DEATH OF JULIUS B. HAWLEY.
 Julius B. Hawley dIed of pneumonia, last Saturday evening, at his home, aged s2 years. The funeral was attended from his late residence, Wednesday, at l o'clock, Rev MT Whipple of Tashua oti' ciating. The burial was in Mountain Grove cemetery, Bridgeport. The pail bearers were John Benedict, A. B. Cur tis,iR. B. Rockwell and stephen French. Mir Hawley was veteran engineer. ID 1S30 he worked with the civil engineers laying out tho Housatonic road from Bridgeport to New Milford, the first in this section. This section was finished ir February, 184O, and free excursion train run, which smashed serveral legs and arms, owing to the cars running away when uncoupled. MT HaWley wal one of the Hremen on the first engine (for they had two at that time on this road)
 Hank Kimball was the other. He also helped construct the line from Bridge oprt to New York, and ran the first train between these points, on December 26 lS4S. Two days later he ran the first train from New York to New Haven which was the beginning of what ia now one of the most important roads. MT
 Hawley told how once, on the old Housa' tonic, in 1842, he was snowbound fol three days'at the upper end of the line, and no one knew where he was till he got back. The telegraph and telephone were not used in those days. MT Flaw ley, his brother, Abel w. HawleY, and his brothers-in-law, Joseph, and John Clark, were all closely connected with
 the early history of the Housatonic and New Haven railroads. Sometime ago the officials of the road entertained MT Hawley at a dinner at the Murray Hotel In New York. The following story of his trip to the city Is told: He was met In Bridgeport by Ex-E lgineer Sam Rand and others, and on the way they built the r oad all over again, talking of old times.
