OLD CONNEYANCES

The first mail-coach was started III
1854 and 1874 there was not single
mail running by road out of London.
La fact the coaching system, like those
of clipper ships and wet-plate photo
graphy, was brought to perfection
only to go down almost Immediately
before the introduction of superior
methods. the mails kept wonderful
time; 50 exact We're they that people
used to time their watches by them.
A few of the time-bills of the mails,
with their stoppages, are given.
The Bristol, the Davenport and the
Holyhead were the fastest mails out
of London, the last named doing 25941
miles in 26 hours and 50 minutes, an
average pace of little under 10 miles
an hour, including stOppages- But
the wear and tear of horsetiesh to
keep up this pace in all weathers and
against bad states of road must have
been fearful, and no wonder that the
postoffice department often had great
difficulty in getting their contracts
taken up Mr.. Horne considered that
the pace was too great, as the mails
constantly drove over people and kill
ed them. Indeed, accidents of this
kind We're common; the Beaufort
Hunt" was upset twice within a fort
night. These accidents often arose
from what Mr. Harris charitably calls
the indiscretions of the coachman;'
but whatever their cause, they were
frequently lamentable and severe.
One of the Oldest coach proprietors
made it maxim never to employ a
coachman who had not had an upset,
for the reason that without such an
experience he would not know how to
get coach up again
There can be no doubt but that
there was a great deal of reckless
driving and racing. Catastrophes
also happened through getting off the
road in fog and from collisions, and,
in addition to these causes, through
prove an equal source of danger.
Mr.. Harris enlarges on the subjects of
coachman, guards, and accidents i'll as
many entertaining chapters, and he
neatly tapers off his subject by a dis
sertation on the early days of railways.
Coaching left its mark on the railways
in several respects. The distance be
tween the rails on the narrow gauge
of railways is the same as the width
between the wheels of the old mail
coaches-viz., feet 81 inches. Even
to the present day carriages may be
seen on some of our lines painted to
resemble three coach bodies placed
end to end, which seems to have been
the original idea in the construction
of railway carriages, though it has
probably never occurred to one travel
er in one thousand, obvious as the imi-
tation is Many of the old mail
coach guards passed into the service
of the railways, and not few down
the-road" men did the same thing

A sad story.


Yesterday afternoon our reporter hal an
interview with the father of one of the
boys who was in the gang that attempted
to burn the jail last February. 1t seems
that the gentleman and hIs family had
moved from Omaha to Kansas and the
boy was left there at work. From that
time until only two weeks ago the family
knew not of the Doy's whereabouts They
had advertised in many different papers but
nothing could be heard of him. The boy
was arrested here a. vagrant and con-
fined with the others. He was the young
est of the lot and claims that he had no
part In the attempt to fire the jail. The
boys father is now working to get him
pardoned out and has got the names of a
good many of our leading citizens on his
petition, including county officials and
Others. He feels very confident that he
will succeed in getting the pardon.
