consumption brought on by a cold contracted
whllo battling with the Trinity church
llro in 1871. Ho was ono
of the greatest Jlrc-flghtcrs ever
connected with the Omaha department nnd Is
referred to bynll the old-timers as the builder
of the foundation of the present department.
All the companies of Council Uluffs and
Omaha were at his funeral in n body nnd his
iiuino has an honored pluco among Omahas
lire archives. His son Ueorgo Is now captain
of No. ! J chemical. Schlesslnger nnd Novotny
nro gone too , nnd only Gooditch , Knmgo nnd
Winship are left.
In lb ( > 7 , cngino company No. 1 became the
jnoud possessor of u Silby Hteamer and In
honor of the event changed its name to
Omaha No. 1.
The cngino house was then on Twelfth
street , between Farnain nnd Douglas , but In
lb ( > 8 it was moved to Sixteenth .and Farnam ,
on the site now occupied by "tho board of
trndo. Very proud of their engine in those
days The brass was never dim , the red
paint never soiled nnd It would
tnko a very clean handkerchief to
llml dust on the glossy coats
of the team of horses which pulled her. Er
nest Shiik'n was driver , T. L. Van Dorn en
gineer and W. Jcrboy stoker , and to many a
Bivnt fire did they conduct their pet.
There wcro the gas works lire , the Union
Pacific shops llro and the DelndorfC bakery
lircs among them. Tlio last occurred on u
night so bitterly cold that when the engine
stopped pumping for n few minutes she fro/o
up nnd dry goods boxes nnd old lumber had
to be piled around her and set lire before
work could lie continued.
The Hilsby steamer was used for two
years and then shelved to make room for Ne
braska No. .1 when the name of the com-
imny was changed to No. it. The Ne
braska did excellent service till ISM , when
Iho water works were completed with U. A.
Sailer as engineer.
With tlio coming of the water mains , the
ekvtrie alarms and all the ivsit of the metro
politan system , went out the red shirts and
pyrotechnics of the llro service in Omaha ,
No ! l began her new eia under the
water works system with a two-
wheeled cart manned by five men
with C. A. Saltcr acting as captain.
In ISts't a four-wheeled cart w.is purchased
nnd in IbST the company became possessed of
chemical cngino No. U.
From the days of its organization down to
the present , No. ! 1 has been noted for the
work it bus done rather than her dress
intrudes. On the list of her volunteer ineiu-
liers nro the names of Henry Iockfcldt , Lou
Wilson , 1..0U Kamlall and John Lee , , the bravo
men whoso lives were sacrificed nt the Grand

A Peters , George Ketclium , Charles Kapp ,
Hill Flynu , Jerome Pent/el , Hill \Vebb ,
Charles Civcd , George Hoederand others.
Volumes would not contain all the legends
nnd traditions of No. it. Probably the fastest
and most daring hose cart driver in the city
was Kd Kosters , nicknamed "P.iwneo Kd"
who drove tlio famous llro horse "Old
Hollvar. " They were a good pair ; "Old
Hollvar" ran like the wind , and no p.ico was
too fast for Kd. Hollvar is winding up his
long life In peace nnd quiet in Mlko Leo's
bain dreaming of the days when his slumbers
were broken by the sound of a gong.
No. It cngino house is now the most interest
ing of nil the llro stations to the visitor. On
Iho main floor there is behind the chain No.
y clieinic.il gorgeous in polished brass nnd
nickel. On each side in their stalls stnnd the
veteran llro horses 1'cto nnd Dick , always
ready for the summons of the gong. Back of
these is the hugo hook and ladder truck No.
1 , the perpetual admiration of the small boys
nnd many larger boys , and Its heavy team ,
Gray Jim and Hay Jim , Hack of these again ,
facing the entrance fiom the ulloy , is the
chief's buggy , and over each machine Is sus
pended the harness , ready to drop upon the
tmeks of the horses before the gong has llu-
Ished sounding the alarm.
