First Locomotive Trip in America.

Engineer Horatio Allen, In an article

1899, he superintendent the transfer OF q

from boat or the Delaware aud Hudson
canal. to track prepared for 1t at Homes
dale. Pennsylvania, and ran the locomotive
three miles and back, over rails OF wood
upon which bar iron 2 l inches wide and
half an inch thick was spiked down. II has

Carolina railroad, from Charleston to the
Savannah river, at Augusts, Gsor'
gie. was entitled to Sthe credi,
OF rrecederce in the matter, but Mr.. AL.

September. 1920. To the South Carolina
railroad company, however, the honor must
be awarded Of being the first to adopt loco

Judge Hickerson Barksdale was born in
Wilson county, Tennessee, now Trousdale
county, which was cut off Of Wilson In 1870,
and was about 45 years Of age at the time Of
brothers and one sister. His brother,
W. 81. Barksdale, was very distinguished
and eloquent lawyer, and died In 1870. Two
brothers, Thomas and Abner, were killed

district BY Governor Coke. and declined 2
reelection under the Constitution Of 1875.
whom Judge Burford, the uncle OF his wife
and his former partner. was elected to sue
cssd him. At q very early age-indeed be-
Sore bis msjority-Judge Barksdals was
married to MISS Annie Cauley. To them
seven children were born-John, Hover

Annie, now Mrs Lswdsr, Nat, Abner and
