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

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.
