"NOBLY FOUGHT THE STORM.
The Experience of a Cumberland Valley Railroad Crew
Got Protection in a Store-Box
Brakeman Moore Was Left Behind and Then Came Back to Hagerstown, Clearing Poles From the Track.
A number of Cumberland Valley Railroad trainmen got together in Chambersburg, says the Valley Spirit, and commenced relating their experience in the terrible and disastrous storm on last Friday night.
The furious wind blew down 18 telegraph poles between Hagerstown and Greencastle. When near Maugansville near State Line, one of these falling poles struck the headlight of locomotive 23, tore it from the iron horse and missed hitting fireman Robert H. Moore by only an inch or two. The locomotive, on which Bruce Elder was engineman, was immediately stopped, as it could not be run ahead without a light to show the condition of the track.
Conductor J.H. Fosnot and brakeman William Edmondson of the passenger train the locomotive was taking from Hagerstown went ahead with lanterns. W.E. Foltz, of the Car Record office, who had been running on the Winchester branch during the week and was ‘dead heading it’ home, volunteered to assist them while brakeman Clifford Moore was sent back to flag an approaching train.
With lanterns and axes the three men walked ahead of the train on the track and cleared it of a number of fallen telegraph poles. Four miles they this walked and worked until they reached Long’s station. The rain poured down upon them, wetting them to the flesh and ruining their clothing.
When the track was cleared a search was made for flagman Moore, but he could not be found and the train went back to Chambersburg, reaching there several hours late. Afterward Moore was discovered by the late train south endeavoring to obtain protection from the terrific storm in a store box at Maugansville. He flagged the train and was taken aboard and carried to Hagerstown.
That run (part of it might properly be termed a walk) will not soon be forgotten by the railroaders who acted as headlight and wrecking crew at one and the same time.
Annanias still lives [meaning dishonest journalism/false news reporting on the part of the Frederick News]. He has a position on the Frederick News, but during the storm Friday night he was carried to Carlisle, being so light. At that place he wired the following message to the United Press.
‘During the terrific rain and wind storm that swept through the Cumberland valley Saturday morning early the New Orleans express of the Cumberland Valley railroad, while approaching Maugansville station, near Hagerstown, struck a telegraph pole that had blown across the track throwing the engine baggage and express cars from the track. The engineer was the only person injured. The road was blocked for several hours.’

The Experience of a Cumberland Valley Railroad Crew
Got Protection in a Store-Box
Brakeman Moore Was Left Behind and Then Came Back to Hagerstown, Clearing Poles From the Track.
A number of Cumberland Valley Railroad trainmen got together in Chambersburg, says the Valley Spirit, and commenced relating their experience in the terrible and disastrous storm on last Friday night.
The furious wind blew down 18 telegraph poles between Hagerstown and Greencastle. When near Maugansville near State Line, one of these falling poles struck the headlight of locomotive 23, tore it from the iron horse and missed hitting fireman Robert H. Moore by only an inch or two. The locomotive, on which Bruce Elder was engineman, was immediately stopped, as it could not be run ahead without a light to show the condition of the track.
Conductor J.H. Fosnot and brakeman William Edmondson of the passenger train the locomotive was taking from Hagerstown went ahead with lanterns. W.E. Foltz, of the Car Record office, who had been running on the Winchester branch during the week and was ‘dead heading it’ home, volunteered to assist them while brakeman Clifford Moore was sent back to flag an approaching train.
With lanterns and axes the three men walked ahead of the train on the track and cleared it of a number of fallen telegraph poles. Four miles they this walked and worked until they reached Long’s station. The rain poured down upon them, wetting them to the flesh and ruining their clothing.
When the track was cleared a search was made for flagman Moore, but he could not be found and the train went back to Chambersburg, reaching there several hours late. Afterward Moore was discovered by the late train south endeavoring to obtain protection from the terrific storm in a store box at Maugansville. He flagged the train and was taken aboard and carried to Hagerstown.
That run (part of it might properly be termed a walk) will not soon be forgotten by the railroaders who acted as headlight and wrecking crew at one and the same time.
Annanias still lives [meaning dishonest journalism/false news reporting on the part of the Frederick News]. He has a position on the Frederick News, but during the storm Friday night he was carried to Carlisle, being so light. At that place he wired the following message to the United Press.
‘During the terrific rain and wind storm that swept through the Cumberland valley Saturday morning early the New Orleans express of the Cumberland Valley railroad, while approaching Maugansville station, near Hagerstown, struck a telegraph pole that had blown across the track throwing the engine baggage and express cars from the track. The engineer was the only person injured. The road was blocked for several hours.’
The whole thing from beginning to end is false."

Harrisburg Gentlemen Banqueted by Hagerstown Brethren.
A large delegation of gentlemen, members of the Masonic fraternity of this city, paid a visit to Hagerstown, Md., last evening. The party left on the afternoon train over the Cumberland Valley road, arriving at the pretty Maryland city at a reasonable hour. They were met by a committee of Friendship Lodge, No. 84, F. and A.M., who cared for them in the most courteous manner. The visitors enjoyed meeting their Hagerstown brethren in the lodge room, where eloquence and friendly greetings were profusely displayed and appreciated most heartily. The Harrisburgers were more completely surprised when they were invited to the Hotel Hamilton, the most famous of all hostleries between the Hudson and the James, where a sumptuous banquet was spread, and to which they were asked to sit down and partake of. Again did eloquence resume its flow and cheering welcomes re-echo throughout the banquet hall. The feast was a magnificent triumph of culinary art and did great credit to the gentlemen in charge. The visitors, in addition to the splendid entertainment afforded them by their hosts, are loud in their praise of ye generous landlord, Mr. Charles Webb, of J., to whom with his clever assistants, is due much of the pleasure enjoyed during the brief aftermath. Hotel Hamitlon and Landlord Webb will long be retained in the memories of the Harrisburgers. The visitors party comprising Messrs. Shope, Keener, Tomlinson, Wm. R. Denehey, Lewis C. Randall, J.
