FROM ENGINE CAB TO STATION , The Pathos and Humor of Lifo on the Rail , REMINISCtNSES OF THOMAS POTTER. Shorty Allcn'HTIirllltiiK l > lvo Into tlio Dlliili on tlio IJui-lliiKtoii a Pint form P.-isHCiijtor I nnil Short WaltH , Kto. The Creston correspondent of the Chicago lloralif revives Interesting reminiscences o Tom Potter , which will bc.ir repetition Crcaton , In. , was Potter's pot town. Ho lived in it , loved It , Invested freely In it , and doomed It whenever the chunco proientod. Kvcrybody In the bluegrass region know nnil loved "Tom" P-Htor as ho was universally called. There wasn't an engine wiper on the Hurllnqton system that didn't express heart felt sorrow when the dealh of the famous railroad manairer was announced. When Tom Potter severed hU connection with the road with which ho had been so Ion ? associated aud accepted the position of KO"- oral manager of the Union Pacillo at a salary of $ 'JO,0 ( ) ( ) a year Crostoii's heart was we nigh DroKcn. When the tlmo came to leave Tom went ever the road in his spnci.il car to take a per sonal farowcll of the inon with whom ho had so IOIIK been associated. It is said that when ho reached Pacillo Junction he .spied ono ol hl- > favorite engineers , Mtko Dtigsan , seated in ills cab , Just ready to pull out. Kushlng across the platform Tom Jumped on the en gine and reaching out his hand that was nev er known to deal on unfair blow , no grasped Dugean's primy list , and overcome by his emotions , blurted mi alTecllonato farewell. The great big , burly Irishman in the cab made no attempt to conceal his feelings , but just boo-hooed right out before the crowd of .spectators , whoso own eyes wore bedimmud with to.irs at this touching sight. Why should the rank and Illo not have loved him I Ho dealt impartial justice to nil. If n man felt that ho was unjustly treated by ono ubovu him ho always know that ho could got redress at the hands of Tom Potter , and Tom was never too busy , even after ho wont to Chicago , to bear a complaint from the bum- blest workman. After carefully considering the evidence , Tom would render a decision , and if thu common laborer was held to bo in the wrong the applicant returned homo thor oughly satisllcd that such much bo tbo case , since Tom Potter had so decided. # When President Cleveland appointed an unknown named Williams of Ivcouuk as United States marshal of Iowa , when every good democrat In the state favored that fat her in Israel , Ed Campbell of Fairllold. it waste to Tom Potter they turned for oounsol and help. And the bovs knew their m.m. As delegate t largo from Iowa in the national convention of 1SSI Tom bad boon n. warm supporter of the iiinn of destiny , and ho went at once to Washincton to seek an interview with the president. Ho was cordially re ceived , for his fame had preceded him even into the white hutisc. "Is there tiny favor I can do for you ) " aslced Mr. Cleveland. "Only ono , thank you , " answered Tom , modestly. ' 'Maine Itand if within my power it is granted , " returned the chief executive of the nation , "Revoke the commission re cently given Mr. Williams ns United States marshal and appoint Mr. Campbell of Fair- Hold itisoad , " said Tom unhesitatinglv. The president looked serious , but Tom followed up his request with so clear an exposition of the status of the case that Mr. Cleveland saw he bad been unfair to the Iowa democrats and had not done wisely in listening to the Now Yorkers who had uoomea tno ICeokuk man. Ho was too great to bo petty , and hu ended by granting the railroad nmu's reiiuest. Tom returned to Iowa In triumph , and the threatened trouble among the party was averted. # Shorty Allen pulled a freight train on the Akron division of the B. & M. railroad In Nebraska. Ho was a fairish sort of an en gineer , but ho had neitheir fear nor Judg ment. Ho came "oif the Heading" nt the time of tbo big ICulghts of Labor strike there , nnd struck the "Q" when thu brothor- hosd men went out in the spring of ISbS. Shorty "dumped 'fin in the ditch" with gtoutcr facility and nonchalance than all the other englnoorj on the line , and old-Archie the master mechanic at the McCook stiops was always growling about him. Wray hill is the worst grade in the divi sion and it used to bo Shorty Allen's delight - light when coming down from Akron to Mc- Coolc to "shut 'er oft" at Iho top of the hill and "slide down. " If ho happened to have