DEATH CATCHES THEM ALL.* are effecting the F.nKlnrcr MeFadtlrn Know Hr Would It* Kilted, and Hr Wa. Klllrd. . Tlx 1 midden and awful death of En- (fineer MeFMden rfH-alls very vividly a gtoiy that is told aljout the bravf and i nervy man who met his fate while at • • , his post of duty. Engineer MeFadden |campaign, just as was connected with the old Oregon and California Railroad company for many years. During that time (extending over a period of tyrenty-two years) he had lieen -in a good many aecidtmts and liail run many narrow escapes. All will vividly remember the fearful accident at Lelsuion Junction, in wliich Engineer John ("l tig Jack”) Miller and I'ireman Quint (iuthrio were killed. The tragic fate of ‘'Rig Jack” seemed to have made a very strong and lasting impres-ion on the mitid of Engineer MeFadden, and had been regarded by him somewhat in the lightof n presenti ment. Very soon after Miller’s death an old friend of MeFadden met the latter, and naturally the circmnstanees of the accident and the Lite of Miller were discussed. •'Well, John,” said the old gentle man, “tho fate of poor Jack ought to be taken as a warning by all you rail- mad era. Take my advice and get out of it w hile your skin is whole. Sooner or later it .catches all who follow it. Itetter get out of such dangerous busi ness.” MeFadden smiled sadly and -aiiI lie knew it was full of danger, and added. “It eutches nearly every fellow w ith his boots on who follows railrtwul big long enough.” Not long after Miller's death McFad den met with an accident near Turner station. The train was coming down tho track at a lively rate when tho lo comotive suddenly plowed into a band of frightened sheep. The crushed and mangled carcasses kept piling up in front of the engine until they reached a height of several feet MeFadden put on brake* and reversed, but the locomotive climbed up on top of the blooding mas:.of mutton and went over into tho ditch. MeFadden and the IJ ’cman had a very narrow escape from .! atli. and did not come out of it with oat serious injuries. MeFadden was laid up for some time, Imt on recover big went buck, like a brave follow, to Ins post of danger. Tin* dreadful ncei dent of Wednesday tells the story of his instant death.

T'.'cro was a leak in the roof of a cert tin down town restaurant, and the water came down in single drops about once in every ten seconds, and fell ex- m-tly in the middle of a chair in one of the most inviting parts of the place. Now a minister will take considerable time in wliich to deliver a sermon, and l:<‘ has got to repeat hi* performance lifty-two times in a year to keep some Clmstinns in tho proper path, but this little drop of water did more for the],, , . c og - of Sat. n during that dinner hour tOl’C I)U tlnuiKome uiinistcr* accomplisli in their line for a year. A business man with a distracted look on his face would rush in rapidly, notice tho vacant chair—for it was va- 1 ented every other minute—and, thank | big hi* stars forsneh a good seat, would j be in it and have a bill of faro in hi* | hands as quickly u* it can be told.

He wigs n business man. He had lost 1 a full minute by taking that seat, and ] that's where the innocent water drops j got in their fatal work. And another | tiling. Tiie other persons sealed' at that table knew what was the matter and had evidently been waiting for the finale, and now they had considerable difficulty in keeping their faces straight. While these things were forcing them selves upon him another drop struck him on the head, and while the angels I wept over the muttered expressions he) gave vent to, he vacated tIk- chair and i the trap was set for another victim who ! ibon entered and went through the same routine.
