MAN OF EXPERIENCE.
Short Biogrsphlcal Sketch of LleuP. Tho.
A. Roberts, New Superintendent.
To-day the A. V. R'y becomes part
of tho great Pennsylvania railroad sys
tem and the Low Grade Division is
added to tho Middle Division of the
Philadelphia It Erin railroad, with
Lieut. Thomas A. Roberts, of Tlenovo,
as suHirlntondent of saint. It Is but
natural that our people would want to
know something about the man who
wMI bo superintendent of this branch of
tho railroad, and from thn Elmlra )if;
(iturllr of May 4, lIMKt, we clip tho fol
lowing biographical skoteh:
"The birth of this widely-known rail
road man occurred In tho city of Phila
delphia on the 20th day of Juno, 1841.
H received a thorough training In the
public school of that city and entered
the service of the city survey depart
ment of Philadelphia In tho year 1858.
In 8'i ho wa commissioned us second
lieutenant of Company B, Fifty-third
Pennsylvania volunteers, at that time
commanded by Colonel John R. Brooke,
now major general of tho United States
army. Mr. Roberts experienced con
siderable service, but at tho end of eight
months was obliged to resign on account
of ill health. During tho year 1804 he
made his entry Into railroad service In
tho capacity of a rod man on tho construc
tion of what was then known as tho
Pan-Handle railroad, a line constructed
between Pittsburg and Hteubcnvlllo,
Ohio, From lHt)U tu 1880 he was an
assistant engineer In the engineering
department of the Pennylvanl rail
road. In 1W bo was promoted1 lo the
position of a division superintendent of
tho Pennsylvania system and has since
so served. In 18: Mr. Robert was
transferred from Mio gupjrlutendenoy
of tho Bedford division of thy Pennsyl
vania Railroad company to lake charge
of the' division known as the middle
division of the Philadelphia ft Erie
railroad extending between Renovo and
Kano; this position also Involves the
superlntendeney of the extensive rail
road shops at Renovo, as well as of
three different branches of tho middle
division. The middle division from
Renovo to Kane Is 101 miles long.
The branch from Keating to Kar
tells is twenty-two miles; from Ridg
way to Fall Creek I twenty-seven
miles: and the brunch from Johnson
to Clermont covers twenty miles. The
shops ut Renovo employ an average of
1,100 men and those on the division foot
up a many more, making a total of
about 2,.'100 men under Mr. Roberts'
supervision. Mr. Roberts In 1800 wa
elected school director at Renovo and
at once booaino president of tho school
board. Ho has since continuously filled
tho position, and from tho first ha
taken a very active part In the advance
ment of the cause of education. By those
Intimately acquainted with hi ser
vices in thut direction, It Is stated that
he is one of the best qualified men In
tho state, outside of the teachers' pro
fession, In tt.j active management of
school affairs. Mr. Roberts belongs to
the Episcopal church, where for a num
ber of years he has served as treasurer.
He belongs to tho Engineer's club of
Philadelphia, United Servlcs club of
the same city, and to tbo Masonic fra
ternity. A wife and six children con
stitute his family. Mr. Roberta has
been the architect of his own fortunes
und bos gradually and steadily risen to
un honorable and Influential position In
railroad circles. He is a gentleman of
careful judgment and Is an executive
officer of great tact and ability. Under
his watchful scrutiny tho Important in
terests of the great Pennsylvania sys
tem, on the middle division and at
Renovo, receive tho closest attention,
on tho part of the large force of men
under bis suocrvision.
It Helped to Win Battles.
