DAYS OF REST
FOR COL. BRISON

After a service of fifty-four years
with the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, Colonel Thomas b. Brison, of
No. 1903 West Seventh street, will re-
tire at the end OF the present month
and will draw one Of the largest PEN
sions ever paid by the company.
Mr.. Brison was 20 years old yes
terday, the age fixed by the company
at which all employees must retire, but
be will be retained as station master
at French street station until the end
of the month. The company pays it's
employees pensions based on the term
Of years they have been in its employ
before reaching the retirmept age,
and as Mr.. Brison has been Working
for the railroad fifty-four years he
will receive monthly 81 per cent. of
salary he is now receiving.
Mr.. Brison is president of the Bris-
on Plumbing and Heating Company, at
No. 103 West Seventh street, and it
Is his intention to devote his time TO
the affairs of that firm.
When Mr.. Brison entered the en-
ploy of the Pennsylvania railroad he
was sixteen years old. The company
was then the p, w. and B. railroad
and shortly aterward Il was pur-
chased by the Pennsylvania sytem. He
entered the shops as an apprentice.
AT the age Of 20 years he became a
conductor on the road and served In
that capacity during the Civil War.
II was during that conflict he had
most of his thrilling experiences. In
1853 he was In charge Of the special
/ train that took General Grant down
as far as Baltimore, whore the latter
took command of the Army of Poto-
mac. On June II 1864, his train was
attacked through Baltimore by Major
/ Gilmore's guerillas, the crew driven
from the train, and the cars oiled and
] fired on Gunpowder bridge, at Mag
nolia II was the intention of the
guerillas to put a stop to the trans
portatlon of troops by way OF Balti-
more by destroying the railroad, but
the battle of Gettysburg few days
later cut short this mission.
In the early part of 1861 Colonel
Brison was a brakeman on the train
that transported the Philadelphia
regiment under Colonel Smalley,
which was attacked by a mob in
Baltimore, before II was either uni
formed or armed
Colonel Brison spent seventeen
years as foreman OF the wreck crew
The past nineteen years he has been
stationmaster and during that time
made the acquaintance of a large
number Of people. He enjoys the dis.
tinction of being probably the best
known man in Wilmington
