 for nearly forty years had been con-

 MT. Miner had not been in good health for several years past, but was not sup posed to be in a dangerous condition. His death, therefore, was a surprise to his fellow employees. About two weeks ago he complained of feeling badly and remained home for few days. He re- newed work again last week and con- tinued until Monday,
 MT. Miner had served the railroad company in many capacities, the posi- tion which he occupied last being that of superintendent of the company's of 1 flee building. He first came to- the road as an engineer in 1855. Previous to this he had been an engineer on the Harlem River road. He was a locomotive build CT also, and after running an engine on the road for about ten years he was made assistant master mechanic at the resignation of Mir. Marcus E. Rounds, and continued to hold the position until about 1868, when Henry Kettendorf was made master mechanic and discontin- ued the position of assistant master mechanic.
 The late MT. Miner was then trans red to the train service and was made ccnductor-a position which he held until about year ago, when he was made superintendent of the office build | ing.
 Besides a widow he leaves three sons, Oscar, an engineer; William, conduc tor both employed by the Consolidated, the latter being years ago a baggage master on the road on the train then run by ex-Conductor Ward Nichols, an old and warm friend of the late Conduc- ter Miner; and Captain Fred L, Miner adjutant of one of the battalions of the Second regiment, who is with I. L. Stiles & Son, the brick manufacturers.
 The deceased was seventy years of age, and is believed to have been the oldest employe, at the time of his death, in the service of the company.
 He attended divine worship for many years at the old First Baptist church, dating back to the years when Rev. Dr. Phelps was pastor of that church. Of late years he had been identified with the interests of the Baptist church on Howard avenue, it being nearer his res idence
