How Philadelphia Greeted First
Railroad Cars on Afternoon
Of April IS, 1884. ~ 7
CONSIDERED As great Joke lk|EI:
Took Six Years Of Agitation to Con-
struet Track Between coiunabia

Ready to Rescue. ,.,

Adelphia arrived AT the head Of the
Echuylkill incline plane'at 1880 O'Clock
en the afternoon Of April 16, 1884, Of
Ter IN eight-and-a-half-hour trip from
Lancaster. Everybody laughed at this
nine days wonder, SO sure to be. fail
2re. It had taken SIX years Of agita-
Ion to provide the construction of q
angle track between Columbia and
Philadelphia, to connect this city with
The canal ut the former place. So lit
9e confidence had the managers In the
endurance of the locomotive that an
Empty h~orsecar followed the train with
relays OF horses at different points to
rescue the party In case the locomotive
ghve out. They had much difficulty
With 'Black Hawk" for that was the
locomotives name. and the passengers
zhal to get out and give 1t o healthy
push from time to time. etli
Desperate Resistance.
There had been desperate resistance
to the Introduction Of railroads
throughout the state. There was .
huge vested interest In the Conestoga
wagons. Hundreds Of six-horse teams
hauling the immense covered wagons
were constantly On the highwhys,
transporting passengers and freight
between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
and between many other points. Every
few miles along our, through turnpikes
vas found the rwagon tavern" Well
to-do farmers whose homes were on
the pike ran d tavern as q side indus
try. These inns, besides refreshinent
for travellers. had large yards. to nc
commodate the teams during the night.
It was ., thriving business, and when
the proposition to construct railways
was seriously urged the wagon drivers
and the wagon-tnvern-keepers made an
aggressive fight against the innovation,
which would deprive them Of 80. much
Of their income and their pleasure. 81
Il, Anti silroad Men. Z
Mass meetings were held along the
lines Of the tdrnpikes to protest
against railways. It was urged that
they were Of doubtful utility. Political
orators delivered h~arangues against
the injustice 81 bringing @an untried
experiment. Into vogue to ruin the
great industrial interests which cen
tered In wagon transportation" In
some Instances United States senator's
and REPRESENTATIVES, made these
speeches and were elected solely on
the strength Of being '~'anti-railroad
men," stsssa F3
But the progress of the railroad was
20 gradual that there was no sudden
and yiolent destruction Of the wagon
transportation interests. The grand
old Conestoga wagons. "prairie schoon-
err" died . slow and natural death.
But the tavern-keepers who allied
themselves with politicians to hold
back progress have maintained the nj
nance ever since the days when "BIack

COLONEL HARRIS.

Colonel Charles H. Harris. adjutant general of the state of Arizona has been asked resign Governor
