Conductor J. E. De Kay, Is one ot the best known railroad men In this vlc luty. He begun his railroad career as a brakeman on mall trains No. 1 and 2 on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Road In July, 1SC9. CONDUCTOR DE KAY. Tho passenger business of this great system was then In Its Infancy there being but one train each way daily (excepting Sunday), running from Great Bend to Hampton Junction con necting with tho Central Railroad of New Jersey for New York. During the summer months a train was run from Scranton to Hampton Junction and return. The express business of this road was carried then In one end of tho baggage car, now about twenty cars of express are handled each way dally. Among the old conductors of this mall train were A. B. Fuller, Sam Nash, L. Dudlej and L. R. Sears. Ful ler died many years ago; Nash has been In business In this city for years. Dudley Is still living In Blnghamton and L. R. Sears died December 13 last. Another old conductor, John Sllsbee, of this train lies quite 111 at present at his home In Blnghamton. Sam Dolterer, son of Davis Dolterer, at one time superintendent, was then engineer of the Colonel Scranton, a wood burner, nnd O. II. Adams, engineer of the Wil liam E. Dodge, a wood burner, on the opposite run. Dolterer died at Carbon dole some years ago and Adams still living, Is engineer on trains 3 and C, the fast trains of the Delawnre, Lacka wanna and Western. It took over seven hours In those days to run from Hampton Junction to Great Bend, 130 miles: It now takes train No. 3 ten hours to run from Hoboken to Buffalo, 40S miles. From tho one train to eight through trains dally shows tho great Increase In passenger traffic the past few years upon this system. In 1S70 this road was then opened to Blngham ton. Conductor Dudley run the first passenger train over this road with De Kay as one of his brakemen, and Edward Harris, noweud, was bag gageman. In 1S72 DeKay was promoted to a conductorshlp on trains and con tinued until 1S7C when he entered the Scranton yard as an assistant to Gar rett Bokart, then promoted to assist ant superintendent of the main line and Lackawanna nnd Blooinsburg di vision. In April, 1S77, he again com menced running on the road as con ductor on trains 7 and S, accommoda tion between Scianton and Blngham ton. There were not many passenger trains on the road at the time, conse quently this train carried many pas senger. It was a terribly slow train a3 far as Its time was concerned, but required lively hustling to get the work done, So slow In fact that a story Is told of Conductor DeKay asking an old man one day near Blnghamton for his ticket. "I gave you my ticket," said the old man. "I don't remember getting any ticket form you," said the conductor. "No wonder you don't remember get ting any ticket," growled' the old man. "When I' left Scranton I was a young man and your old train has been ho confounded slow I have grown old since I boarded It." On April 3, 1SS2, through trains were run from Elmlra over the Buffalo di vision to New York and a passenger train leaving Scrajiton at C.20 a. in. was run through to Elmlra and DeKay was promoted to the position of con ductor on this train from Blnghamton to Elmlra. This train was greeted with gieat rejoicing by the people along the line as It wns a commencement of the final opening up of a now trunk line to Buffalo, and gave many towns on the south side of tho Susquehanna river railroad facilities they had never before enjoyed. On May It, 1SS3, ho moved to Blnghamton nnd commenced running on the main line and Morris and Essex divisions from Blnghamton to New York where he yet runs. On September 8, 1893, his wife after a lingering Illness died ut Pueblo, Colo., with consumption. He has a daughter attending the university at Syracuse. On some of tho new monster freight engines built for the Baltimore & Ohio bv the Pittsburg Locomotive Works the new Bell Spark Arrestor, invented by Mr. J. Snowden Bell, has been applied. The new arrangement consists of a double perforated deflecting plate, and the deposition of the netting In a series of inclines, with no horizontal surface except a very narrow ono on each side of the exhaust pipe. It Is said that this arrangement not only prevents the es cape of no many llvo sparks, but It pre serves tho llfo of the netting, and Is, therefore, more economical and effect ive than any spark arrestor now In use on any other road, For the f.rst tlmo In ten years all the employes of the B. & O. R. R. have re ceived their monthly poy before Christ mas. This has only happened twice in twenty years. J. E. THE TRAITS OF MAJOR M'KINLEY Interesting PnCts That Throw Light Upon His Character. VERY FASTIDIOUS IN HIS DRESS Tho President. Elect Always in Por ted Health Despite Constant Ner vous Strain, tho Major's (Jootl Spirits und All'abllitv Arc Unfull-iiig--Dlguillcd on Public Occasions, but Jovlul in l,rlvuto--lIo Nuvur Partakes ol'Alcohollc Ituvorngcs. When Mnjor McKlnley left the gov ernor's olllce at Columbus, he weigh ed 191 pounus; when nominated for president he still weighed 191 