The Late William A. Al! en-,

A recent number of the Bangor Com
merciaI contained the following appro-
pirate reference to the late Chief Engi-
neer Allen of the Maine Central
No fatality in Maine for years has
caused more sad cloud to overshadow
the active business interests of the state
than the terrible accident by which Chief
Engineer Alien of the Maine Central was
hurled to his untimely death ON Saturday
SO awful OF oonseQ uences is that brief
instant of time between life teeming
with abundant impulse, and the ending
of that life, SO far as this world is with
as one moment, and then goes from US
forever.
Mr.. Allen was one of the most conspic-
uous OF the younger business men of
Maine, and unequalled in his profession.
Graduating from the State College in
1874 in the engineering department., he
became connected with the Maine Cen
trail the following year, and by virtue of
his personal qualifications and rare abili
ties in many departments of business
rose gradually. but in a few years Time
from the very lowest to the highest posit-
ion in connection with the construction
department. Of his great.sys stem. While
in his professional career Mr.. Aliens sue
cess has been p credit to his Alma Mater,
1T must be said that he owed the sturdy
and noble business qualities of make
up to long line of honorable ancestry
his father, Rev. nr. Charles f. Allen
one of the NJ 0sb noted of Maine clergy
men, having been the son Of the late Will
liam Allen, one Of the most distinguished
business men of Somerset county, gene
ratlons ago, a man of noted probity. sa-
gacIty and remarkable foresight in all
legal and business matters.
1t Was the noble, manly qualities of the
grandsire and father, developed in the
son through the aid of special education
and fitness for particular work, that
made Mr.. Allen supreme IN his profession.
1t WAS these qualities which General
Manager Tucker recognized In MIR. Allen s
business and manly character, and in his
dependence upon these qualities, Mr. Tuck
err was never disappointed in his official
In more ways than pertaiped strictly to
his special department., MIR. Allen rem
dered most valuable service to the Maine
Genital and hence his loss will not alone
cause a great vacancy in the construction
department, but as well In many other
important features of it's general admins
tration
For his true hearted and manly char
acter, in Sc cial ways and among men of
affairs throughout the state, Mr. Allen
was held in high esteem and it is beoa use
Of these qualities that his sad death
brings real sorrow TO wide circle of
representative business men all over
Maine, to whom no was we'll known.
