Dunkirk tho first passenger ttnln that
ran through tiom the Hudson river to
Lake Hrle on tho I2ile rallioad the
first train that ever made tho trip be
tween tidewater and tho lakes on any
railroad. It was ono boctlon of an ex
cursion train that left I'iermont, then
tho eastern terminus ot the Uile, on
May U, 1851, to celebrate the opening
o the railroad that had been nearly
twenty years In building. That section
ot the pioneer thiough train cairled tho
most distinguished party that wan ecr
got together on a ralliond train before
or blnce. In it wore Mlllnid nimnip,
president or the United Slntoi, and his
cabinet, Including Daniel Webster and
John J. Chittenden; Stephen A. Doug

ex-Governor Mnrcy, Daniel S. Dlckln
Bon, Chillies O'Conor and six carloads
of others, Judges, statesmen, journal

Daniel Webster rode much of the timo
sitting In a big easy locking chair
placed on a Hat car as nn observation

said. The trains were In chaise of
the officers and boaul of directors of
the railroad company, among w horn

day. On the next ilnv they ran to Dun
kirk. At Ilornell.svillo Chailes H. Sher
man took chaige of the Hist tialn as
engineer and W. D. Hall of the second.
That part of the road was entirely new,
and a locomotlvo was tun n shoit dis
tance behind tho second excursion tialn
to be on hand to help In enso of a
breakdown. This locomotlvo was in
charge of "W. A. Kimball. The llrst
train was preceded by another loco
motive tun by II. G. Urooks, then an
engineer In the employ of tho Krle.
That locomotive was the fiist ono that
eer sounded a whistle on the thoio
of Lake Krle west of Huffalo. Hiooks
then on engineer on tho Iioston and
Maine railroad, was hired by tho Kile
to fetch the locomotlvo fiom Iioston.
It was can led on a c.sel from that
city to Now York, where it was loaded
on an Krle canal boat and transported
to Huftalo From there it was taken on
a Lake Kilo steamboat to DunUiik.
Urooks set It upon the Kilo track at
that place In November, isr.0. It was
the pioneer locomotlvo of tho western
end of the Krio lailtoad, and was
named the Dunkirk. Urooks remained
with tho Kile. Ho became superinten
dent of the western division and mas
ter mechanic. He left tho load In 3SC9,
nnd founded tho Hiooks Locomotlvo
Works at Dunklik.

"Brooks. Sherman, Kimball, Hall, and
many otheis wero all In ought fiom the
Iioston and Maine lathoad by Chailes
Mlnot, general hupeilntendent of the
Krle, who was himself a graduate of
tho Ponton and Maine. He was a son
of Judge Mlnot of tho Massachusetts
Supreme court. Ho was the Jirst to use
the system of running trains bv tele
graphic orders, whleli lie did on the
Eiie In the fall of 1851. Shciman, thu
veteran engineer who died tho other
day, was 78 years old. Kimball Is still
Jiving at Hornellsvite. Hall Is at Ua
tavla, N. Y., where he if running a
switch engine on the New York Central
railroad. They, with Sam Yaples of
Hornellsvllle, are tho last ot the pion

"W. II. Stewart, tho conductor who
stirted fiom 1'ieimont with one sec
tion of the great exclusion trailn. in
living at Waeily, N. Y., at the age ot
S5. He began as conductor on the Krle
In No ember, 1842, when tho lallioad
was only llfty miles long, nnd had been
in opotatlon but little more than a
year. This was between Plermont and
Ooshen. Three conductois weie then
all that tho business of the Kilo le-
qitlred. Stewnrt was tho tliiicl In the
service, Kben K. Warden having been
the first conductor to run a leguhir
train on tho Kilo, nnd Homy Ayers the
second. Worden did all tho woik on
tho road from Its opening In Septem
ber, 1811, until October, 1MJ. when
Ayers wns added to the service, Stew
art following him two weeks later.
There weie no such things as cabooses
on the freight trains in thoo das, nor
cabs to the engines. Tho conductors
had to ride on the locomotives. Theio
was no protection from snow or lain.
It was not an uncommon thing to see
tlio engineer and conductor coveted
with Ice Theio wero only two ticket
offices on tho Krle, at Goshen nnd Ches
tei. The conductor was provided wltli
tickets for each station on tho toad, a
square tin box to carry them In, and a
lmg containing $10 in small coins and
bills. This was carried In the box, nnd
was the conductor's capital for tho day.

