Recollections of an Old Employe—Tho Flret
Locomotive, Etc*
Mr. Joseph O. Davis, of East Macon, fur
nishes the following to the Savannah News:
Just fifty years ago the Central Railroad
Company awarded its first contract for the
building of the road. The contractors began
work with a vim. Fifteen hundred laborers
were put to work felling trees, grading the
roadbed, etc. The work progressed finely
without a ripple until February, 1837, when
the signs of the times pointed to a porteu-
Uoub cloud gathering around the shanties,
and a rumbling of disaffection was heurd
from within.
The laborers complained of not receiving
their wages and revolted. They threatenec
to arm themselves with their picks, axes,
crowbars, etc., and in a body to march to
the city with the intent of tearing down the
company’s bank if they were not paid.

Ronte Agent Johnson. When the air

door to see what was the matter, but the

managed to get to a post of tho mailing
frame,ami ft* ho looked out be saw tho loco
motive plunge madly up the embankment,
and saw the ill-fated engineer drop down as
if he was shot clown. Then came a crash,
id ho w he got out of his car he does not
know. He went at once to the engineer,
who lay prone upon the track, just under
his seat on tho engine. Ho was dead. In
a short while Thomas was dead. Then
Cunt. Dasher had the engineer’s remains
pl.t?, <1 upon a pole-car and sent back to
Eufaula.
The engine, strange to say, climbed the
embankment, broke down a fence, and was
about entering the door of a little house |
that stood upon tho side of tho road wheu
its force was spent and it stopped.
On one side of the porch of this house
little four-year-old girl had been standing
watching the train. The dirt plowed up
by tho engine going up the embankment
knocked her down and completely buried
her. Route Agent Johnson saw her kick-
g, and soon removed the pile of dirt and
freed her. Wheu taken out of tho dirt she
found unhurt, and her first words
were: “It nearly scared mo to death.”
Although the* mail and express car, the
btggage car and the second-class car were
derailed, not a passenger was hurt, though
they wero considerably shaken up.
The news of the disaster soon spread,
<ul soon hundreds of people Hocked to the

little could be accomplished in tho way of
clearing the wreck. As soon as possible a
trim from Montgomery arrived, aud the
ptaiengers wore transferred.

A» previously announced, Col. E. C.
Mu. hen, of New York, has been in tho city
for the past few days.
CoL Machen has the entire contract for
I'uilding and equipping the Covington aud
ad, and the principal object of
Macon railroad, _ .
his visit here has been to settle the indebt
of tho road as far as it has pro-
H'^'d.
A Tn.KuiuPii reporter saw Col. Machen
T ynt«rday ufternoon, and obtained from
him soma points in connection with the
f wd tint may bo of interest to the public
*1 tha present time.
Am .ng other things, Mr, Machen said
*W Uo hod paid for $70,000 worth of iron
f'jr the road, which was at presout in the
'ta'k at New York, ready to be shipped out
*h< never occasion required. In addition
• y this hi had caused to be built nil the curs
that would bo required for the road, and

'instruction and would be completed in
time. The iron already bought would
tr*!teh over *21 miles ot the road. He had
* "> bought with it fiisteuiug-*, etc., neces-
to put it down.
IT to the present time, Mr. Machen said
h* had expended $120,0t*> on the road, and
**perises were increasing daily. He is ex-
I looting soon another lot of iron to arrive

