April, 1877, but one of them. H. r. Boil
les, gave up his train in 1894, to take
the position of train master on the
New England railroad, under the su-
perintendency of Joseph King, formerly
a conductor on the Syracuse and Bing-
hamton division of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western.
The oldest of these three conductors
is Edward Maghran, who commenced
railway life in 1860 on this road as
brakeman on coal trains. In the fall
of 1862 he was promoted to the position
of conductor on train of that class.
In those days (war times) men We're
rapidly promoted and were made con-
ductors then in shorter time than it
takes man today to get a first class
job as brakeman.
A strange accident happened to Con-
ductor Maghran's train at Water Gap
in the fall of 1867. On a dark and
stormy night. his train broke in two
about mile east of Water Gap station,
the engineer. with the head end of the
train, running quite distance before
discovering his loss.
Missing the caboose he stopped sent
a man back. then backing up to the
rest of the train coupled on and pro-
ceeded.
The next morning at Hampton juno
tion Maghran was asked by the agent
as to the whereabouts of one of his
coal cars. You are short car so and
so,' said the agent, giving the num-
Der. Maghran was dumbfounded, as
he knew it was in the train, for he had
seen it and had checked the number
upon the bill
The mystery was solved the next day
The car was found where they had
broke in two at Water Gap partly
down the bank and nicely clearing the
track. The car had evidently got tired
of its company, so off the track 1t went
and over the rail then down the bank,
clearing the rest of the train. No one
noticed 1t or detected its absence from
the train.
In April, 1877. Conductor Maghran
in recognition of his past faithful SER
vice was promoted to the position Of
passenger conductor on Train 526, run
ming between Bnghamton and Hobo
ken, and has been, within few
months, twenty years on that run. a
longer time on one run, 1t Is safe to
say, than any other conductor in this
country; and this without an accident
to his train through any fault or mis-
management upon his part.
Conductor Maghran is now in the
prime or life and doubtless will be able
to punch tickets" for man. years to
come. He is pleasantly situated with
his family, consisting Of his wife and
six children. in a cozy home on Murray
street, Binghamton. and finds in that
home after his journey Is ended his
chief enjoyment with those who make
life source of happiness 10 him.
At the meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Pennsylvania Railroad, held
on Wednesday, the following appoint
ments were approved: Almet T.. Reed,
from superintendent Sunbury division
to superintendent Altoona division, to
fill vacancy caused by death of Robert
F.. Marshall; w. B. McCale. from SUI
perintendent Bedford division to SUPER
intendent Sunbury division. and F. p.
Abercrombie from assistant engineer,
Eastern and Susquehanna division, to
superintendent Bedford division.

RAILROAD NOTES.

Few of the many railroad corpora
tions can show list Of men longer In
actual service than can the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company.
Very little change has been made up
on that road in many years, either in
management or its men: and veterans
who have served SO faithfully almost
from its infancy to its present day can
point with honest pride to their many
years of service.
In April. 1897. three conductors of
this system, Edward Maghran. Chris.
Beavers and ]. Z. Dekay will have
completed twenty years in continuous
service as passenger conductors. There

Education In Germany.

Statistics of the proportion Of the

and other higher educational institu-
tons in Germany have, says cur Berlin
correspondent, just been Published. Ev-
cry 10, Protestants III the empire
send so students TO these high schools,
every 10000 Roman Catholics 32, the
same number of dissenters and eectaries
send 40 and every 10, 900 Jews send the
remarkable number Of 1888. In Prussia
the proportions Of Protestants, Catho-
lies and Jews are respectively as, %
and 333. In Roman Catholic Bavaria
the proportion is ca, AZ and $50; in
WurtteInboTg, s., 53 and 500; in Ba.
den, Ga, II and All, and in Saxpny, 40,
90 and 357. These figures testify to the
extreme value set on university educa-

Wood or Metal Cars.

The relative merits Of wood and met.
al caIs have been widely discussed in
railway circles, but 10 experiments have
been made in this country. The Prus.
sian government has, however, been
giving attention to this matter, with
some very interesting results. It ap-
pears that strict and minute accounts of
the two sorts of cars have been kept,
from which it appears that the metal
cars are more liable to accident, and
when anything happens to them they
are much more seriously damaged than
those that are built of wood When the
latter meet with slight mishaps, almost
any car machinist can put them in or.
der. Metal cars must be carried to the
great shops. which is no small expense,
especially if the brcakags is extensive.
