Or, in- this case, under the olrcuraatencea, what was the one thing, which done, would have pre vented the accident T The one thing wanted was to let the air la the brake cylinders escape, when every wheel on the. whole train except those on ths pilot truok would have been instantly clamped aa In a tremendous vise. - - When tm ordinary occasions an engi neer wanta te brake down his train he late up on hla air pressure. In the cab, and if there le something wrong with hla air pump ha calls for braksa to the train crew 1 with one blast from the whistle That la the only thing that saves, the shrill.' piercing, earspllttlng blast it does the bustnsaa, it gsta help, and it would have got It in thta case. The one thing to have dona in this caso wae o, blow the whistle; one blast for brakes; or six for emergency call, and the train would have been stopped in three tlmaa ita length by those whose ears are never closed to the call of the engineer, '; ' , .

Why was It not the natural and logical thing to do to pull open the whlatla and get help? Doea the engineer or the con ductor run the modern train? And Is there no rule that when the engineer It In trouble be Is to let the conductor and erew know at oncer Or must hs, burned and blinded, crawl arouodand in hla agony seek some dangerous and doubt ful expedient to accompllah hie end, while his train slides en to sure destruc tion, and while hla brave fireman at tempts sn equally hasardoua plan and equally futile? Why did he not report at once by whistling to bis superior offi cer that be was In danger end give him a chance to come to hie relief by bringing the train up atandlng Jn leas than three' lengths? - i- a What a chance for the hero hoboa, If there were en air cock on the pilot, for when they saw danger ahead they could havo eased the train down te the atattoa and alighted as gentlemen ahould.
