The Oldest Railway Conductor in the
United States.
Philadelphia Record.


Philadelphia Record.
Conductor William Coulter, who
uns the fast morning express between
New York and Philadelphia, on the
Pennsylvania railroad, has been a
railroad passenger conductor for near
ly half q century, and Is the oldest
conductor In point of active service In
the United States. He began rail-
roading when there wore but three
railroads In the country-ope in South
Carolina, one near New York City,
and the old New Castle French.
town road, on the route between this
city and Baltimore. He was one of
the first conductors of the old
New Jersey Transportation company,
taking charge of his first train,
which ran between Newark and
jersey City, In 1s49. For seven
years he was In charge of trains be.
tween those two cities. In 1S47 ne
was promoted and became conductor
of trains between Jersey City and
New Brunswick. The road at that
time was not built through to Phila.
delphia. Mr.. Coulter has still in his
possession the schedule OF time fur.
nished him In 1S47, when he was
placed In cherge of the New Bruns-
wick train. 1t Is a written time table,
showing that the trains were to leave
New York at 9 o'clock In the morn
ing and arrive at New Brunswick In
one hour and forty minutes. To-day
trains run through to Philad ,lphia In
almost as short . time.
"Railroading In those days, said
Mr.. Coulter yesterday, "was not so
comfortable Q business for the cor.
ductors as It 10 now. We were com.
PEELED to assist In breaking, help the
baggage.msster and not unfrequently
lead a fight against the roughs who
insisted upon riding for nothing. In
place of the splendidly upholstered
saloon cars 10Y In use connected with
the engine by . b~ell-rope, and with
patent steam brakes, we ran oompart-
ment cars, after the English fashion
of to-day, with the passengers facing
each other. There we're no cushions
nor any backs to the seats. He says
that less than three hundred passen.
gers daily constituted the entire
through traffic In 1847. During the
forty three years he has been a con.
duotor, Mr.. Oonlter has ridden not
less than l. 800, 600 miles In New
Jersey, and hundreds of thousands
more In Pennsylvania, and has at
tended to the numerous wants of over
1000, 600 passengers. While he was
on the Jersey City and Newark trains
he ran 100, 900 times between the two
cities. For twenty-five years his
average run per day was 1913 miles,
and he now averages 1S2 miles per
day.
Mr.. Coulter looks as If he were
good for twenty years more of service,
although he Is nearly seventy years
old.

Tragedy In q Bridal chamber,

Montevideo Razon.
A horrible affair took place recently
at Rio Grsnde del Sur, lei the Uru.
guaysn frontier. A young farmer was
bitten by a mad dog, and the remedies
were immediately applied to the
wound, Capitalization was resorted
to, and there was every reason to be-
lieve that the virus had not entered
the Victims system. When the acct
dent occurred the young man was
about to marry, but In consequence of
the unto ward occurrence the ceremony
was postponed for three months, when
the medical men who were consulted
on the case gave 1t as their opinion
that there was not the slightest ground
for experimenting any dagger from the
bite. The marriage took place on the
farm, and was celebrated with the
customary festivities. After the