Mr. Machen said that it would be one of tl

A Tramp Ileveal. Home Secret. to a Tele
graph Reporter.
Down near Bryant’s wood yard yesterday
afternoon, u tramp stopped a Tkleobaph
reporter with the exclamation:
Say, Mister, gimme that snipe!”
“Snipe?” said the reporter, “I’m not a
bird hunter, and haven't seen a snipe in
ten years.”
“Oh, Hay now,” said the tramp, a smile
wreathing his mottled countenance," what
yer giviu me? Gimme that snipe between
yer teeth.”
The reporter caught on. The “snipe”
was the end of a cigar which he held in hia
mouth. He threw the “snipe" into a ditch
and gave the tramp a fire cent cigar.
“Say, pard, yer’ro kinter Vandybilt,
aint you?” said tho tramp, as ho fished a
match from the depths of his coat pocket.
“I’m glad I met yer. I've b’en lookin' for
yer ever seuce I lef Fluridy. Mebbe yer
c'n tell me what kin’ o’ han’ outs the peo
ple o’ this town gives a gen’loman as aint
Hush o’ fun’s?"
The “gen’loman as aint flush o’ fun’s”
walked up the railroad embankment and
took a seat on the end of a cross-tie. The
reporter followed him and took a seat on
the end of another cross-tie not far away.
“Are you a tramp?" asked the reporter,
surveying the tattered garments, ragged
hat, aud mismr.lc’ shoes of the “geutleman
rs air-’i fi»sh o’ funs.”
“No, sirree, I ain't!” indignantly replied
the fellow. “I'm an American Gypsy. I
ain’t dressed in the prevailin’ style, I’m
hungry, an’ I aint got a cent, but yor can’t
class me with the tramps. What’n thunder
is a tramp, anvhow?"
“Well, replied the reporter, “I thought
perhaps you could answer that question."
“Me? No, sirree? Never saw a tramp,
an' nover heard o’ me—’cep’ in perlice
courts. Heap o’ folks talks 'bout tramps,
but ef they mean sech gen'lemen as me,
they’re oil their base. I don't tramp, an’
there’s thonsan's jes’ like me that don’t
tramp. We walks a little, sometimes, but
mos'ly we rides. Why, look here; I lef’
Fluridy las' Ohewaday. lteckon I c’d walk
to this town in six days? No, sirree, I
rode, an' I rode ns free ns the bigges' rail
road pres’dent in the country.”
"How did you manago it?”
“Look here," the fellow said, pulling
from u hidden recess in his coat, a package
of dirty railroad schedules. The reporter
examined them. They were marked “For
the nse of railroad employes only,” and
showed tho arriving and departing time of
every truin at all stations ou the road for
which they had been prepared.
How did you obtain thdsc?"
That’s a secret I never gives sway," the
fellow replied. “Mebbe tho railroads
makes 'em for jes' sech gen'lemen ss me.
Thom little books tells ns where the freight
trains stops, an’ we hangs 'bout until ono
comes ' long at night, an' then we bounces
on. Sometime we gets in an empty car,
sometimes on a bumper, sometimes on the
cow-ketcher o' the engine, an' sometimes
on the back o' the tender. When we gets
ter u atoppin’ place, we jumps off an' waits
till the train sturta on. Then we bounces
her ag'in."
'Do yon ever get put off?"
Well, I should smile.” Tho fellow,
however, did not smile, but looked os if he
wanted to cry. “I've been kicked off,
knocked off, thrown off, an’ beat off. Fac'
is, what I don't known 'bout bein' put off
a train aint worth (earnin'. But I rides, all
the same.”
“While yon are tramp, riding about the
country, don't you often get into trouble
with the police force?"
mntion ordering out the military nrmed and
equipped with ball cartridges at the ringing
of the City Exchange bell, and the hoisting
of the United States flag on the exchange
steeple. The mayor meant business. His
proclamation appeared in the morning
papers and tho news spread like wildfire.
Every man and boy capable of bearing
arms whs on the alert anxiously
listening aud looking for the signals.
At H a. in. the faithful old bell
pealed out from its watch tower the sum
mons to arms. At the same time the stars
and stripes were seen fluttering in the
breeze. A scene of excitement and con
sternation ensued. Men were running
through the streets hither and thither,
some to their homes to don their uniforms,
others, the militia, to the State arsenal for
their equipments. As fast as they were
uniformed tho companies double-quicked
to Spring Hill, where a line of battle was
formed at the head of the Louisville road,
the Chatham Artillery at the head of the
column, with their gnuB mounted in tho
face of the belligerents. Tne Guards,
giddy, gushing colors, with dainty slippers
and patent leathers are in the wicked waltz,
holystoning the stout oak planks of a noble
licet that no foe fears. Then there is race-
week toward tho end of January, and then,
a little Inter on, tho famous carnival. Now,
the oarnival at Nice is no one-horee affair
lasting only a single day. It is a series of
fetes, which commence on the Thursday
before Shrove Sunday and which do not
end until Ash Wednesday. This year these
fetes begin on the 4th of March with the
battle of flowers. On that day every mail
coach, brake, landau, victoria, coupe, cart,
aud thing on wheels ii hidden uudor gar
lands of verdure, under an abundance of
roses, violets, camellias—what not from tbe
floral kingdom. Inside each vehicle are
baskets of cut flowers and little bouquets,
with which the merrymakers pelt each other
as their carriages pass and repass in the
crowded thronghfares. A good hit is sure
to bo rewarded by a hearty laugh, and
many a touch of a well-known rose has
played deuce with the vows of those who
wished to lead a life of single misery.
Carriages cost dear and flowers come
high that day, but everybody has both, aud
tho battle is a furious, funny one, It is
tho rich foreigners that make the best dis
play in this gracious war, which lasts only
two or three honre at the longest. Thore
is fun also on iheiwo succeeding days, and
then on Dimanche Gras twenty or thirty
thousand outsiders come trooping into
town to witness with the eighty thousand
inhabitants the grand corso or detile of all

