T1IK FIUST KNfilNK. AND HOW IT ST.Vr.TLEI) TUT. PEOPLE. A HonctJnlo correspondent of the Phila delphia Times says: The successsul application of eteam 113 a motlvo power on railroads lias nlwaya been dated from the trial of Stephenson's "Rock et," Ericsson's "Novelty" and the "Sanspa- reiV unil the "Perseveranco" locomotives of various and fingular pattern, in Liverpool orra'heron tho Liverpo! and Manchester railway, October 14, ISii'J; whilo nsn matter of fact tho idea was demonstrated to bo iv graud success in a then wild and isolated part of the United States more than two months before tho trial above mentioned was made. On the 8th of August, 1820, the first locomotive lhat ever turned 11 driving wheel on a railroad in America was run at Honesdale, on the newly finished road that connected the Lackawanna coal fields with tide-water by way of the Delaware and Hudson Canal, This road was the first of any commercial importance ever built in this country, and brought intopractic.il use tho economical system of inclined planes nnd gravity locomotion which lias sinco been adopted by engineers wherever practicable. Up to the lime of the completion of this gravity road over tho lofty Moosic range of mountains separating the valley of the Lackawnxcn from the Lackawanna there were but twelve miles of railroad in opera tion in America. Threo miles of tiack had been laid in 1828 between lloston and the Quiticy granite beds, for the more conveni ent hauling from the quarries of tho slouo intended for tho Hunker Hill monumeut.und the coal mine at Summit Hill, Carbon cnuu" ty, Ph., was connected with the Lehigh riv cr with nine miles of railroad, ou tho in olincd plane system, operated by mule pow er, in 1S2S. The railroad over the floosie Mountain was sixteen miles in length, Car boudalo being the mine terminus and Hones dalo the eastern terminus and head of the canal. It was the result of the enterpri-o and persistent efforts ot Maurice and W'll Ham Wurlz, of Philadelphia, who were the pioneer cjal operators of tho Lackawanna Valley, having labored from 1815 in devel oping tho resources of the rrgion, in which year they made tho first attempt at introdu cing anthracite iu Philadelphia by ruuntug it on rafts frocvTie headwaters ot tho Wal leupaupack creek, thence by the LackawaX' en river to the Delaware, thence to Phila delphia, LOOKINU TOIt A MAT.KT.T. The beginning of operations in the Lehigh Valley, possessing easier and much cheaper meaus ot transportation, turned the uttcn tion of tho Wurtz brothers to New Yorkus their prospective market, and the Delaware and Ilndiou Canal and Railroad, in its day the most stupendous engineering project supported by a private corporation ever un dertaken, was the result. At the time this road was completed railroad building was just beginning to awaken interest among capitalists. The first enterprise of tho kind, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, in England, had beeu for sometime in process of construction and was approaching com pletion, Qeorge Stephenson, the father of steam locainoiives, was bringing to bear upon tho managers of tho road his most tell ing arguments in favor of the introduction of steam as tho motlvo power upon the road Ills interesting experiments with his ma chines had attracted attet tion in this couu try, and pending tho decision as to whether steam should be introduced on the Liver pool road, John It. Jervis, chief engineer ii tho construction of the Delaware and Hud- eon Canal, sent Horatio Allen, his assistant to England in 1S2S to examine into th merits of steam as applied to railroad trans portation. Mr. Allen was n young nian.but gave promise ol the brilliant career as civil engineer mat loiiuweil, llo was con vinced that Stepheuson's ijfa was destined to revolutionize all branches of commerce and, relying on his judgment, tho canal company, through Mr. Jervis, cotnmifslon ed him to purchase three locomotives fo use on tho pioneer railroad in America, STCl'IIKNSON'a "itOCKKT." Oeorge Stephenson was nt this time busy in prepariug his subsequent famous engine, tlio "Rockett," for the coming trial of steam urlcbines on the Liverpool road, tho man agomcnt having decided to adopt the power against strong onpos tion aud having olTered prices for the most successful locomotive as to speed and draught capacity. Mr. Allei was consequently unable to procure his ser vices iu the construction of the locomotives wanted In America, and he made a contract with l'oster, Rastwick A. Co., machinists, of Stourbridge, lo build the machines. Th contiact callod for engines of four tou weight, Air, Allen furnishing the drafts. In May, 1820, the ship John Jay deliver ed the first of these locomotives in New York, It was taken lo tho yard of the West Polt t Foundry, at the foot of Reach street, where Mr. Allen put the engino to gether. It was blocked up so that its wheels cleared the ground, and its machinery set in motion by steam