PFomluSut Railroad Contractor Dead'
BELLEFoNTE, Pa. Sept. 25-
Thoms Collins, the last but one of the
once widely known firm Of railroad con-
tractors, Collins Bros. died to-day, at
his home In this city, aged seventy
five years. He had been III TOR the past
year ur two, and was conYalescent from
an attack Of typhoid fever, when gan
creme set IN, and caused death.
The firm OF Collins Bros. OF which
Thomas Collins was the ruling spirit,
Is said to have built hundreds OF miles
OF railroads more than any other firm
in the world. It was composed OF six
brothers, born OF poor parents, and with
but few educational opportunities. Their
6rst operation was the old Portage road,
built for the Pennsylvania rallruad, In
iSIS, and for many years the Collins
dij all the work for that company. The
business rapidly increased, and roads
we're constructed for the Philadelphia
q Reading, Lehigh Valley, Jersey Cen
tral and other companies. During its
carer the firm made and lost several
fortunes, and the brothers, especially
ThMnas, won praise by the spirit with
which they went to work to retrieve
their losses.