While Dr. A. H. llatler was In Washington City,
recently, he made Imiulries concerning tbe plena
for Macon's public building, lie found that
ered the Chathams, and the militia cov
ered the battalion of volunteers. The
Georgia Hussars, with Capt. W. W. Gor
don in command, were skirmishing the
approaches to the city.
The Mayor, with staff in hand and ac
companied by Father O'Neal, walked nr.t
in the early morning to the rendezvous of the
belligerents and read to them the riot act,
at the same time giving them some timely
advice. Father O’Neal brought hia priestly
influence to hear, and budo the rioters re
turn to their work. After a little re
flection they decided that discretion
was the bettor pait of valor, and
concluded a treaty of peace with his
honor, with the assurance that they
would not resume hostilities. Had the
crowd hud the rashness to march up in the
face of the defensive column it would have
been mown down to tho last man. The
mayor and priest walked in at the head of
the column at 10 a. m., two hours after
ward, and reported hostilities ceased .and
the belligerents pacified. The column im
mediately broke off into companies, and
they double-quicked to their respective
armories. Thus ended a bloodless war.
Hew many of the veterans of 1837 are there
that cananswer to roll call?
I began work for the Central Railroad
and Banking Company of Georgia on
March 13, 1837, forty-nine years ago to
day, os foreman in the company's then
blacksmith shop on the east bank of' the
Savannah and Ogecchee canal Captain
W. W. Gordon was then president of the
company, and knew no snch word as fail
for his projected road, though many of his
friendB predicted that it would be a failure.
Tho puliu lost confidence In the company’s
paper, which went down to 30 per cent, be
low par vnlue.
Several of the itockholdere became urn
easy and sold out at a great sacrifice, and
hail it not been for Capt. Gordon’s perse
verance possibly the road would not lmvo
lit, at least at that earlv date. Mr.
L. O. Reynolds, the first civil engineer aud
surveyor, was * a high spirited, far seeini
man, and saw no difficulties but what couli
be surmounted. Mr. F. M. Stone, the first
purchasing agent, was a staid old gentle
man, for many years marshal of Ssraunah,
Mr. John McFarland, its treasurer, was a
plain old-fashioned gentleman, full of wit
and hnmor. These worthies have all long
since passed away, hot their worke live after
them.
Tho first locomotivo owned by the Cen
tral was tbe Macon, built in Cnarleston, 8.
C., and brought to Savannah in the spring
of 1838, Mr. Levy brought her out am
ran her. When sne was fired up for trial
great many of the citizens went out to wit
ness the novel sight. Many had never seen
the like before.
The first passenger coach that went out
of Sevan non was built m the company'
shops in the spring ot 1838 by Messrs.
Meeker and George M. Willot, they doing
tbe wood work and the writer the iron
work. The coach was a fine piece of
mechanism, and would compare favorably
with the coachee of to-day, oonsiderii
facilitiea the company then had for doing
work. Its length waa twenty feet, and the
aeats ran lengthwise of the car, with a door
midway on either aide, reached by folding
steps. There was a rail on top to protect
the baggage, «a there were then no baggage
cars. This coach waa tuned out of tin
shops in June, 1838.
Capt. Gordon waa highly elated when his
pioneer coach was turned on*, ard invited

A Texas Ceremony Enlivened by the Ele

Columbia. (Texas) Dispatch to tbe Chicago Times.
An exciting and dramatio incident oc
curred hero last evening. Sunday morn
ing two men rode into town. Their re
markable appeurance at once attracted the
attention of every one. They were covered
with mnd and carried a perfect arsenal of
rifles, platola and knives with them. One
was a man over til), with long, gray hair,
and blood iu his eye; the other was a man
of 30 years, built like a giant and wearing
a terrible scojcl on his face. They were father
and son, Willium Wofford snd Ham Wofford
from tbe backwoods of Matagorda county.
The old man said he was looking for his
"dartor Kate," who had "lit out ’ with her
constn, Rill Wofford. Yesterday the father
and son located the runaway couple, who
were occupying a small fisherman's tent half
a mile oat-side tho town. When old Wof
ford found out tbe location of his erring
"darter” a large crowd of curions men and
boys followed tbe terrible-looking pah to
the vicinity of the tent, as the old man kept
continually examining hia gun and saying:
“Ham, I’m go'en to kill him, siuihr As
they neared the tent the crowd fell hack,
while the old man and hia giant son ap
proached with rides in hand. Suddenly the
nap of the tent was violently thrown
open from the inside and there
stood Bill ami Kate, each bolding
terrible Winchester rifle—ono covering the
old man, the other the son. Old gyayhead
and Ham glared like two a'ild beasts on the
brave lovers, and Bill called ont: “Do you
a'poae I'm gon to give her up arter we done
tramped it all the way from tbe Colorado to
the Brazos? Not ninch; she's mine, and
yon may a tan' there now aud see n* mar
ried." The old man and Ham, nnder the
cover of the suggestive Wiuchustere, slowly
moved hack, all the time facing Bill aud his
Kate, who had the drop on them. ’ Mean
time a courier hud gone to town fo. a li
cense and a preacher, aud after nearly two
housa during which time Bill nnd Kate
never took their eyes off tho old man and
Ham and threatened to kill either ahould he
raise a hand, the preacher and the license
arrived.
Daring tbe ceremony tbe bridegroom kept
his rifle at a half-cock pointing toward his
father-in-law. Tho preacher was so afraid
they wonld open hoitilitics while he was
there that ho could scarcely finish the cere
mony. After the marriage the old man de
livered a terrible enrse on both, said be
would spare th<ir live* now, provided they
never set foot in Matagorda county. “If
yon do,” said he, as hesbook hia long, dhty
yellow locks anil viol ntly struck his rifle
with one band, "if you do, you're both ou
you dead soon as yon cross the line, for
when I'm gone Ham he’s there. You’ve got
the wholo world before you ’cept Matagorda
county. Now go!" With thia philippic the
old man and son departed forlorn, while
Bill pulled down the flap of the tent
