The election OF Theodore n. Vail to
the presidency of the Western Union
Telegraph company to take the place
of Col. Robert c. Clowry, who resigned,
furnishes a remarkable instance or
realized ambitions.
The father and mother OF Theodore
n. Vail lived at Morristown, N. j..
where they owned the Speedwell iron
works. For several years prior to 1Sio
Professor Morse had been working on
the telegraph. undiscouraged by the
remarks of friends that the scheme
was impractical and ridiculous.
In 1887 Alfred Vail, a young and am
bilious engineer. uncle of Theodore N.
Vail, came to the inventors aid. The
dot and dash alphabet. known as the
Morse code, was worked out by Alfred
Vail, and the two men were at oppo-
site ends Of the wire when the historic
message, What God hath wrought"
was sent along the line in 1874
