EARLY RAILROADlNG.
Summing Trains In the Days When
There Were No Schedules.

There Were No Schedules.
A most interesting relic was turned
up at Upper Sandusky some time ago
while employees at the Pennsylvania
depot We're clearing away an old case
in which had been stored u number of
records. 1t is the first book of rules
issued by the Pittsbrrg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago railway. When the book
was issued the road was 472 miles
long, but the official time card gives
the correct length now at 46S miles,
Forty-five years ago, when this book
was first given to the trainmen, the
train dispatcher was an unknown
quantity. To take his place maximum
speeds We're set forth in the rule book,
and these are decidedly interesting in
these days of seventy-five miles an
hour. 1t is said, 1.-The maximum speed
for passenger trains shall be a mile in
a minute and n half and in four min
utes over large bridges, and for freight
trains a mile in four minutes" An
other section insists that "freights
must keep out of the way of passenger
trains"
The whistle played an important
part in railroading in those days. 1t
was to be kept sounding most Of the
time. The fireman was enjoined thus
'Throwing wood from the tender
while the same is in motion is strictly
forbidden"
Another rule says that when live
stock is ahead on the track the engine
must be stopped if possible and the
live stock driven off to prevent acci-
dent. Delays caused by a careful OBJ
servance of this rule will be a good
excuse for being behind time and los
ing connections with trains on other
roads,"
If baggage was not claimed at way
stations it was ordered taken to Crest
line and stored.
The duties outlined for the conductor
would indicate that he was janitor Of
the train. He was to see that suf-
ficient number Of cars were provided,
were securely coupled together and pro-
vided with bell ropes; that they were
clean and provided with lamps trim
med, fires kindled and that the pas
sengers were comfortably seated. He
was also required to see that enough
drinking water was kept in the tanks.
that the floors were kept clean and
that the wood was not piled around
the stove.
For fear he might have some time
to loaf. the tickets were SO prepared
that he had to punch every one at
thirteen different stations along the
route. AS these stations were thirteen
to fifty miles apart, the conductor was
kept busy, at least on heavy traffic
days. Still, it was feared he might
have time hanging heavy on his hands.
and another rule was provided that re-
quired him to assist agents in loading
and unloading baggage. AS for freights,
one rule reads, "A few hours delay for
local freight is of little or no conse-
quence as compared with the interests
Of the roads patrons"
Brakemen were required to ride on
the platforms of the cars excepting in
inclement weather. Engineers were
enjoined to take up slack Of cars slow
ly, $50 as not to jar passengers or up
set freight" Watchmen, it is set forth,
''have been employed on the track at
night where the line is liable to be OBJ
structed by falling trees" = Toledo
Blade.

COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.
Hearing the Cases of Contesting Dele
cations.

The committee on credentials met imme-
diately after the adjournment of the repub-
lican convention yesterday afternoon at
Chicago, and organized by electing Senator
McCOmas of Maryland chairman and
Graeme Stewart of Chicago secretary. An
adjournment taken until O'Clock,
when a resolution was adopted that the
committee sit in continuous session until
all of the contested cases were disposed Of
The rule adopted that the hearing ON each
side should be limited to twenty-five min
utes was set aside in number of instances,
and the hearing extended to twice that
time. BY unanimous vote the committee
on credentials upheld the action of the ma
tional committee and declared the ]. Ed
ward Addicks delegation from Delaware
entitled to seats in the convention.
A hearing was granted to both sides and
the anti-Addicks faction. through it's at
torney charged that Addicks had at diff
ferent times used some $3.50. GGo to obtain
the election of his lieutenants and in the
effort to elect himself United States sem
ator Mr.. Addcks rose to q question of
personal privilege and emphatically denied
the charge. He was not permitted to make
a speech however but replied to questions
from the committee.
The fight between the contesting dele
gates-at large for Louisiana was long and
vigorous. The contest was taken up at 5
O clock, and at S:15 terminated by the de-
cision of the committee to seat all four
delegates-at-large from the lilly whites
and an equal number from the black and
tans," each delegate to have one-half of a
vote. The four lily white delegates seat
ed by the committee Pearl Wight, II.
c. Warmoth, w. j. Behan and L. F. SUIT

over are Walter l.. Cohen, Emil kuntZ,
Grant Farrar and B. N. Brown.

TERRITORIAL REPRESENTATION
Lively Debate Over the Matter in Com
mittee on Rules.

There was quite flutter in the committee
on rules and order of business, which met
after the republican convention at Chicago
adjourned yesterday afternoon, when OBJ
lection was made by some of the middle
west and eastern states over the proposed
increase of representation of Alaska in the
next national convention.
The committee selected Henry H. Bing-
ham of Pennsylvania for chairman, j. F..
Manning of Vermont as secretary and Reno
s. Harp of Maryland and ]. M. Stevens Of
Idaho as assistant secretaries. The rules Of
the last convention, as amended by the ma
tional committee. had been read. when s..
Fred Nixon of New York objected to the
amendment to the first rule, which gives as
future representation for Alaska six votes
instead of four, as at present.
He was supported in his objection by the
delegates from Delaware, Connecticut.
Pennsylvania and Minnesota. Mr. Nixon
urged that the continued Increase in votes
given to territories was simply throwing
into their hands the control Of the conven-
ton in event of close contest.
1.-THE democratic convention Of 1885, he
said, was controlled on the silver ques-
ton by the votes of the territories, and, to
my mind, 1t Is high time that we cut down
the representation in convention not only
of the territories where no electoral vote
is registered, but In such states as always
cast their electoral votes for the demo-
cratic ticket Representation In the con-
vention should in reasonable measure be
representative of the number of republican
votes cast, and these states and territories
should not out of mere sentiment be given
as many votes as states that always cast
their electoral votes for the republican can
didate.'
The Alaska member of the committee, W.
D. Grant, speaking for the amendment. said
that his territory with its great growth,
and shorn of much honor. asked the extra

President McKinleys' at Buffalo and had
been followed by thelbpresent administra-
ton in carrying out the policies of the

More time was spent! On this subject than

opponents consented to agree only when 1t
appeared that the fight might be taken into

New Type of Sailing Craft.

Deane & Son are building at Alexandria
a new type of sailing craft for parties In
this city. The new vessel is expected to
be very speedy, and unless the calculations
of her designers and builders fail she will
come up to all expectations The vessel Is
to be a sloop-rgged craft, but the novelty
in her design lays in the fact that she is
fat on the bottom, and will draw less than
a foot of water. To keep her from turning
over she will have nearly ten of lead on
her keel The new craft will be supplied
with a hollow steel mast and will have
big spread of sail. She will be ready to
put overheard early in next month.