The alarm system Is a stud n Itself. It
consists of the gro.it gong , to which is at
tached n switch , which will either keep the
horses In theirstalls when the alarm is turned
or send them out , as may bo desired ; the
repeater , which simultaneously rouses one or
all of the outlying engine houses , as may bo
desired ; the llro alarm telephone over which
como the "still alarms" sent In from the
police patrol boxes to the operator , who sits
dav and night at his keys In the central
police ) station , and nil the complicated ma
chinery which when the alarm Is turned in
releases chains , bolts and burs , unhitches the
horses , stops the clock ami sends men nnd
horses nt mi instant's notice to their places
on chemical , truck and buggy. Hesldes the
llro telephone there is the city telephone and
ono connecting with the American District
telegraph. There Is also a private alarm
oi > orated by push button from Hector , Wll-
helmy & Co.'s.
The room upstairs looks like the ward of n
hospital with It.s rows of cots. The walls are
one mass of lithographs giving a pictorial his
tory of the drama In Omaha. There are
twelve cots in the room , nml each is so lo.-ated
that Its slumbering occupant springs
from his dre.uus to the sliding
polo nearest him with the least waste
of steps , sliding Into his lire suit on his way
with n single motion.
Just back of the long sleeping room Is the
battery room and the workshop and ofilco of
the lincnu'ii , who also have qmirtors In the
homo of No. : i , with a stall for their horso.
George Coulter , sujiorintcndcnt of ilro and

Hack of this again Is n store room of sup

McKondroo Bungs In New York
Epoch : Within n few miles of its terminus -
minus the rutlroml pas cd through iv
valley , narrow , to bo mire , but of great
nnil unusual beauty. The sides and
cresti of the burrounding hills wcro
dotted with the pretty cottages of biib-
ui'hftn resident ! ) , but the country was not
yet so closely settled aa to have lost all
plcturesquencss , and , although the
houses wore neat , they wcro simple , and
the lawns , though well kept , were btill
umlinlgured ! by brazen or cast-iron stat
uary. Tlio neighborhood had not yet
readied that stage in its development
where its new houses were built upon
uninteresting plans furnished readymade -
made to rural carpentorn by enterpris
ing publishers. Nor had its occasional
churchyard yet lost nil sense of rest and
peace. Simple gravestones there were ,
but no pretentious monuments. But
oven hero death slyly took his victim
unawares or stood forth to fight boldly
lor his own as ho pleased.
It was here that many years before
John Dorsoy had made for himself u
home , and it was hero that ho was now
about to die.
There had been tin accident. It was a
very slight ono , and its cause was almost
ridiculous. John Dorsoy , tlio conductor
of the sleeping car train , had been the
only one hurt. He , however , although
atally injured , suffered almost no pain
and was entirely conscious of hia sur
roundings and condition. lie had In
deed stated his belief that he was to die
long before the doctor had been able to
ascertain the character of his injuries
or to form any opinion of the probable
result. His insistanco upon this oven
annoyed the doctor.
"Doruoy , " ho said , "you must not
speak so. You arc too young to die , and
wo bhall f-avo you. "
As boon as could bo after the accident
Dorhoy had been carried to a neighbor
ing house , and Dr. It-win had been sent
for by men on the train who had known
of the intimate friendship which existed
between the two. This friendship was
of earlier date than Dorsey's connection
with the railroad , and that seemed to
Doi-soy's fellow-employes to have begun
almost ages before.
Although Dorscy had always been as
frank and candid as a man well could bo
in reference to all his later lifcin regard
to his earlier past lie was singularly ret
icent. Among his fellows there had
always been considerable speculation as
to what his youth had been. Some ,
who had known of his intimacy
with Dr. Irwin , and of his ability
to meet , upon terms of personal equality
the high ollicinls of the roadand of their
regard for him , believed that ho had
been an old college friend of the doctor's
and that some accident of fate had made
him a working railroad man while the
doctor had secured his profession.
Others , less charitable , or with an tin-
happier experience of the world , and
ptr//.ed by the reports which reached
them of the repeated refusals of Dorsoy
to take other positions higher and more
remunerative , believed that ho miibt
have committed some crime , and was
therefore careful not to expose himself
to too bright a light. As a matter of
fact , ho and the doctor had been class
mates , but after their graduation they
hud lost sight of each other for a few
years while Dr. Irwin pursued his
studies in various foreign hospitals.
Upon his return from abroad lie had
hoard of the death of Dorsey's wife and
child. IIo had looked Dorsey up and
had expostulated with him upon his
selection of a vocation. But Dorsoy was
silent as to the reason for his choice nnd
quietly porsibtent in his determination
not to change his work if ho could
help it.