FiHHT TItAIN OUDKIl.
'Conductors Ayers nnd Stewart weie
selected to lun tho ilrat and second
section of tho groat thtough excursion
train In 1S51 ns far as Klmlin. At that
place Conductor C. W. Itoblnson was
to take the first fccllon, nnd Conductor
A. N. Chapln the second section, unit
iuii thoni to Dunklik. The tialn lay all
night at Khnlta, and ovoiythlng was
'wile open." Things wero whooped up
nil night long, and Conductor Itobliison,
curried away by tho universal good
cheer, wns not feeling In shnpe to tnlw

the tialn, iiad so ho van nil tho way
from Plermont to Dunkirk, and thus
becamo tho first conductor to mnko the

first thiough tialn, a distinction ot
which ho Is cry pioud In his old age.
"This dean ot tho now wide fialernlly
of tallrond conductois also ran tho
Hist train that was ever urn on telo
giaphic order. This was In tho fall of
1T)1. Vp to that time the unhid on

lutondcnt Mlnot was on tho linln on
this particular dnv. At Tinner's sta

old lallioad men. Suponntendent Mlnot
wns a teloginph operator. When tho
west-bound opic-s arrived nt Tumor's
Mlnot telegraphed to tin ooerator at
Goshen asking him whether the east
bound tialn hid 1'ft lint statl in. The
answer was that the li iln had not ai

It was much behind Its time. Superin
tendent Mlnot then v.-ot and handed
to Conductor Stevnit, the Hist ono
eer wiltten, an order to inn his tialn
to Goshen iegardles of tho tialn com

rtur, and handing it to his engineer, told
him to go ahead. Tho engineer lend
tho. ouler, and pasln,r it back to Stow