that waf generated over flro made from anthracite coal out of the ines the cirs from which tho engine was Intended to haul. The enclne was exhibit- 1 nt tho foundry for six weeks, and was vis ited by curious thousands. It was a sin- gular looking machine, as ono who remenv hers Its appearance describes It. It had four wheels which wero connected by side rods. Vertical cylenders 011 each side of the rear end of the boiler communicated mo tion to n hugo walking beam, connected itli the fide rods of tho driving wheels by thcr long iron rods. Tho engino was lit- rally covered with reds and joints, and Its appearance was that of a hugs grasshopper. There was no cab, and the smoke-stack was mall and round, like a stove-pipe, and very high. jf Till! ENGINE AT HONESDALt Tho engine was sent up thu North river to Roundout, the tidewater termitins of the ca nal, and thcucoby canal boat to Honesdale. hero it arrived on tho 23rd of July, 1S29. It had been tho orlgual intention of the company to open tho railroad nud caual and celebrato tho running of the locomo tive on tho Fourth of July; but it was Im possible lo get the work all ready by that time. Kverything was In readiness by Au gust 8. Mr. Allen had set the locomotive p and it was on the track, ou tho compauy's coal docks. This primitive railroad track consisted of hemlock rails, eight inches by ten in thickness, placed four feet three inch es apart and spikid to hemlock ties, with a space of ten feet between them. The tim er had not bceu well scasoued and having been laid lu the Burumcr the rails wero arped and twisted out of nil regularity by tho time tho locomotive trial was to be made. Resides this, after running ou the coal docks for same distance the railroad turned westward by a curve of thcateniug radius and crossed tho Lackawaxen river on slender hemlock trestle, nearly 0110 hun dred feet in height. The locomotive, it vtas found, instead of weighing four tons, as the contract stipulated, weighed seven. When It was placed on the track tho Impression becune general lhat it was too heavy to be borne by the hemlock rails over the trestle, ml Mr. Allen, who had taken his place at the throttle to direct the movements of the first locomotive in America, was earnestly mportuned by many prominent cilzens not to attempt the trial. Mr. Allen was well nware of the great danger that attended the trial under the circumstances, but as he af terwards said, he felt that railroads wero destined tobeenmo universal in transports- ion and that locomotives would be the pow er that was to make them nseful. The pride, herefore, of having tho distinction of being theengineer who pulled the throttle and di- ectcd the energies of the first locomotivo on the omtinent of America overpowered his senso of dinger, and ho declared ho would mako tho trip, let the consequences be hat they might. THE TItlAL TrtlP. Honesdale, now 0110 of the wealthiest and handfomest boroughs iu the State, was then ut three years out of the wilderness of pine, hemlock and laurel that covered its entire site when the canal was commenced. Phil- p Hone, ex-Mayor of New York city, and a patron of tho canal enterprise, gave it its auie. Its population was but a few hun dred in 1820, but every ono of these hun dreds was out on the 8th of August to see the novel liial trip of the "Stourbridgo Lion," as the locomotive was called, from the place of its manufacture and tho picture f a fierce lion's head, painted in red, ou the front of the boiler. The entiro farming" population of the surrounding country was dsoout in firce. An ancient Queen Aune cannon had been purchased in New York to salu'o the pioneer locomotive on its trip. It was to this cannon that the dale of the trial trip was perpetuated, as there is no record of the event in any of the canal company's records. After stenniing up the locomotive, Mr. Allen ran it backward and forward along the coal dock for a fow minutes. Ho then iuvlted sooio one from the assemblage to ac company him, but no one could be induced to go. Pulling the throttle-valve open the engineer shouted "Good-by" to the crowd aud went dashing away from the village, rouud the abrupt curve and over the shak ing trestle at tho rate of fifteen miles an hour. He ran the locomotive for several miles up the track and then a bridge across it was too low to ajlinit the tall smoke stack beneath it, nnd returned to Ilonesdalo nud was met with the shouts of the populace and tho booming ot tho cannon. The first sa lute fired by the caunon was premature, and the gunner, a man named Alva Adams, had his arm blown off. He was taken to Dr. K. T. Loseo for surgical treatment. When, a few years ago, tho dato of the running of the Stourbridge lion was disputed by public prints, and the honor of running the first lo comotive was placed elsewhere, the books of Dr. Losey were hunted up. Thero the entry was found under date of Augusts, 1820, of servico rendered to Alva Adams, who was wounded, as