REST FOR VETERAN
RAILROAD MAN

Julius Dorshel. who for more than
twenty-three years has guarded the
Tatnall street crossing of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, will be retired upon
a pension on April 16. his 10th birth
day. Humble as his position with
the railroad company is. his efficiency
in it's sphere has been as high as that
of higher officials Of the railroad. and
his record has not escaped their at
tention.
Born I'm Aalon. Prussia. Mr.. Dorshel
came to this country with his father
when 20 years old. After working as
a laborer at the Harlan and Hollings-
worth plant and the Edge Moor Iron
Company, he enlisted in the Second
Delaware Regiment and took part in
the battle of Gettysburg. Here he
caught cold in his right eye and lost
it's sight. He was mustered out at
Washington in 1863, and entered the
service of the Pennsylvania Railroad
as a laborer at Glenolden, Pa. He was
sent here little more than twenty
three years ago to have charge Of the
crossing at Tatnall street.
Still hale and hearty, Mr.. Dorshel
mentions with pride the fact that he
has never had an accident at his cross
Ing. although he has seen many fatali-
ties on other parts OF the railroad be-
fore the construction Of the elevated
system. He tells of the times when
the railroad was the resort Of drunken
men. who kept the railroad men busy
taking they from dangerous places, and
laughs over the days when there was
no patrol, and when "drunks' were
taken from the railroad tracks IN NOV
ing vans and such other passing
vehicles as could be pressed into ser
vice.
The veteran crossing guard gets a
! pension of sl2 a month from the gov
! ernment, and his pension from the
railroad will permit him TO spend the
rest OF his life leisurely.
