PA., THURSDAY, Remarkable Railroad Record. Friday of last week Andrew J. Wolfkill, the veteran railroader nn the S. it L. mail, rounded "ut his turtv-five years continuous service in the emplny ol the Pennsylvania rail road company, having entered its service tin the 1st nf April, 1854. Mr. Wolfkill was born and raised at Longfellow, this county, and when a a little over eighteen years of age wont to work on the track in that vicinity, in which capacity be con tinued fnr about three years, He then .engaged as freight brakenian nn the division then extending from Mlfttntown to Columbia, Ha., and after about a year nn thai division was promoted tn passenger brake man, running I'm' a year between Altoonaand Harrisburg. t-orflve years following lie was passenger brekeman and baggagemaster on a through run between Pittsburg and Philadelphia. October 25, 1864, on the completion ol the Mifflin ami Centre Comity railroad tn lieeds- ville he was appointed conductor of the local train ruhuing between here and that place, continuing as passen ger conductor of that branch until 1872, when he was transferred to the passenger train on the S. & L. running from this place to Sunbury. During this period of service Mr. Wolfkill has been in thirty i un avoidable railroad accidents, in none nf which turtunatcly he was serious ly injured, and notwithstanding his sixty-t hree years nf age and expos ure to ull kinds of weather is still in the pr'iii.. of life iind has not lost a day's pay toralmost sixtyiyoars. This is a lietter lot than falls to the aver age railroader, and la a distinction not only to Mr. Wolfkill himself but the community in w hich he resides as well. Andy, as he is familiarly known by all, is a careful and con scientious railroad man, always look ing to the interests of the company in which he is employed as well as the care and comfort nf the patrons nn the cars in which he has been in charge, and with all the attention he has given to his occupation lias found ample opportunity tn enjoy life as few lcssaelivcly engaged have done, fishing lor troul and other game fish being his delight, a few years ago making a journey to some southern water.- tn enjoy that sport. He sti'l enjoys excellent health and we hope by the time he has rounded the half century nf service the two division system nn the Pennsy may lc in operation between Philadelphia and Pittsburg, with Lewistown as the central point, and Andy may lie able to step into the general superin tendent's office at the Junction and receive the credit due fnr long and faithful service. Lewutown Ga zette. A Reply. Editor Host. When your Sha mokin Dam correspondent of last week was interviewed by Hill con cerning the good things which hap pened at the flitting of Goo. Row, Rill's mind niusn't have been very clear orolse he must have had wheels in his head as be has the truth terri bly warped and the Pneumatic Punc ture at the wrong end. But we must make some allowance fiir Bill as he was to u moving the day lie fore and onlv went as for as Selins grove where be filled up with fire water ami next morning at I vow s lie smelted lung and hard at tin cider keg, after which that Imttle obtained the puncture. The question now is, lin marie the puncture; 1 lie man who came away without dinner or the one who smelted more cider and who could not find the road home the next dav. But then, under the circumstances, then- iscertninly some excuse tor Bill s getting the facts misconstrued. Oxe who Knows. Get the Post, ouly $1.50. APRIL 13, 1899. Wedding Bells.
