SENTINEL & REPUBLICAN MIFFLINTOWX. TedueNdar, Jane 3', IT4. B. F. SOHWEIEli, eMtok axo rioraiF.TOK. DesUb of John Edgar Thom - on. Although, it had Keen known For some time that Mr. Thompson was far from well and the contingency of his death his been considered in limines, the announcement of that eveut on the 28th till., surprised every one. ami occasion ed very general regret. Mr. Thompson was a Pnnj Iranian by birth and education. His ancestors anivrd with William I'tnn. One them, Benjamin Cope, was a number of the Provincial Council j another, Samuel Lewis, minister of the Soci ety of Fncnds, was a member of the fi. st Legislative Assembly. Mr. Thom son's father, John, wa.s a civil engineer of distinction, lie was associated with Litrobe ii planning the Delaware and Chesapeake caual ; was connected with the Holland Land Company, in the western portion of this State and New York ; built the schooner While Fih at Krie in 1793, aud long befoie rati ways or canals were dreamed of, brought it by Lake Ontario, Oue-.da Lake, the Mohawk and Hudson rivers and Allan- tic Ocean into the I'e'aware ; aud the little vessel decayed in Independence Square. Kdgar was born in Delaware eounty in 1 His fattier died in After the usnal education of that period, Mr. Thomson having decided to . . . . - . . ... loitow n.s latucr s proiossion, was cm- ployed by Moj r John Wilson in 1827, on the Philadelphia sud t'olumhia tail- road, and three years later was trans- lerred by him to locate the eastern end of the CamJn and Amboy rovl. He then visited Europe to mcrease h:s pro fessional attainments, aud, returning, became chief engineer of the Georgia road, from Atlanta to Augusta, in 183G He completed the construction, and was ctuamg tue Atuens i,rancn, i.aa u.ei8 ., ,lulrtthv. $145 ner then unequalled length of 213 miles.! And it is, perhaps, deserviug of note, 1 now that railway construction is grow-1 in., an fat st tti &n:itli stul wliAn t ,..,,. , kiudlicr feelings and more intimate re- , . , latiocs are springing up between Penn- ... . f ., . fylvania and tuis section of the south certainly, that the city of Atlanta was named by Mr. Thompson. He also purchased about this time tbe .Mont- gomery and West Pointroad, theu bank mnt - pftninlptpd and iiisiIa It. nn.fits. . . .. . . Lie, and laid out the ( hattonnoga and .... 1 -. , , INashville road, that was ul'' " plans. His reputation gained by these enterprises was suca that he was desired . . , , , ,. ,. , to take charge of the Memphis and Charleston connenting roads after he had left tbe south : aud his opininn in railway matters always carried weight' tjjg.g. Mr. Thomson's eminence, boa ever. ! dates from his connection with the Pennsylvania Railroad, of which he beosme chief engineer in 1847. He located and superintended the construc tion of the portion west of Ilarnsburg and was chosen President vf the Com pany in 1852. Snecesivc re-elections retained him uninterruptedly iu that responsible position. His labors and accomplishment, and their uses to tbe road, city, Slate aid country, and the greater uses promised, are perhaps as well known and as highly appreciated as could be expected. They have not been overestimated. When he accept ed the post of engineer, the road ex tended no further west than Harris burg. At the close of a little more thau twenty year be leaves it with un interrupted connection to all the south ern ports of the great lakes and far ont r,n the line of the North Pacific ; ever the Kansas and Union Pacific to San Francisco j to New Oilcans and ccu tral Texas; along the whole southern coast of tbe Atlantic aud through much of the interior of the south. And great as this foreigu connection is, the strictly domestic growth of the coin p auy has paralleled it. Every step ot this rrowth had his anrrova! nectssa-' rily ; much or it was pr. posed aud j achieved by bis force. He cave Lis! own inSuence and the great weight of the Pconsylvanie road to the consolida tion of the Pittsturg and Chicago roads aud the completion of the Fort U'ayne ; to the construction of tbe Cincinnati and the lease of the New Jersey roads, and to those steamship connections on the Atlantic that unite I Philade'phia with Kurope Mr Thorn-! sou was alio an inSucuttal member of the Atlautiu and Pacific aad of the Texas and California companies, and was a director iu the Southern Kail way Security Company. He was con cerned in a number of railway enter prises, principally io the south, that are independent of the Pennsylvania com pany. It can be easily understood that such engagetneutj left little opportunity for Other employment. Mr. Thomson was not an active politician, though exert ing great iufiuenre. lie aided th: I'ni.ju cause materially during the re bellion y advice, and contributed per sonally in various ways. At the close of 1ST- he was selected by the onrt of Common Pleas to succeed General Meade as one of the Perk Cotuniis- 1 sionera, and from the following April to j tbe close of the year ho was a director I of the Centennial Board of Finance. J Personally he wsa liberal, courteous i and popular, and bta eminent abilily ! for organization and direction was con- j ceded everywhere. The loss is great, but by no means 6 ' J irremediable. Other gentlemen, long associated with Mr. Thomson, are fa miliar with all tli concerns ho direct ed and have co operated in their tuan- j agement and managed in his absence and illness. Tbey can advance what he commenced and increase and im- irrove ai oe uas leu ; ana win ao i n ,i i , . i -it , jao. Uut whatever limits and nseful ! u'aJ he reached, John Kdgar j Tliouipscu wi!l alwjjs he honorably as I aociated with euurj.nses of the first j momcut for tje welfare of the city in which he resided, the State in which he was born, and the whole country. .Yor'fi American.
