Iseman, Oldest Engineer, Who Died Yesterday New I ork, Dec.ll—The death yester day of Garret iseman, 95 years, at his heme at Spaikill, N. Y., marks the passing of the oldest engineer of the Erie Railroad and broke up a trium virate of Rockland county men whose ages congregated 293 years. One of these is Cornelius A. Mabie. 103, who lives in Sparkhill; the third. Captain William A. Van Houten, 95, who lives ir. Haverstraw. Garrett Iseman was born in the vil lage of Palisadee, on May 18, 1824. The first 21 years of his life he spent on the home farm. Thereafter for 40 years he was in the engine of a cab on the Erie and the remainder of his days were spent on a farm near Spar kill. Ohirst Living Engineer Mr. Iseman. or "Garry," as his friends always called him. 'was re puted to have been the oldest living railroad engineer. When he was born there was, no railroad in America. When "Garry" was five years old, Ho ratio Allen ran the "Stoutbridge Hion,' the first locomotive on this continent, on the D. and H. "Garry" was the first engineer to run a regular train from Picrmont to Port Jervis, and he was the last survivor of this historic trip. in October. 1845. when he was 21, there were only five wood burning locomotives on the Erie, and he was fireman on one of them, the "Pier niont No. 2" In 1847 he was made an engineer.

He used to tell how "Jim" Fiske and Josie Mansfield rode his engine cab to Turner's Sta tion, where they often went to spend the day. He leaves a daughter.

HA YLR.ISBURG TELEGRAPH MORE IDLE CARS WITH TRAIN CUT Local Sidings Fill Up; Traffic Continues Heavy, Is . Report With the annulment of passenger trains on the Pennsylvania railroad idle cars are on the increase. Shift ing crews about the local station yesterday were kept, busy storing cars. The sidings in Ninth street and east of the Pennsy station are illled with Pullman cars and day coaches. Only two trains on ttie Pennsy now have chair cars. The one is Train No. 25, leaving Harrisburg for the west at 12.40 p. m., and com ing over the Trenton cutoff; and the other is Train No. 44, east, New York Day Express, reaching Harrisburg at 3.10 p. m. All other trains have coaches only except those running at night with sleeping cars. Coot-lies Crowded Harrisburgers who pntronized the chair cars east on morning trains are up against crowded conditions. Ad ditional coaches will be added when absolutely necessary. The elimina tion of the chair cars was done at the request of Regional Director E. W. Baldwin as part of the fuel sav ing program. C'hair cars do not seat more than half as many people as do the day coaches. Recognizing the necessity for these curtailments the people who travel are accepting these curtailments good naturedly and there has been but little grumbling upon their part about the station during the day.
