First Trip OF the First Locomotive in Amer
lea.

William Wurts, ESD, of Carbondale, Penn
communicates the following paragraph. clip
ped from an old newspaper, to the Carbondaie
Transcript This paragraph confirms the
statement Of r. T. Lord, Esq, published In
the Port Jervis Union, a few weeks since,
and apparently settles the question as to
whom belongs the credit of having run the
first locomotive steam engine on the Ameri-
can continent.
THE TRIAL TRIP OF TIE F1RsT LOCOMOTIVE.
Major Horatio Allan, the Engineer Of the
New York and Erie Railroad, III speech
male during the recent festival occasion, gave
the following account Of the first trip made by
a locomotive on this continent.
When was it Who was it And who
awakened its energies and directed It's move
ments! It was in the year 1928, On the
banks of the Lackawanna at the commence
ment of the railroad connecting the canal Of
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company
with their coal mines-and he who addresses
you was the only person on that locomotive.
The circumstances which led to my being
alone on the engine, were these. The road
had been built in the summer, the structure
was OF heml0ck timber and rails of large di-
mensions notched on caps placed far apart.
The timber had cracked aud warped from ex-
posure to the sun. after about three hun
dred feet of straight line the road crossed the
Laclawapna Greek, on trestle work about 80
feet high with d curve Of $50 to 400 feet radi-
US. The impression was very general that
this iron monster would either break down
Che road, or that 1t would leave the track at
the curve and plunge into the creek. My
reply to such apprehensions was that 1t was
too late to consider the probability of such oc-
currences, there was no other course than to
have a trial made of the strange animal, which
had been bronght here at great expense but
that it was not necessary that more than one
should be involved IN its fate that I would
take the first ride alone, and the time would
come when I should look back 10 the
incident with great interest.
As placed my haud on the throttle valve
handle, | was undecided whether [ would
move slowly or with fair degree ef speed,
but believing that the road would prove safe
and preferring, if we did 90 down, to &c
! handsomely ana without any evidence Of IL
nIidity, I started with considerable velocity,
/ passed the curve over the creek safely, and
was soon out Of hearing Of the cheers Of the vast
! assemblage. 1t the end OF two or three miles
I reversed the valve, and returned without ac-
cident to She place of starting, having thu:
made the first railroad trip by locomotive on
! the Western Hemisphere.

G Boy Supposed TO have been Killed by his
CWn Fa.her and Brother.

Intense excitement was created In the city
yesterday morning by the intelligence that a
boy had been found dead in his bed, under
circumstances which led to the suspicion that
he had been killed by the violence Of his rel
atives, during state Of intoxication. The
boys name was Carey, aged thirteen years
and his parents, Thomas and Mary Caey.
have frequently been before our police court
for drunkenness and disorder. They resided
in Spring street From the evidence given
below, the Coronor's jury returned a verdict
in accordance with the suspicion mentioIed
above. It appears that on Wednesday night
his father, mother, and brother had INDUCED
in a drunken orgy; yesterday morning the
boy was found dead on pallet, laid on The
floor, (where his father and brother had alse
slept in the corner Of Il room, the only apart
ment occupied by the family, where they lv-
ed in squalor and wretchedness. His head
and body were covered with bruises Near
his bed, and about his height above the floor,
was an indentation in the wall, apparently
made by his head, as if it had been violently
jammed there. 1t seems quite probable also
that he had fallen down stairs, but whether
accidentally or by being pushed, IS doubtful :;
the physicians however, who examined the
body, testified that his death-was not caused
by the injuries so received. Coroner Downie
was called III the morning, and DR.. j =.
Coleman having been summoned to make an
examination, jury was empanolled, and the
inquest adjourned TO permit this to be done.
After hearing the testimony, the jury render
ed the following verdict That John Carey,
the deceased came TO his death from injuries
received at the hands of Thomas and William
Carey, IN manner unknown to the jury

arrived home few days since. Shortly after
the General reached Washington city, Isaac
expressed great desire to return home to
Mississippi. Upon being pressed for his rea-
sons for so sudden a wish, he told his master
that he had been repeatedly beset by two
white men from Boston, who urged him to
accept their aid to run from his master. He
stated that he was afraid that he would be kid
napped into freedom, as he believed the two
men were capable of any atrocity. The
General gave Isaac a pass, with which he
