of his way of life, to the Herald of Health,

A GIGANTIC IMPROVEMENT.
First American Train Run by Telegram

THss Ah0rAcan Afaih kseh oy tcieEraTn.
In 1850 the Erie road was in operation
between Piermont and ElmirG. The
track was single one such thing as :,
double track was then unknown in the
country.
Two years before, after much discus
sion and opposition, q telegraph wire had
been put up along tho line. Scperintcn-
dent Minot, who was a man a long way
In advance of the times, was a strong
believer in the practicability of tho tele-
graph as facilitator of transportation
on railroads.
In the summer OF 1850 he was n pas
senger one day on westbound train over
his road. The train he was on, according
to the printed timetable. was to meet
through train from the West at Turner's
Station. forty-seven miles from New
York.
When Mr.. Minots train reached Tur-
ners, he learned that the eastbound train
was six hours late, owing to some mis-
hap. Under the system of railroading
then governing employees the we5tbound
train had to remain at Turner's until the
delayed train had passed the station. In
fact, the whole business of the road from
there west was at a standstill owing to
the non-arrival of the train at tho differ
ent stations where other trains were
awaiting 1t.
Superintendent Minot saw at once how
ridiculous such a system was~ There
was telegraph Office at Turner's and it
was then the only ono between that sta
tion and Jersey City. Tho Superinten-
dent went to the Office and made the
operators hair stand by sending mos
sage to the station agent at Port Jervis
that no intended to run the train he was
on from Turner's to Port Jeryis on the
time of the belated eastbound train. He
ordered the agent not to let any train
leave that station going East until the
train he was on arrived there. He also
ordered tho agent to telegraph to him
how no understood tho message.
The answer was satisfactory, and tho
Superintendent went to the conductor of
the train and told him to start on with
his train. The conductor refused to do
SO, and the Superintendent discharged
him on the spot.
Minot then ordered the engineer to
pull out. The engineer said that he
would not take the risk, and in the argu-
ment thai followed the Superintendent
dragged the engineer from tho cab, gayo
him an elegant dressing out, and mounted
tho foot-board himself.
He ran the train to Port Jervis and
sent 1t on West as far as Narrowsburg
before 1t met the late train. thus saving
the passengers five hours, and settling
forever the question of the accuracy OF
the telegraph in running railroad trains.