orders to meet an up train at the siding ho always acted on the principle that it was the other man's business to bo on the siding so that , ho could "skato by , " and he trusted to luck to stop if the other man did not happen to bo on tlio siding. Ono fine day , in the summer of 1838 , Shorty started to "slldo down" Wray hill with "forty loads tolilnd him. " Ho had orders to meet an up train at the siding , but ho tlgurod that the other fol low would bo on the siding and he would slide by. It happened that the other fellow was on the siding and that the up oxpros.s , wliioh Shorty bad not expected to moot there was on the main track. Both expected Shorty to "saw by. " Down the hill came Shorty ni If ho were going clean through to McCook , working steam half way down. Shorty's engine was 181 , n big mogul. "She's got a great set 'o wheels " used -declare ' 'and , Shorty - , , say , doctor , but she can turn 'em. " She was "turning "em" that day. The passenger engineer heard him coming aud saw in n second there was going lo bo n crash. " ! " ho shouted , "Shorty Allen is sliding down and ho's going clean through to Holdrcdge. " Ho was running up the track before hu llnlshod shouting. Ho reached the switcli Just in time to yank it oiion nnd send Shorty in on to thu freight train. Short- had been sitting on his box with his heels out of his forward window. When ho saw where ho was ho "lot go ono yelp for brakes" and then he slid off his box and "plunged hor. " It took loss than half n mlnuto to "tip her ovor" nnd "cut 'or back , " nnd she was "dropping sand" when Shorty looked up Justin time to see old Ibt smash into the freight engine on the siding , which had been deiorted on the run by bur crow. When the row wai over and the splinters had quit Hying what was left 01 isl was lyinc in a DUIUIIU bcsiuo a culvert live car lengths In from the switch. She had telescoped the other engine and four cars. Half of her cab , a lover or two , a few rivets , and a bundle of boiler iron nnd wheels were all that was loft of Ibl. The piece of the cab lay on its sldo with the window facing the culvert. Shorty's tlrenmn landed about thirty foot short of the culvert In a very undigiiillod posture , but Shoity was not to bo seen. The mm began to search for him at once , nnd when thuv had bean at it about tifteon min utes Shorty hovu ir. tight from behind the section boss's house , where ho said ho had [ icon thrown. There was a crowd of moti standing around the wreck wondering what had become of Shorty. Ho stumbled over to where they stood and began poking around the rubbish. "Hollo , Shorty 1" shouted half n dozen nt once. "vVhoro aid you como from I" Shorty pointed to the piece of the cab and said : "See that .holeI Well , that's where I came out , and , by gosh 11 want a drink. " Tno last boll has rung for the departure ot .lie prldo of the road. The passengers have jld a last good-bye , and yet the train stands notlonless. The engineer has oiled every botirinir , tested over } paugii. The trainmaster - master < 'omos running with his last orders and a hurried Imprecation to start , but still the engine stands , for Dili , the tlroman , Is tot on board. "If ho's not heroin ten seconds another man takes hla place , " yells the trainmaster , and two ntunly men leave thu freight engine on ttii ] sldo tracks and stand waiting orders , Half the tlmo hud olapsoa when 1)111 runs out from the shadows , and clatnboring up over the tender opens the back tank lids , whllo the train glides out nmlnutu and a half ute , On the front end of the baggage car crouch two mulllod figures- two passengers who lover pay. faster and faster , out of the city , and away speeds the train , the engineer's eyes fastened m the Nblnlng rails that reach out like gleam- ng snakes ; Hill raking and shoveling until he glowing fnrimco fairly roars. The UehU of the farm houses appear In the distance , thea. . rcw closer and closer , nro prmed nnd tost. Here nnd there along the track stands n , Lincly telegraph tower , nnd ns the train rushfclf bv the operator roporta that Iho express Is tfo'lnliig time , 'with a clear wny ahead. Suddenly straight away In the cantor of the track shines n narrow , glistening band. Its watery Mirfnoi tgllttors with the rollcctlon from the two signal lainpi that toll of safety. Hill drops the scoop with the lover nt his sldo and the express is taklne water. Up , up It