B. E. COWLES DEAD.
Well-Known Night Tinin Dis
patcher of the D., L. & W. Rail
ioad, Dies in the Moses Tay
lor Hospital.
Hoiijamiu i:. Covvlcs. night dispatcher
of the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd
Western Haihoad company, died lust
night at in o'clock at the Moses Taylor
hospital. He had been a sufferer from
diabetes for some time and about two
weeks ago was compelled to relinquish
his work. Fiidnv last be took u seil
ous tin ii and sank uipldly to the end.
The defeased was forty-two eais of
age and for over a. quarter of u cen
tury hud been 111 the employ ot the
Lackawanna load, with the exception
of two years spent ns dispatcher of
the Manhattan Hcarh line of the Long
Island Railroad company.
He was bom In AVaverly and began
his tullioad cuieer at tho age of six
teen as uicgtnph operator nt Ulenburn.
Later ho was transfeired to I'ocono
and after a few years his tuleut won
for him tho position of tialn dispatcher
of the llloouisbuiK division, with lieai1
ciu, utets ut Kingston. A more lucin
tlve position with the Long Island Hull
load company was offered him and he
left the Lac kaw anna's? employ for a
couple of veais. The position of night
dispatcher on the I-iekaw anna's main
line became open at about this time and
It wns ofleied to hhn. He accepted and
for tho last llfteen yeais filled the posi
tion most cicditaldy. He has a iccord
or never having hnd a vvieck In all the
time that he acted as tialn dispatcher.
Mr. Covvlcs had peculiar faculties for
this class of woik and this, coupled
with his long training, made hhn le
markablv cxpett. I1H ability In some
respects was nothing short of phenom
enal. It Is said of him, and instances
have proved It to be no meic specula
tion, thnt fiom tho time he took charge
or the load nt nightfall until ho was
lelleved at li o'clock In the morning
he cat iled before his eves a mental
diagram of eveiy lod or track, eveiy
switch, and the position, dliectlon and
speed of even tialn and even empty
engines Hint would be on the mad.
To both hli supeiiois and fellow-cm-plojis
his death will bo leee-lved with
deepest regie t. He Is sutvlved by Ills
wife, a daughtoi. Miss It cue Cowles, of
the High school, and it son, Oairett H.