above stated, In ono of tho ledgers of tho late Jason Torrey was also found tho entry under date of August S, 1829. "Tho locomotivo Stourbridge Lion was run to-day. Alva Adams had his arm blown off by a premature discharge of can non," This cannon did duty on all occasions of public rejoicing or patriotism iu Hones' dalo until 1877. When the news of the ac tion of the Klectoral Commission in seating Mr. Hayes was received in Honesdale tho cannon wna taken to tho summit of Irving Cliff, a high ledge east of tho village, where the Republicans intended to celebrate the occasion by firing a hundred guns. At the first discharge tho cannon was blown into no one ever found out how many pieces, for only a few fragments of the gun were ever found, RUSTINO A WAY IN A SHANTY. After the trial trip the engine was attach cd to trains of coal cars aud handled them satisfactorily on the docks, liut, while tho locomotive was a succcess as a loeomotive, the railroad was of too slight construction to enable It to be used, J he expeufo of adapt ing it to the weight of the locomotive being too great to bo considcrered for a moment at that early day, and in the straitened llnan clal condition of the company, the "Stour bridge Lion" was placed in a shanty on the dock, where it lay for years a prey to neglect and decay, Its boiler was finally taken to Carbondale, whero it has been in constant use in a foundry ever since aud is good to day. The pump was taken by a "boas" on the coal docks who afterwards became Judge John Kelly, one ol IIonsdale's best nnd most prominent citlretn, dying a short time ngo aud was used by him for n long time, belug finally carried away In a freshet lu the Lackawaxen, Tho rest of the ma chine, with the exception of ono or two small parts now In existenco as relic, was broken up and sold for old Iron treat ment that was but llttlo better than sacril ege. The other two locomotives shared the samo fate, one being brought to Honesdale and tho other being disposed of at Iloitod out. John U. Jervis, who ordered the first lo comotivo in America to be mnde.Sand Hora tio Allen, who saw tho order carried out and who ran tho pioneer locomotive, are both living yet, the ono nt Rome, N, Y., over four score years old, and tho other nt Orange, N.

Mr. Garfield was, like Illnlno nnd Colfax, badly smlrcho J by the Credit Mobillcr In vestigation, The Credit Mobillcr was a joint stock company founded In Paris, No vember 18, 1852. tinder tho lead of the brothers Kmile and Isaac Pereire and on tho principle of limited liability for a trans action of general banking business, to facili tate the construction of public works nnd to developlnatloual Industry. On the model of this company the title of "Credit Mobiller of America" was adopted by a joint stock com pany organized In May, 1SG3, with a capital of $2,fi00,0(i0. In January, 1809, the char ter having been purchased by a company or ganized for tho construction of the Union Pacific railroad, the Btock was Increased to $3,750,000 and afterwards rose to a great value, paying enormous dividends. In 1872, in tho courso of legal proceedings in Penn sylvania.respecting the ownership of stock, it appeared that several members of Con gres, Including James A. Garfield as well as Vice President Colfax, wero unavowed stockholders. This caused a great political scaudal, as it had often beeu held to be highly improper for a member of Congress to be pecuniarily interested in a corporation tho profits of which might bo largely and di rectly aflected by his vote on bills concern ing it. The fact that a presidential canvass was in progress, In which several of the per sons implicated took an active part, added interest and excitement to tho subject: The result was n congressional investigation in the session of 1872-3. In 1873 both tho sen ate and the house committees made reports. When the houso commltteo said In their re port that none of the congressmen implicat ed suppoed "that he was guilty of auy im propriety or even indelicacy In becoming a purchaser of the Btock," tho public read the exculpation with incredulity nnd amaze ment. The public was astonished and con founded when tho committee went on to say that "had it appeared that these gentlemen were aware of the enormous dividends upou their sto:k, and how they were earned, we could not acquit them." Tho eyldeuce had shown that five or six members of Congress, including Garfield, had owned Ciedlt Mo biller stock, that they had purchased it of Oakes Ames, had received enormous divi dends oi' It nd had resorted to subterfuge to ouceal their transactions. As Ames was judged guilty of bribery and thought to deserve expulsion (or selling the stock in this manner to these congressmen, the pub ltc could not understand how ono of the par ties to these corrupt transactions could be guilty, like Ames, and the other parties, lite Garfield, innocent. When Oakes had been ceusured by the house, February 1S73, Mr. Fernando Wood