pounds, and It inuy surprise the many who are troubled about his physical condlton, und very unnecessarily, too, that af tro four munths of the most arduous sort ot mental nnd physical toll, he continues to weigh 191 pounds. Tho president-elect Is n conspicuous ex ample of the believers in the religion of cleanliness. In addition to his Meth odism, Mr. McKlnley considers that a largu degree of moral righteousness proceeds from the well-rubbed human unit. Nobody haw ever seen him emerge from the dressing room In the morn ing, without presenting the crisp and clean appearance of a self-respecting man, whoso freshly shaven face, care fully brushed hair, and well-ordered clothes bespeak his regard for external effects. At the same tlmo nobody would ever think of accusing Mr. McKlnley of be ing In tho leust degree foppish, On tho contrary, he Is so careful, yet unosten tatious in his dress, that unless one stiips to think of It, the matter of ap parel never once enters the mind. He always wears a frock coat, except dur ing tho extremely heated period, und he Invariably appears In public with nothing less dignified than a tall hat. On the day of his nomination, when tens of thousands of people, suddenly found themselves tearing to his house by some common linpuse, It seemed for a few moments that a stampede toward the front door was In progress, which must bo chocked Instantly. To accom plish this purpose, Major McKlnley left the house from the rear door, Intending to show himself on tho front porch, nnd thus restrain the movement for ward. WANTED THE RIGHT HAT. "Where's my hnt?" he Inquired us he left -the room. A gray neglige hat was given to him. "No, no," said he, "I want the other one." There was no time to hunt for hats and he went to the appointed place, but It was noted when he reached the spot he sought he was so mindful of appearances even amidst nil the tur moil that he found opportunity to re turn the soft and unconventional hat and exchange It for a statesman's hat, before the speaking began. Ho has Inherited a wonderful consti tution from his parents, and he Is so careful In his habits that he succeeds In maintaining a fair state of health with but little exercise. Ho has never had time for hunting, fishing or boat ing, having lived the life of a student nearly all his days. Probably the deli cate condition of his wife has restrain ed many Impulses In the direction of more violent physical . exercise, lie rarely missed his dally drive, however, and at present he.ls attended on these excursions by James Floyd, who Is also the door tender when the major Is at home. Until recently Mrs. McKlnley's nephew, Sam Saxton, was the major's personal attendant. but ho Is sick now, much to the regret of all who have busi ness at the .McKlnley house, and his mantel hns fallen upon the shoul ders of Mr. Floyd, a man with a feroc ious black moustache and muscles of steel, and, who, under a rather severe exterior, has one of the softest hearts In the world. Major McKlnley never drinks wine, and his only stimulants are coffee and cigars. Some people think that he smokes too much, but that Is only a matter of opinion. He eats sparingly, and his habits are Indicated by the fact that on the long and excited night ot the election all that pasesd his lips were a cup of coffee and a few crackers. An old colored aunty presides over the kitchen of the McKlnley establishment. She weighs about 200 pounds und her bosom heaves with pride over the re sponsibility of her office. NOT A SOLEMN MAN. There Is an Inclination on tho part of the public to suspect that Major Mc Klnley Is a rather solemn person In private because he Is serious in public. Nothing can be farther removed from the truth. The president-elect never forgets to be dignified, but a flavor of quiet humor which Is ever rarer than wit, constantly pervades the library when he is in it. lie is a wonderfully considerate man, too, to those who work under his. directions. Persons like the writer, whose duties have taken them to his library daily for the Inst live or six months, will all agree that they have never vet heard a harsh word from his lips or even seen any manifes tation of Irritation, although scarcely a day has passed when the Inconsider ate demands of his callers would not have justllled the exhibition of right eous Indignation. He Is a modest man, too. Only a few days ago there was a discussion en guged in about some speches that are to be published In the next volume of his addresses. One of the clerks re marked In reference to a certain speech, "that must go because it's a great one." "Pardon me, Charles," replied Major McKlnley, "It wus a great occasion, but nut a great speech." Many opinions will be expressed con cerning Mnjor McKlnley's public ca reer, but all who meet him personally eun truly say that no man In public life to-dav Is more accessible or more agreeable to strangers or to friends, NICHOLSON. The ladles of the Universalis church served dinner and supper nt the Opera house, New Year's day. There was a good attendance ami It was a success both socially and financially.
