farm near Gray's Ferry. but sped on
over the bridge and did not deign to
bring his engine to q stop until Blue
Bell station. on the south side Of the
Schuylkili. had been reached. Then
he demanded TO know OF Wolf why he
had been Jerking that log all about the

Wolf hotly declared that he had sig.

he would stop when and where he

alteration grew very heated, and Wolf
invited the engineer from the cab toI
settle the matter, and the challenge
was quickly accepted.

perior artist with his fists and with
a few blows made It almost impossible
for the engineer to see sufficiently to
complete his run. but Fogg admitted
that he had been fairly beaten, and the
supremacy Of the conductor on a train
was settled for all time.
AS the log signal was crude and In.
effective, Wolf devised the use Of
bell on the locomotive, and this method
was soon adopted by oil of the Amer
lean railroads. Then code OF sig.

to this day. The only

THE TRAIN BELL ROPE.
How II and the Conductors Supremacy
Came 10 Be Established.

Came TO Be Established.
Although there does not seem to be
anything In common between pugilIsm
and railroad rules, yet the adoption OF
the familiar bell rope that stretches
through every car OF the modern train
! was the result Of lstlc encounter. At
he same time and by the issue Of tho
same combat the supremacy of the con-
iuctor in railroad travel was ordained.
II was Philadelphia which gave both
to the world.
One OF the oldest railroads In the
country Is the Philadelphia, Whining
Ten and Baltimore, now known as the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing.
ton, which was opened In 1887. The
terminus In Philadelphia was ut Brond
and Prime streets Prime street now
being known as Washington avenue
and after crossing the Schuylklll river
at Grays Ferry the route ran along the
Delaware river on what Is now the
Chester line OF the Reading railway.
The first schedule contained one pas.
scnger train, which went to Baltimore
one day and came back the next, which
was considered a remarkable feat In
rapid travel When train day each
way was placed In service the people
OF the two cities served concluded that
the acme Of convenience in transporta.
ton had been reached.
Next to the president of the railroad
the most important functlonaries were
the engineer and conductor. 1t was a
question whether or not the head Of
the line was not considered q subsldl-
airy officer In popular estimation to the
men who ran the train, but Robert
Fogg, who pulled the throttle, and
John Wolf, who collected fares, won
the Difference OF the public because Of
their high and responsible duties.
Fogg an Engllshman, had all the
tenacty Of opinion Of his race. Wolf,
nm American, had the ingenuity Of the
Yankee and, seeing the need of some
method by which he could commune
cate with the engineer, devised the
scheme Of running cord through the
cars to the locomotive. AS the engine
was wood burner, Wolf fastened one
end of the cord to q log, which was
placed on the engineers seat and was
pulled to the floor when the conductor
desired to signal for stop.
Fogg resented what he considered an
interference with his rights on the
platform Of the locomotive and on the
first run out from Broad and Prime
streets with the new device paid no
heed to the displacement OF the log
from the seat when the conductor DE-
