It IfolIowM JloIUuz and swaying from Ue to lde, and bumming like a giant pee. car i big l:comotlve with a alnfclc attached surged and reared through North Carolina, South Carolina and into Atlanta yesterday. O. H.-Pennlrann was traveling ''special" seventy utiles and hour in pumuitof hla luggage and the veti boled limited. - From shortly before noon yester day morning, when Chief Clerk jDan Rudld, of Auditant General Paiten- cer Agent ' Ilard wick's office "here. received word that a special had started from baiiuoury, W.u in an jondeavor to catch the limited until the duflt covered engine and car null d into Atlanta and Mr. Pennlman, dusty 'but triumphant, climbed aboard the train he hid chased all day, nothing else was talked about by tho railroad men here. .The most Intense Interest was manifested). . It must h . understood that the Southwestern limited Is "The Great nduna" of the passenger trains on he Foufhern railroad. Her appointed duty Is to ran; be tween Now York and New Orleans Jn a number of minute. Whenj she falls in her duty, unpleasant things happen to the person at fault. Great interest la attached In railway Circle to everything affecting;, her pnlinary run. lit mII of the railroad offices theall-dny race that Mr. Penn piude In hU fccial watched by xpertrt on board. , 1 Telegrams were received at fluent intervals giving the progress of thet wo train an they left townjs be hind theui, and were read with eagt r Juterest. The first telegram received elated hat Mr. Peunlman had. left Balis bury one hour and thirty-seven minute behind the Limited, in an endeavor to catch it, and that he was to have a clear track through with right of way over all J rain 9. The pursuit was to continue lintll the train was caught. Mr. Pennlman did not say what It fnst, he simply desired to be put pbourd the train at the earliest t084l ble moment. Beyond the fact that this man of direct intthods who ordered a special w nt ti ed capitalist," he continned, smll- ng. ' - When pressed for further reasons for his wild ride he said without any nhf)w of Interest; There b nothing more to tell. I came through on a special train, not because I was in any special hurry, but for the simple reason that I dis liked havimr to wait for a later train." To Air. Pennlman this appeared to te an ample reason. Southern railway officials received many complimetits last night for the workmanlike manner Ik which the pecUI was worked through. The special ran 813.3 miles In 279 minutes. The following table show s how the distance was covered: Left Salisbury f 11:56 a. m. Arrived Greenville - ,1:58 p.m. Left Greenville . ..

In six minutes Worth had uncoupled hi- engine and Miller wa whirling the special tm its way to Atlanta. Miller and Burgess, cool, confident and dry when they began, were black, quivering and wet at the end of the run. Railroad engineers can never tel of their exploits. Thl applies to all men who perform deeds requir ing great courage andtlaring. Here is Engineer Miller 'a btory of his run told in halting phrase, with watch in hand for confirmation of time: uvv pulled out of Greenville at 2:04 and got here at 4:21.
