Z. L. Postlethwaite, Assistant
to President Rea, Stricken;
Former Harrisburger

Philadelphia, Nov. 15.-Edward #.
Postlethwaite, assistant to the presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and one of the bestrknown railway
executives in the country, died in II
hospital late last night of apoplexy.
He. was stricken ten days ago. He
was 81 years old and for many years
was resident of Harrisburg.
Mr.. Postlethwaite entered the serv-
ice of the company in 1863 and be-
came assistant to the president in

of the time in Washington.
Resident of Harrisburg

raphy and shorthand. and later
closed up business and worked for
the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
Company. Subsequently he became
Il
q special writer for number of
newspapers.
While doing legislative work he
became acquainted with the late
Frank Thomson, former Pennsyl-
vania Railroad president. who was at
that time general superintendent,
with headquarters at Altoona. Ste-
nographers were a scarce article, and
Mr.. Postlethwaite was given posi-
ton as secretary to Mr.. Thomson.

From that time on he was asso-
ciated with Mr.. Thomson in every
position and later when Frank Thom-
son was made president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, Postlethwaite be-
come assistant to the president. He
held this position up to the time of
his death, having been reappointed
by subsequent presidents of the
Pennsylvania company. His principal
duties were in looking after mail ia
cilities, and he brought about many
changes in the handling of the malls.
Mr.. Postlethwaite was a native of
Mount Union and married Miss Eliza
Denning, of this city, daughter OF
the late James and Caroline Denning,
who resided in Market street near
Fifth. Mrs. Postlethwaite survives
her husband.

In the campaign for the conser-
vation of coal on the Middle division
of the Pennsylvania railroad, N. w.
Smith, superintendent, is pursuing a
unique and interesting plan. Both
firemen and engineers are writing
their own opinions as to how coal
may be saved and there is an in
teresting rivalry in evidence as to the
least number of shovels of coal nee
essary between Harrisburg and AL
toona.
According to records on file, Pas
senger Engineer Grafton Drake with
w. d. Bowers as fireman, the latter
now freight engineer, held the rec
ord up to yesterday. Between AL
toona and Harrisburg a total of PAS
shovels of coal were used. On one
section, a distance of forty eight
miles, and another sixty -four miles,
were covered without the use of
any coax
New Figures
Yesterday Engineer Drake with P.
L. Smith as fireman hung up a new
record. On an eastbound run, they
covered the distance, 1872 miles, us
ing but PA showels of coal. This is
new record and will be filed with
Superintendent Smith tomorrow.
In making this record a fire was
built in the engine, three stops made
and four slowups recorded. Those
who understand running an engine
know what stopping and slowing up
means to a fireman. Each shovel
full of coal weighs seventeen pounds,
it is said. This means that a total
of S,63S punds of coal were used
between Altoona and Harrisburg
Both tEngineer Drake and Fireman
Smith have prepared interesting arti-
cles on coal saving, and anXiously
await other records.