" 'Do jou take mo for a damn fool? I
won't run by tint thing"
OXK FAST HUN.
'Conductor Stewart repoited to tho
Supeilntendent, who wont forward and
used his authoilty on Knglneer Lewis
but without avail. Mlnot then climbed
into the cab nnd took charge of tho
loeomothe himself. Lewis jumped off
and got In the icar seat of tho lear car.
The Supeiintendent inn tho train to
Goshen. Tho other tialn not having
leached that point jet, ho inquired for
It nt Mlddletown. It was not there.
Ho inn to Mlddletown, nnd so on to
Toit Joris, v. heie tho east-bound train
entered tho jaid fiom tho wast as tho
other went In fiom the east. An hour
had been saved to tho west-bound cx
ptcss, nnd the teleginphlc system of
tunning tinlns wns adopted at once
on the Kio, and It soon became tinl
vei.Mil. "The i mining ot the great excursion
tiain oer tho Kile In ISol was big
with lesults to ono individual's future.
At Paterson theie were two locomo
tive builders who weio intense lhals
ltogors and Swlnburn. Kogors had tho
gi cater leputatlon, and had made many
locomotives for the Kile, but Swlnbuin
had furnished some nl.so. Two of tho
famous onglnoeis of the Kilo in that
dij- weio Gad Lyman and Josh Mar
tin Lyman tan between Poit Jervls and
Illnghamton, tho road halng been
opened In that place In I'll In October,
j-sjo. Mwininiin cienvoieu to tno Kile a
now locomotive, famous now as the
"old 71," and Knglncor Martin was
anxious to have It on his urn. It wns
given to Gad Lyman, however, al
though ho wns paitlal to tho Itogors
make of engines. He used the loco
motlvo a few months nnd repoited thnt
he could not mnke time with It. It
wns condemned and put In service on a
gravel tialn. This was a gieat blow to
Swlnbuin, for ho had a laigo ouler
for locomotives fiom the Kile. Josh
Mai tin at Inst got poi mission to tiy tho
condemned 71. Swlnbuin took It back
to tho shop, overhauled it, and found
nothing amiss. 'Mai tin took the loco
motive on his run and made liLs timo
with it on the crooked Delaware dlvls
lon easier than with nny locomotive
ho had ever run. Ho had run tho 71
but a few weeks when the great event
of npeui'ir; the toad to Dunklik was at
hand
"After Gnd Lyman nbandonod tho
Swlnbuin englno ho was placed in
diaigo of a Itogeis locomotive, tho 100,
and In Maj. JS51, ho was notified that
ho was to run tho flist section of tho
giand opening excursion train fiom
Plermont. When the day camo his fa
orlto P.ogeis engine was nttnehed to
tho tialn, but before they had auived
at Suffein tho locomotive was 'stuck,'
and it was neccsrary to push the train
with tho locomotive of tho becond sec
tion. Tho consequence was that they
auived at Mldletown, only fifty-three
miles on tho way, nearly nn hour late.
At Mlddletown Superintendent Mlnot
telegiaphed to the ngent nt Poit Jervls
to lmo John Martin icadv with his
Swlnburn englno on the arrival of tho
train at that station to tnko the first
section on Its wny. John wns theie
und took tho tialn on. It Is declared 1y
old tallioadeis to this day that a train
has neer been run over tho Delawaio
division of tho Krle at .such speed
since. Tho dlBtanco between Port Jer
vls nnd Nnriowsburg Is thirty-four
miles and the iun was made in thlity
lho minutes accoullng to tho testimony
on jecord of tho conductor, engineer,
and tevernl passengers. Tho officers of
tho company who weio aboaid tho
train wero astounded. Tho pasengeia
were nlaimed, and many of them
begged tho conductor, 'Poppj-' Aj-ers
to stop the train and let them off.
Martin landed tho tialn at Susque
hanna, nftcr-mnny stops in tho Dela
waio ulley, for Webster and others
to mnko speeches to the people that
thronged tho way, almost on Echedulo
time, having overcomo nearly an
hour's delinquency in time. He mndo
Swinburu's fortuno that day, for no lo.
comotlves of that mnko wero ever con
demned on tho Kile railroad. Tho rall
ioad company gave Martin a hand
some gold watch, which he carried until
tho day of his death."

tho singular verdict but because of tho
lnheiontly Paiisinn chaiucter ot the
stoij:
Lucj Jocqulllait, a erj- handsome
young woman, was born twenty-tluee
j-cais ago In a small hamlet ot the
Department of the Yonne. Her fathr
waa a day laborer, but notwithstanding
Ills poverty he gave her a good edu
cation an. education, Indeed, Including
many accomplishments. At tho age of
17 she was to many a worthy and
prospeious j-oung fanner. She object
ed and lied to tho nearest town Theio
she met and captivated a j-oung cav
ahj' olllcer. He loved her, and did
maiij things for her ho should not
have done. It took exactly one year
for her to iiiln him. One day he awoke
to llnd himself penniless nnd dishon
ored. Sho had not onlj' stolen everj
centime ho had, but she had swindled
eijbody in sight, putting tho blame
on him.
The joung man killed himself, and
tho ghl ptomptly found another dupe,
whom sho subjected to exactlj the
same experience. Four men she mined
In this way before ho woe arrested
for theft and swindling nnd sent to
prison for three years Sho served tho
tenn, which expired last jear, nnd at
once started out on fresh adventures.
She stole a laigo sum of money, as
Hiimeu tho title of Countess de Cha
leon, nnd came to Pails, Sho thought
herself accomplished In Intrigue, and,
as tho lesult above shows, she made
no mistake. Beautiful, educated, nnd
with that haughty beailng which
counts for so much In the artificial
Fiench capital, she regarded herself
as fit for any lino of work. As a pre
llmlnaiy to successful business she
tented a sumptuously furnished npatt
inent In the Avenue des Champa Kly
sees, hired half a dozen servants, and
bought a showy vlctmia and pair. Then
she was teady.
A GAY KNCHANTKIt.
For a month she attracted a great
deal ot attention In tho carriage pa
lades ot the Hols. Kverybody remark
ed her. Kverj-body wanted to know
who sho was, nnd nobody knew. That
was tho first lesson: she was talked
about, and had become a personage.
Ono day sho drove In her showy vic
toria to tho hanking house of Oppen
helm Uros. The two j'oung men, ltob
ert nnd Kugene, are bachelors nnd
baions. She was received by thslr
confidential secretary, Michel Ilriand.
To this young man she recited a ro
mantic story. She was on the point of
receiving, ehe said, a very largo ln
hoilta'no?, but .ho had had trouble
with her husband, and ho had placed
obstacles In her waj". In substantia
tion of her story she showed Mr. Cil
and a number of letters from various
attornejH, which had been cleverly
foiged. Mr. Hrland, according to tho
Pails ne-wspapere, was "overcomo by
the extreme distinction of tho coun
tess," nnd strnlghtwny he fell head
tev ram In love with her or he ex
perienced that fo ling which serves
tho same end according to tho Paris
code. Ho left his wlfo and two smalt
children, and was henccfoith her
slave. At the end of four months, in
older lo satisfy the exigencies of tho
countess, ho had lobbed his employers
of $75,000, according to the Oppenhelm's
story, of $.'0,000 nreording to his own.
Whatever tho sum. the countess had It.

