REWARDED FOR PAST SERVICES.
]. T. Wisenburg, the trusty messenger of
Wells, Fargo & Co.. who contended with so
many hsrdships and ran many risks of his
life when carrying express through the
among all grades of toughs and
hard cases-men who would not hesitate
;or a moment TO knock man in the head
or put hole through him if they thought
hat they could get away-is now daily
riding over the same ground where he ex-
perienced so much wild and hazardous ex-
element in a comfortable express car. A
ew of the old-timers that are still here
will remember him as "Bnckskin joe as
be was then called. Those days he wore .
iull suit of buckskin, with pair of huge
-evolvers and long bowie knife In
MS belt at all times. Every day, through
sunshine, rain and snow, one could see
Buckskin Joe, seated on q dead-ax wagon,
olting over the rough road, with short
shotgun across his knees
and determed look in his face, peering In
every direction.
REMARKABLE RUNS.
A remarkable run was made the other
lay by a New York newspaper special
rain. The train consisted of the engine
and one car. No stops were made after
leaving New York at 4:30 until New Haven
vas reached, seventy-nine r.inutes later.
The distance is 733 miles. A hindrance
by the slipping of an eccentric.
The best previous time was 1:5O, with en-
zine No 123 and five drawing room cars,
n charge of the same engineer. People
could h=rdly believe their ears" says the
Bridgeport Standard, "when newsboys began
o cry New York papers before 6 O'Clock.
1t the news offices crowd of inquirers
sked all sorts of curious questions, such
IS, "Did you see the srain?" How did you
et YOUR packsge?" "Wonder il wasn't pull
erized when thrown of the carp A Fair
eld man said he heard the whistle, but
e couldn't see the train. Another, whose
yesight was better, saw the cloud of dust
nd smoke" The run is considered as al
nOst marvellous.
Another quick run is chronicled by the
Journal, which says: "a
pecisl train made the run from New York
D this city by the Lake Shore line yester-
ay morning in two minutes less than four
ours, including stops. This is probably
he quickest run made from New York
asst, and suggests that the running time of
he fast through trains may be further re-
need, to the benefit of both travellers and
he mails.