rises until the tank Is tilled , nnd from the roUr port's rushes n stream like n cataract , while badk ever the train Heats a spray Ilko that from n miller's wheel. At last the trip Is ended , the train has como In on tlmo , rUal no sound Is heard but the sobbing of Mid < tiglne , when two dripping apparitions limp from behlud the monster , nnd n husky volco wheozcs out to the engi neer : "Say , cap , do you nlwnys run through Hint lakol" Hill laughs , and snys : "Tramps , Jim ! I soon 'em In the dopot. " * They wor" standing 01 the station platform waiting for a train which was Indollnltoly delayed , says the Express Messenger. Ho was a stupld-lookliiL' man , and she was n nervous , Irritable so'rt of woman , who ap peared to bo mad because the man wasn't. "I wonder If that train is over coming ! " she snld with a snap. "Ycs'ni , " ho drawled good-naturodlv , "tho road'll lose its charterif It don't. " She looked nt him suspiciously. " 1 wonder what keeps It so long I" she ven tured , nftorn moment. "I guess It's n heavy train , mn'atn , " ho said hesitatingly. "How do you" know anything about 111" she asked hotly , for something in his tones provoked her. "I was Jest Jedgin' from the wait nt this end , ma'nm , " ho replied very slowly , gazing far oil down the truck , nnd the woman actu ally throw ho umbrella at him so llorcely that ho was compelled to cllaib the fence into the adjoining Held to return it to her. "Why nro wo waiting hero so iongl" in- dlgnnntly Inquired n lady on an excursion train that was standing on n sldo track. "Wo had to stop to flx a hot box , " replied the con ductor. "Woll"shu replied , "if you had heated them before starting , instead of leav ing it till now , you would have showed more souse. " And she plumnod Into her seat , fool ing that she had pulverized the hapless con ductor. TO SICK THI-J HOIjY COAT. ThoiisAiicln Journeyim ; to TroyeN from AH Parts oftlio World. The pUjjrimnfro of Americans to Europe - rope to look upon the holy coat of Troves lias begun , says tbo Now York World. That is a long journey to look upon a rulio. But tbis is an extraordinary rblic the most sacred in the keeping of the C.xtholic church. To bo sure certain ecclesiastics hnvo discredited its authenticity. But the mass of pcojjlo in the Catholic church believe it is the garment the Savior wore. wore.When the announcement was made that the coat would bo on exhibition this year it aroused much interest among good Catholics in America. Al most directly plans foe pilgrimages were arranged. The llrst to go loft on the steamer Friesland of tbo Hod Star line , which sailed for Antwerp last Tuesday. Very old and famous is the city of Troves in Rhenish Russsa. Itlieson the right bank of the Moselle , a ruin of former magnificence. In Troves are found tbo lincbt specimens of Roman esque architecture. Very splendid is the cathedral. A hundred years ago tbo city library contained 100,000 volumes. But tbo city is celebrated above all other things because in it is treasured the holy coat , which has received the most devout veneration from all good Catholics. it was at. Helena who gave the coat to the city. It is said she was born in Colchester , Ktipl'mid , late in the third century. She did not accept Christian ity until she was eighteen. Then her zeal was extraordinary. Her pilgrimage to Palestine in the fourth century is a famous event in the history of the Cath olic cburcli. The object was to secure tbo cross upon which the Savior was crucified. She found throe crosses. The holy ono was distinguished because it was said a inero touch healed a helpless in valid. While Poarching for the cross St. Helena found the coat the seamless coat. She scoured what was considered positive proof that the Savior had worn the garment just before crucifixion. When St. Helena returned to Europe she spent many years in Troves , which was then a famous religious center. She presented tbo coat to the cathedral. The first mention made of the coat was in tbo fourth century. It appears in the Gosta Trevirorum. For centuries iftor that it was oxihbited regularly. The bishop of Bruno was consecrated in it in 1121. In HlMj it v/as translated from the chair to tbo high altar of the cathe dral. > dral.Then Then came tbo wars of tbo middle ages. In order to preserve the coat it was placed in the castle of Ehronbrout- stoin. There it remained for centuries , safely hidden away.
