Edison Revisits
Scene of Early
Triumph in City
Creets Old Employees at Site
of Station in Pearl Street
Where New York's First
Electric Lighting Began

Thomas A. Edison visited New York
yesterday, for the first time in more
than two years. After attending a
luncheon in honor of Cardinal Mercier
at the Waldorf the inventor
returned to the scene of his early
labors.
He rode in an open automobile down
to 257 Pearl Street. the site of the
country's first underground central
lighting station. 1t was there that
Edison brought his great work to a
began the electric lighting of the city
September a, 1882.
On the thirtyffth anniversary of
this event the American Scenic and
Historic Preservation Society unveiled
a tablet of commemoration at the
Electrical Exposition of 1917. There
was a notable gathering of Edison's
early associates, city officials and men
prominent in the electrical industry,
but Edison was not there. His war
work kept him too close to his labo-
ratory.
After the exposition the tablet was
placed on the building on the site Of
the old station. When the plant was
opened the company had fifty-nine GUS
toners. There were 1884 incandescent
lamps on the system and 250-candle
power illumination cost $1.01 for a
period of four hours. To-day the
watersde stations of the New York
Edison Company supply current to
100000 customers who have 100000
lamps on the system and $50, 900
horsepower in motors. The same illu-
mination that cost more than a dollar
thirty-seven years ago now costs seven
cents.
The Pearl Street station was de-
stroyed by fire in the early ninetes
and the city's supply Of electric light
ing current was completely cut off.
But it took Mr.. Edison just eleven days
to rig up another plant and resume the
service.
Some of the employees who helped
him do this were waiting yesterday
afternoon on Pearl Street. AS soon
as Mr.. Edison stepped from his ma
chine he was surrounded by these
workers who had been with him in the
old days. Mrs. Nellie Curran, of 6S
East Twenty-seventh Street, still in the
service of the company after thirty
eight years, was among the first to
reach the inventor. II. A. Campbell,
who helped Mr.. Edison start the work
on the Pearl Street station. was an
other. The old employees gathered
around as Mr.. Edison read the tablet
and We'd with one another to shake his
hand
w. II. Meadowcroft, Mr. Edison's
secretary, introduced the employees in
turn and told of their length of SER
vice. Smilingly he greeted each one.
