The yardmen n i it that name be cause they are convinced that it really takes a pleasure in running oTtr nnd killing persons, When it was built, they say, there must hnve lieen something about the surroundings that east an evil spell upon the pon derous thing. Locomotives, according to a writer in the New York Journal, havo ten' peramcnts just like human beings. They are good-ifatured, bad tempered, murderous or charitable. It is even usserted that some locomotives have specialties in their wickedness, One w ill take delight iii killing lit 1 1.' chil dren, another in shiughterinir women, while a third in itiuko a specialty of t ramps or of a rdtlieil, ! "The Assnsslti" for many months , has been looked upon as a locomotive with 11 murderous heart. It has al ready killed two men niul more ihan a score of others hae uurt'owly es ( eaped its wheels. The tea in met i !- i Clare that its thirst for lil I has not i been satisfied hy the two murders it I has (lime. They feel sure that more victims must soon full before it. They till strange stories of the lo comotive quickening its pace with a I fury that the engineer at the throttle cannot control whenever there is chance of running down a man. Some of the experienced railroaders think this is imagination ami superstition, but the old-time engineer-- lre con vinced that what they nay is right. The last victim of "The Assassin" wastleorge K. Durham, a son of H lllintn Durham, former chief of I In New Brunswick fire department, who worked at night in the yards. Some of the men now say that he had sev eral narrow escapes from "The Assas sin." The more imaginative believe that the engine 'has sonic special grudge against him personally. A few nights ago Diirhnin kissed his bride of two mouths good h, and went to his work. He had not been long in the yard before "The Assassin" rnn upon him from behind and knocked him down. Both of his legs were cut off near the hips. He was removed to tSt. Francis hospital, where he died soon afterward in the arms of his wife. "These are not accidents.' - lid an ohl engineer; "they are murder That locomotive ought to he tak. u lu ,n eer; nnd the pieces thrown away or I r ied.
