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

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

track stands n , Lincly telegraph tower , nnd ns

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

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. In 1810 , with the
permission of Napoleon , the bishop of
Troves and Mgr. Manny had it brought
back to the cathedral.
It was made a religious festival. When
: t was placed upon exhibition 2i0)0 ! ( ) ( )
people Hocked to see it. It was exhibited
jvory seven years until 1S11. That year
ts exhibition was one of the greatest ro-
igious excitement. Eleven bishops andover
ever two million of the laily fiocked to
, ho city between August IS and Octo-
jor 0. There were 9,000 from the United
States.
For i > number of years petitions have
> eon made to the government asking for
jormission to exhibit tbo holy ooat.
Iltborto it had boon refused. Now it is
expected that there wlllboatromoildous
novomont to Troves. It is said that
00,000 will go from America. On the
Friesland 132 sailed. "
