the Russell road to Horace Withec's.
This lets the people of that vicinity out
to Skowhegan and Norridgewock much
more conveniently than by the present

to build and the people across whose
land it runs are generally willing to let

a little more than two and one.half miles
in length and the commissioners secured
settlement for land damage for the en-
tire distance for sips. Forty rods of the
former road is in the town of Skowhe-
gan and runs through woodland and the
balance of both roads is in Norridgew ock
and runs through fields and pastures

RODE ON THE FIRST ENGINE-
Which Was Ever Run in the United
States.

By the death of John TORY, in
Honesdale, Pa, recently, Otis Avery
becomes the sole survivor of those who
rode on Americas first locomotive on
the first day it ran, Aug. 5, 1929. MI.
Avery was born Aug. 10, 1908, in
Oneida County, New York. He re-
moved to Bethany, Pa, when he was
20 years of age. Later he removed to
Chenango County, New York, and still
later to New York City, whore he
learned the profession of dentistry.
Then he removed to Honesdale. He
was Associate Justice for eleven years.
retiring from the bench about ten
years ago.
Mr.. Avery says that Horatio Allen,
a civil engineer and the agent Of the.
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company,
who had gone to England to superin-
tend the construction Of the first lCco-
motive, the "Stourbridge Lion" was.
the only man to ride on the engine
upon its first run, because it was not
known whether the road was strong
enough to bear the weight of the loco
motive. Mr.. Allen ran the engine
about a mile and then returned to the
place of starting. Immediately after
its return several of those assembled
made short trips or it, but Mr.. Avery,
says that there was little inclination,
among those present to risk their lives
on board, especially as part of the dis
tance traversed was over a risky-look-
ing trestle.
The track of this first railroad was
constructed with hemlock stringers
keyed to the top of "bents," with a fiat
rail spiked to the inner edge. This
was pressed by the weight of the en-
CINE completely into the wocd. An
thracite coal was the fuel used. The
engine had no cab and no place to sit
down. He was wholly unprotected
from the weather.

freight traffic, while passenger trains
made up by y~ardmasters are moving
practically on time. On both sides of
the river all switchmen have struck
except those of the Wabash and the
st. Louis. Keokuk and Northwestern.
In all about 1000 men have gone out
in all the yards.
Indianapolis is deeply involved in the
Pullman boycott. Confusion reigns in
railroad circles and the qualifications
OF the American Railway Union have
shown themselves so numerous that no
one knows where the next outbreak
will occur.
In Sioux City all roads are practical
ly tied-up as a result of the A. r. L.
strike. Not a passenger or freight
train had LETT the city since Sunday
night. The switches in the ward were
all spiked and nothing could be moved.
The authorities who ~endeavored to
pull the spikes were driven away and
several policemen quite badly cut.
Cincinnati railroad yards are prac-
tically under martial law, so closely is
the property guarded. At the Gin
c%innati, Hamilton and Dayton espe-
cially all intruders are met by armed
men. Officers also go in and ont of the
city on every train, while rifles held
by brawny arms are to be seen on
every hand in the neighborhood of the
depots. Transfers and molders of the
city numbering several thousand Of
fered to join the strike.
AT Springfield, H.. traffic is entirely
suspended on the Wabash railroad and
two abandoned mail trains were left
standing in the depot. The trainmen
we're willing to take out the mail cars,
but the company refused to let the mail
cars 60 except in connection with the
rest of the train. The three companies
Of militia from Jacksonville, Peters
burg and Springfield which were or
dered to Decatur were delayed fifteen
hours at Springfield for the reason
that no engineers would pull the train.
There was but one train north from
Terre Haute over the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois in three days.
At the close of the fourth days
struggle between the Southern Pacific
Company and the American Railway
Union, at San Francisco, the strikers
appeared to have the upper hand.
Their blockade OF the entire system
was practically complete. The First
Regiment, United States Infantry, was
ordered out,
