RAILROAD NOTES.

The new ferry boat which took the
place of the Central's boat on the ferry
between Elizabethport and New York has
been doing paying business for week
and is meeting with greater encourage
ment than the Central Railroad Com
pany's boat did. The boat is the Ousa-
tonic, of 200 tons capacity, q fast and sub
stantial steamer. Elizabethport people
say that the route is profitable to any
company that is not more deeply inter
ested in the success of railroad.
Conductor John Soden, of Newark,
who has been running one of the sea-
shore trains from New York on the Cen
put on a first class run on the main line.
He takes q train from Bound B rook
to Jersey City in the morning and
from Jersey City to Dunellen in the after
noon. Soden is deseryedly popular con-
ductor
Just previous to the departure of the
seashore express on its last trip of the
season on Tuesday of last week Conduct
or Minard Knapp and Engineer William
Bennett were notified that Captain Hop
per wanted TO see them in his office. They
were slightly puzzled by the order, bnt
went 10 the office at once and found sew
eral commuters there Captain Hopper
explained that the commuters were there
to eXpostulate against the withdrawal OF
their favorite train, and while he was ex-
planning more commuters arrived
Among them Comptroller Connelly, Silas
W. Pickering, Moses Strauss, Julius
Stapf, Il. T. Hayes, j. w. Campbell, Her
bert Knight and several others, and when
all were gathered in the office Mr. Knight
began a speech addressed to the
conductor and engineer, and ex-
pressing the satisfaction of the
commuters with the manner in
which the train had been run during the
season, and with the uniform courtesy
shown by the crew on every occasion.
At the close of the speech Mr.. knight
handed envelopes full Of crisp IS bills to
the conductor and engineer. with the
compliments of the commuters. 1t was
perfect surprise to Messrs. Knapp and
Bennett, but they both managed to ex-
press their thanks and their appreciation
OF the act. Both valued the mark of es-
TEEN of the commuters beyond any money
consideration. Every member of the
crew received purse before the train
started, aud when it did get under way
for its final trip it fairly flew over the
rails, breaking its record over certain
stretches OF the route. The crew of this
train consisted of Minard Knapp, con-
ductor; William Bennett, engineer; Wal
ter Sheridan, fireman; William Hayes,
baggage master, and Leigh Fritts, brake
