PETER oooPER,s LOCOMOTIVE.

The late Peter Cooper built, after his
own designs, the first locomotive engine
constructed on this continent. The
experimental trip with it was made
during the year 1880. The first diyi-
sion Of the Baltimoreand Ohio railroad,
from Baltimore to Ellicott's Mills, had
but recently been finished and trains'
were making regular trips on it. The
g trains'' consisted each Of clapboard
shanty on wheels, called an g improved
carr and were drawn by one horse.
They usually made from seven to eight
miles an hour. The cars were about
twelve feet long, had three windows on
either side, boards running lengthways
for seats and q long deal table in the
centre. The driver sat on an elevated
seat in front and the conductor stood
upon the steps in the rear. About this
period steam made its appearance on
the Liverpool and Manchester railroad
in England, and attracted attention in
this country. But it was generally be
lieved here that the steam locomotive
would prove utterly impTacticabIe on a
crooked road like the Baltimore and
Ohio. The English road was laid
nearly straight. There was ohe man,
however, who was convinced that steam
locomotives could be used on curved
roads as well as on straight ones, and
that man was Peter Cooper. He de-
cided to test his faith at Baltimore,
and got permission Of the directors Of
the Baltimore and Ohio to run his en-
CINE a trial trip on their road. a
writer describes his locomotive as an
g odd-looking contrivance which boy
Of the present generation would hardly
consider worthy Of the name Of me
chanical toy. The boiler was not as
large as that Of range in the kitchen
of a modern house, and the smoke
stack looked like an aggravated oil
can.'' This locomotive drew the first
passenger car ever propelled by steam
upon any railroad. The car, which re-
sembled an ordinary row boat on four
wheels. was filled with the officers and
directors Of the road and their friends.
Some of them would just as leave have
been at home, probably, and they
watched Peter Cooper with much trep-
idation as he pulled the throttle valve.
The trip was an exciting one. When
the speed Of fifteen miles per hour was
reached the passengers could compare
it to nothing they could think Of but
chain lightning, and when it was in
creased to eighteen miles per hour they
wanted Peter to stop the machine and
let them out. One Of the most exciting
incidents Of the trip was race with a
horse which happened to appear near
the track. For while it was hard to
tell which was going to beat, and bets
were even, when the band flew off the
fiy-wheel Of the locomotive, and the
horse disappeared around the curve, an
easy. and no doubt, proud winner.

neer, in attempting to right matters,

This is probably the first railroad cas-
ualty to be recorded in history. The
return trip Of thirteen miles was made
in fifty-seven minutes, and the date,
August %, Of the year 1880, was never
afterwards forgotten by the partici-
pants in the excursion. No doubt
Peter Cooper was the last survivor Of
this memorable excursion, the first by
