RUINED BY A CIPHER.
A Man* Ufa Wr»«h«4 hf a Moment n*
Wmum tfulnass,
“There goes * men whose life wa*
ruined by forgetting tbe simple charac
ter 0," said a prominent railroad man to
a Han Francisco Examiner reporter, !
pointing to a ragged, besotted man
Shambling along tbe street, unmindful
of tbe rain.
He was a train dispatcher on tbe Ohio
A Mississippi railroad once, having
worked up to that position from messen
ger boy In tbe teb graph office. One
Monday be hsd only two trains on his
division, an express train Westward
bound snd s fast stock train running
East. The day was warm and sultry, j
and Hill, for that was bis name, bad
bard work to keep awske. He knew
that as soon ss be made tbe meeting
point for the two trains be coaid doze,
and be Impatiently awaited tbe time.
When tbe trains were close enough to
gether for blrn to figure a meeting point
be sent an order to tbe passenger train
to meet snd pas* tbe stock trsin
at a Hub; station called Willow Valley,
fixing tbe time at 12:60. To tbe
stock train be sent an order that it could
have until 1:26 to make Willow Valb«y
for tbe passenger, (fee tbe mistake.
He forgot tbe 0, and hence gave tbe
Stock train tbirty-flve minutes more than
be should. Hill saw bis mistake ten
minutes after be bad made it, but there
being no telegraph station between tbe
points where tbe trains were given the
orders or at tbe meeting point be could
do nothing to rectify it. fie sent for
the superintendent snd ordered out the
wrecking crew, then sst st tbe key pale
as death, tbe cold perspiration running
down bla face In streams, a waiting news
of tbe colllson.
It came. Tbe passenger train reacted
Willow Valley on time, waited the re
qulred thirty minutes under tbe time
card rules for tbe freight train a»d
then pulled out. Three minutes la*;r
tbe two trains met on s curve, both rei
ning st s high rate of speed. Fourteen
lives were lost In the collision, beside*
8100,000 worth of property destroy*!.
Hill resigned at once, and the next day
disappeared. For a long time it Was
thought be bail committed suicide, b A1
met blrn on tbe street here one day ,^at
as you see him a total wreck.”
