Ferguson of this olty recently talked Interestingly ofrallroed matters generally, and especially of a little lnoldent that occurred at the wreck on tbe Seaboard road near Atlanta where Mr. Samuel Neltler lost bis life. As our people all know tbe CLE swollen stream had washed out tbe culvert Into wblcb tbe engine was thrown. Mr N-T- Noisier saw the danger into wblcb tbe train I was hastening, and Bpoke quickly to tbe men near him, telling them what he thougbt best for all to do, as tbe engine plunged Into tbe , ... branch. It was all over in tbe twinkling of [filler an eye. Neuler lay pinioned under the hot r-\ _ Sanders, tbe colored fireman, bad a leg KainS crushed and was Internally Injured, but was not held fast In tbe wreck. Seeing bis chiefs position, though himself mortally wounded, be immediately set to work with spade or -I REMEDY CO. shovel to turn tbe water of the cfreek on Mr. >, v?., kmo boston, imsi. Nelsler to save him from the tortures of the hot boiler. When exhausted, Sanders sat ^ down and asked to be given a drink of water. . ton Tbe water was handed to him. Before beset llfnrrl Xr f:f) tbe cup down he was dead. w VW| Mr. Ferguson thinks that a nobler or a _ more heroic act than that of S nders in turning the water on Nels'er is seldom re rtH corded. Mr. Ferguson thinks that Sanders' -UrtJtJXLWUUU ant proves that a man need not be a George Washington or a Jttonert ta. L.ee oeiore ne "PTT/I T may become a bero.