offered the following resolution: llcsohcd, That tho house absolutely con demns the conduct of Samuel Hooper and Henry L. Dawes, of Massachusetts; William D. Kelly, of Pennsylvania; Glenni W. Sco field of Pennsylvania; Jamen A. Garfield and John A. Bingham, of Ohio, members of the lloiue of Representatives, inasmuch as they become interested in the Credit Mo biller of America, a contracting company for tho construction of the Union Pacific rail road, nnd continued to be so interested at a timo when said torporatinn was dependent on tho legislation of Congress for its mainte' nnce and support. Mr. Samuel J. llandall made tho point of order tuat resolution of censure should bo confined to one individual. Tho speaker sustained the point of order and stated the reasons for the ruling. Subsequently the house, mainly by a par ty vote, relus2d to take any actum against Mr. Garfield. The New York World, ou February 2S, lSb'3, commeutiug oo this ac- tlon editorially, said: "The tenderness of the house towards its offending members is ono of tho most alarming signs of the times, It confirms the prevalent impression that great railway corporations and other monoyed cor porations are omnipotent in controlling leg islatlve boJies.tliat members of congress,like members of tho state legllslaturos, are the llling tools of great corporations which ave money enough to buy them. The most prostrattug blow ever struck at popular con fidence in legislative purity was dealt yes terday by the action of tho houso in screen, ing its members from deserving punishment. The great question of the immediate future is the emancipation of Congress and the State legislatures from the corrupting influ ence of great corporations." Ever since that time Gen. Garfield has restod under this imputation, and uo full defense to the charge has ever been made.

Cards In tho -liuslness Directory" column, on That Unfinished Hanging. Somo months ngo two women re turning from a visit to Bosnia, where their husbands are garrisoned, wero murdered In tho woods near Staab, in Hungary. The murderers wern nrrested nnd could not deny their crime,but they did not confess tbo mo tive, which is unknown to this day. One of the ruffians died In prison before the sen tence was spoken. The other was sentenced to be hung. A week ago tho execution took place, and it was carried out in public, great crowds eager for something uncommonly horrlblo surrounded the scaffold, Tho mur derer's name was Tabaks, and he belonged to tho lowest class of the country population. When the cord was already round his neck be expressed his desiro of addressing the nubile, and began saying with an emphasis worthy of an orator: "Idle willingly, but, my dear ladies and gentleman, "Hero the executor interposed and withdrew the trap d nor, so that Tabaks died in the actot speech, without knowing It, as it were, and without a struggle. The executor had been most earnestly entreated by a doctor of medicine n piofessor, to provido him for once with a warm corpse." To comply with this wish he shortened tho timo "eight minutes" for which n criminal should haug, to three, and handed the corpse over to a physician, who declared Tabaks dead. The body was spread upon a marble table In the anatomy room, and professor and students prepared for the dissection, which, had they been anything of n hurry, might have become vivisection. of n sudden thebody moved, first Its feet, and then its hand", and at last trembled violently all over. Tho professor did not loose his presence of mind, but camly sent to the authorities to ask if Tabaks was to be restored to life, or executed ngain before he nwokol In tho meantime bethought it his duty ns a human being to do ali he could to restoro the life which had so unexpectedly shown itself. After .111 h.jursbard work and inhaillng of slts, Tabaks was sufficiently recovered to understand that he had come 11 lif.i this sidi 11 f the Orcus, not the other sido as ho at first believed. Ho swallowed a plateful of s)up,uid then fell a prey to violent fever, while his neck awelied in a moit alarming manner. This was all we heard that day, besides as to vague inlormation as to tho authorities being uncertain whether the half-slain body should not bo hanged over again more thoroughly. There was a universal outcry against this. It was said that Tabaks had atoned for his crime by suffering what the officers of the law had deilared to be death. Jloro cannot be ex acted by law. No man may bo killed twice. The man's death, which took place exactly tweuty-lour hours after his cxeculiou, hap pily put an end to tho controversy, and pity for the sufferer was thn universal feeling. He had raved during the whole night, had suffered the most horrible spasams, nnd had so often attacked tho nurses that it was found necessary to tie him to his bed. The prob able consequence will bo the removal of the executor from his ugly office, which he had discharged with so little care.
