WEST JERSEY R. R. CONDUCTORS’ It «•«» about all month* ago wbca Huprriutrmlpnl Lot*1I, of tb# Want Jrrmj & >r»»hor» Kallraad. wa* baard to that b* bcHerad ba bad aa flu* a body .of niru undrr him aa could ha found in the rom)oy of any railroad company In I’nlUd Htataa. TU*a4 word* war* apokan at a time »ban tbe train aenrloa of bli company waa brioK >cbadulad to mart th* exiicrnctea of the prtaalnK aummer boa!neaa. wbtn. more tbau duilnit any other aeaaon of tbc year, there waa Bead of the moat faithful and IntrlliKent activity in every branch of tbe arr.ice. Having for many year* enjoyed an acquaintance with the pareonnel of tbe madi and more than fourteen year* cloaely aa aoclated with them aa a fellow-employe, 1 found food for thouKbt In the anperintvndent'a remark* above quoted, and the prreent pareonnel of the paaM-qger train •ri vice, no far aa I know It. apread Itself before my mind, and aa I gave it mental review, I waa well eouvinoed of tbe recicaaa of Mr. Lovell'* opinion. Veteran passenger conductor* still in active service, those who entered tbe company's service aa long ago aa in tbe early sixties, or about tbe time tbe extension to Cape May was completed, are Jeremiah Hano, John Price and A. I* Sparks, two former were trainmen on tbe original West Jersey, to Bridgeton and Salem, fore even tbe extension from Glamboro to Millville was constructed, when tbe venerable T. Jonee Yorke was president of tbe company. Sparks same out of tbe Civil War after three years of hard service and became a brakemaa, In A few years becoming a paaaeuger conductor and Anally received tbe appointment of trainmaster. Hie health failing, be waa restored to the more active position of a conductorablp. and is now on the Atlantic City branch. He is well-known to Cape May travelers. Mr. Hann, having reached the age limit of service, will be retired and pensioned at tbe close of tbe present year. Long and faithfully baa Conductor ‘Mere" Hann nerved bis company and tbe public, and tbe beat wishes of hundreds of true friends and admirers will follow him In bis retirement- Conductor John Price has a warm place in tbe hearts of Salem folk who have for so many years traveled In bis care. Mr. Sparks is one of tbe most reliable of men, and has a steady run to Atlantic and retains bis borne In Camden. Others of long service as conductors, sturdy men every one, well-tried and not found wanting, as to Intelligence, reliability and faithfulness are John C. Sweeten, Joseph Rogers.Thomas Rogeraon, Clayton Moore, John Rot, C. A. J. Johnson, (tbe popular fixture of ‘•Fire-Mile") Harry Wilson. William Miller, James Curtis. Smith Hewitt. Thomas C. Wallace. And so we might go on do* n tbe list *s memory hurriedly calls them up, with tbe names of J, Wesley Goff, Hickson Robbins, William Johnson, Mr. McCann. Benjamin Hughes, Frank Williams, James Newell. Mr. Clapp. "Wniie" Weeks. Hughes and Weeks are Cape May productions, young men who have proven themselves worthy the confidence of their company and the high esteem lu which they are held bv all acquaintance*. Mr. Robbins, a ho resides at the Capa May rod of tbe line, is an experienced railroader and a very worthy

dtiseo.

Older readers of the Hekxld will recall the fact that tbe first three passenger conductors upoo the Cspe Msy trains weie Henry C. Mnlliner. Richard T. Brown and Edward Q. Johnson. Tbe latter la still living, 1 thihk. near Wllllamaiown, N. Tbe former two died at their Cape May homes some years ago. Tbe lamented James G. King and Jarvis Sharp of tbe earlier condnctors were as good sod true men as ever ran a train. The brothers. Charles P. and Joseph klikeauer, of tbe younger men, are still mourned by fellow-trainmen. “Bare” H.ckey, so long on tbe Opean City branch, passed away nearly two years ago, soon after retirement on account of Impaired vision, waa anotbst noble fellow whose good qualities cme cannot soon forget. V\ 11 Item A. HtnffV rere.whose tall,commanding figure readers remember so well, was retired and pensioned a few yean ago. "Unde Billy’ is living a serene and happy life, excepting that be regrets that be is not permitted to continue in active service. A thought of the late Conductor Frank Matthews, of this dty, awakens sad cries because of bis rapid breaking down and early demise. He waa only In his thirties when he made his last report, and passed away about two yean ago. - T. R. B. The Htate'Gasette.
