, Just like the river and the turn-
pike. Every man is entitled to the same
rate; every man should be entitled to the
same service by paying tbe same rata
What ia tbe admitted great evil in this
oountry ? Any student of social and political science will say that the one great evil
in the United States is the unjust accumulation of wealth by means of railway discrimination. The President of the United
States, ia his recent Message, referred to
the growth of syndicates and trusts monop
olizing the business of the oountry. Noa
the point I should like to impress upon
your Honors hi this, that in a manufactured article not protected by patent right
and tbe basis of whioh is one of the great
natural products of the country, there can
be no successful syndicate, there can be no
successful trust or monopoly, without the
protection of unjust discrimination by
railways.

The Commissioners of Crawford county
were called upon to pay a peculiar claim
against the county recently. Tbe law
compels tbe payment of a dog tax in the
oounty, and ia ease of tbe killing of sheep
by dogs in the county is bound to pay tbe
owner of the sheep the amount of damage
he bas sustained from su-r-p-ki i .; dogf.
Oae of the leading fari_ei* at this township bad a dog for wbioh he paid the tax
assessed on the animal, thus obtaining tho
right to keep him for the year. A few
nights ago the farmer heard a great commotion among his sheep, and, hurrying to
the enclosure where they were kept, found

tbe farmer's own dog tearing at its threat.
He mad* short work of the dog, shooting
it dead as soon as be could get his gun.
The next day the farmer weut to Meadvilfe
and put in a bill against tbe county for the
eight sheep his dog had killed.
"It waa my own dog that did the damage, I know," he argued before tbe Board
of Commissioners, "but I had paid tax to
the county on bim and bad a right to own'
him. If he had killed some other man's
sheep the county would have paid for
them. He bas killed mine, and tbe connty
is bound to pay me tbe same as it would
| have paid my neighbor if my dog had
killed his sheep."
The Commissioners were at first inclined
to laugh off the novel olaim, but when
several lawyers agreed that foe farmer's
claim had a good chance of beiug sustained
at law, the Commissioners restrained tbeir
mirth and paid for his sheep.