When the Oppenhelms discovered tho
los and thrcateind to prosecute him,
tho countess went to see them. Sho
wns very high and might J. Sho ex
pressed lively Indignation at the dis
honesty of Mr. llrlnnd. but added that,
out of Pity for him, sho would under-
tako to tepny tho entire nmount that
he had stolen. The Oppenhelms wero
pleased, not unly with the proposition
but with tho countess, and ngioed to
diop any thought of prosecution. How
much they were pleased with tho couu
ess will never be known, oxactlj', al
though she hinted in court that she
might have bom. thing to tell If tho
case went ugninst her. In nn- ovont,
these two llowoiv letters were put In
evidence at the tilal:
"A million thanks, dear madam, for
your exquisite letter. May God nnd
tho Holy Virgin bless j oil you nnd

Thi Juiors thought that was very
witty, and rubbed their hands In ap
preciation. They weie still smiling In

tacked them. Ills client, ho declaied,
wns the dupo of an artful woman. At
theso wotds the Juiois looked very
much hurt, but thej lulghtencd up
when tho attorney went on lo say how
much his client had loved tho coun

cue, and In the course of half an how's
speech he dwelt on the beauty, the
sacredncss of such a love. At tho end
tho juiy wns in a leal sentimental
stew. They woro out but five minutes,
and came back with a verdict ncqult-

but, to save the honor of Fiance and

Kverj- great change for the worse In

an improvement In all other essentials

large fortune say, of several millions,
or even of $10,000,000 or $.13,000,000. Not

thing Is to Imagine tho possession of
such a fortune, nnd ceitalnly nothing
13 easier than to lay It out accoiding
to what appeals likely to bring tho

Ask
-HH"r-"H-'
Ask that well dressed
where he gets his clothes?
your nearest neighbor, be it next
door or a mile away, who his
tailor is? Where did your father
go for his wearables when he was
a boy? Ask any little boy where
he'd rather go for his suit or over
coat? Who makes it pleasant
and comfortable for mothers and
daughters that shop for their
sons and brothers?
There is but oue answer Samters'.
In the office the lawyer's, the broker's,
the banker's in the pulpit at the bar of jus
tice in the private office on the best dressed
men you will see our suits and overcoats.
We have but one complaint to make some
of you don't give credit where credit is due,
The old disregard for ready-made no longer re
mains no longer applies to our sort. You
can feel a pride in claiming Samter your tailor,
inasmuch as he fits you perfectly and saves you
money.
