There Is an old veteran" said Hon.
T. V. Powderly, yesterday. pointing to
the bob-tall switch engine "City Bank"
which was standing near the Hyde
Park crossing. twenty-five years
ago made the first repairs on that en-
gine that were ever made on her. She
was built In Paterson. and In being
brought to this city broke down Just
as she was entering the yard. She was
brought to the shops and had charge
OF repairing her." In further conversa-
tlon along the same line Mr.. Powderly
said a machiEist Of those days would
not know how to approach modern
locomotive with the purpose Of over
hauling 1t. "They are not the same
machine at ALL" said Mr.. Powderly.
While travelling in Minnesota during
his incumbency In the Office of general
master workman of the knights Of
Labor, Mr.. Powderly was aboard a
train which became stalled on account
Of a broken-dOwn engine. and to the
surprise Of those on board he donned an
overalls and jacket. and with the as
sistance of the engineer and fireman
succeeded In repairing the break, which
1t was thought would totally disable
the engine and cause the train to lay
over In the woods until a new engine
could be secured from the nearest sta
tion. Mr.. Powderly Is fond OF refer
ring TO the days when he handled a
hammer and wrench in the shops in
this city and many an amusing rem
inIscence he has to tell of those times.

structed by the Delaware. Lackawanna
and Wstern Railroad company. The
work is going on without interfering
with running the trains. nor will the
least delay, unless something unfor-
seen happens. be caused henceforth un-
til the new bridge shall be securely put
in place. Many are not aware of the
way the work is being done. The i'm
provement will make the street wider
and the bridge will be higher above the
roadway, but that does not signlfy
merely that the grade of the railroad
tracks will be raised.
The street has already been widened
several feet and the bridge that Will
replace the old structure is ready to be
swung in place at any time. The new
bridge will have its stringers above the
tracks instead of underneath as 1t now
is. The bridge can be transferred to
its position in an hour BY the END
OF the month the work will all be COM
pleted, making Mates street a THOR
oughfare of some consequence.
