Colonel Fletcher Weirs ter. arm of the great American or.it.rr and * talesman participated in this ride ou a troop train, together with the Twelfth Mas anrbusetts regiment, which he organ teed. This regiment was largely re cruited In Boston and the town of Worcester. Many of those composing it were hardy youths, descendants of those who participated In the Rerolu

After Colonel Webster and hts 1.200 men were prepared to move toward Washington, following the call of Lincoln for TTr.IKKl troojr*. It was necessary to tran»(«.rt them from Jersey City through Easton.. Allentown and Harrisburg. It was 9 o'clock In tbe morning when this twelve car train with it* l.a>0 men steamed oat of Harrisburg and made It* way down tbe 8us-

A few minutes later a handsome young man of twenty-fire stood before the colonel of the Twelfth Maasacbo sett*. “Can yon run this train In safety to Baltimore?" asked the colonel. “I can, sir." responded Sergeant Re A few minutes later young Revere opened the throttle, and the long train labored up the grade after paining tbe curve at that place. It required all the steam that he could generate In his locomotive to pull tbe heavy trainload of soldiers up tbe steep bill at New Freedom, tbe highest point along the Northern Central railroad b.tween York nnd Baltimore.