But as frequently as ho could Dorsoy
would vibit the doctor and stay with him
as much as possible , and their curly
friendship had grown and ripened.
"Tom , " Dorsey said to tlio doctor
almost upon his arrival , "I am glad
they sent for you , but you cannot do
anything. "
As time went on thodoctor reluctantly
began to believe that Dorsoy was right
that his recovery was impossible.
Deeply as the doctor was grieved ho
was annoyed , too , to feel that his bklll
would be of no avail to his old friend.
"Why did you follow such an infernal
business''ho ; iwkeil impatiently.
"Don't , Tom , " Dorsev replied. "Don't
call it that. "
"And why should you bo the only ono
to bo hurt1'
"Was 1 the only ono ? " Dorsoy asked.
"yes. "
"That is strange , maybe , " Dorsoy
said , and then his calmness , which had
been so remarkable , deserted him , hut
only for a minute.
"What caused the accident ? " ho asked.
"Do they know ? "
"Yes , " the doctor replied , and ho told
of the little huul-td.ida which the engi
neer had scon almost in time , but not
quite , and the engine had run into with
barely enough foreo to jar tlio train its
length. "Wo suppose , " ho added , "that
yon must Imvo boon shaken between two
cars in some way. "
"Will it hurt mo to talk ? " Dorsoy
asked.
"Xo , " the doctor nnhwored. i *
"And my brain is entirely clear ? "
"t'ertalnly , " tho'doctor replied , won
dering a little.
"Then lot mo toll you a great deal. I
had a fondness always for all cars nnd
trains. The earliest , the pleasantcst re
collection I have is of the noise of coup
ling of cars as they were made into trains
in the yards. No muMo was over so
sweet to mo IIH that. I used to spend all
the time I could watching the trains
made up and going. No novel over
pleaded me so. They made mo go through
college , you know. I have never regret
ted it , but then I wanted to bo an engi
neer. That seemed the only place worth
having.
"Thou yon wont abroad and I married.
I have always regretted that you never
know Mary.
The doctor interrupted : "You must
not tell mo this If it will distress you. "
"U does not. I want to tell you ; I have
so many times wanted to tell you about
her , anil all. It is easy to seohor now as
bhu used to Hit sometimes with her head
upon my knee , and hoi- big blue eyes
looking into minebo trustfully. She had
faith in mo. " And ho paused a little.
"Yes , and it yladdcns mo bo now I
think It was. Matters , too , looked well
for UP. Success seemed worth striving
for. Mary was jealous n little of my
love for tiio railroad. I nlway love to
it , ns I paid. I was in business then , but
our little home was close by the lino. I
could hear the trains go b'y all night if
I happened to be awake. You can sco
the house now from the window yonder.
Lift mo up a little . o. Mary at llrst
hated the railroad , but she got used to
the noise , and I think after n little she
paid no attention to it. She furnished
our house prettily and wo were happy ,
but she would ask mo to conquer my
liking for the railroad. She feared that
I could not bo lit for anything else , my
thoughts were PO occupied with it , but I
laughed gently at her nnd went on in
the same way and with the name hopes.
She never doubted my love and nho
used to say that ( -01110 time I would obey
her slightest wish and follow her wherever -
over she might lead. It may bo there
was a little complaint in her manner.
"When tlio baby was born a love of
the railroad seemed to have been born
in her. She would ns soon as she could
claj ) her little hands at the sound of the
engine whistle. As she grew older wo
called her Mary , too she would ask mo
in her baby way to come early to bee the
trains go. I 'needed no urging nnd
when I could I would. Out
there on the grass wo would
sit , nnd I would toll her of all the
strange places wo sometimes would go on
the cars to sec. Even then in fancy little
Mary and I would go with tlio trains all
over the world. It was rare sport to
her. "
Doivoy had spoken as rapidly as ho
could , but now ho talked more slowly.
"Ono day I was ill at case. Nothing
that I had to do seemed worth while. I
only wanted to bo at home ; I only
wanted to feel them near mo , and safe.
But try as I would , it was Into in the
long afternoon before I could get away.
It was warm , but as I hurried homo a
gentle brec/.o met me. It was a bright ,
beautiful day , just such a summer's day
as this. It was BO peaceful , and the
leaves so kissed ono another in the light
breeze that 1 was calmed and the feeling
I had suffered from all day loft mo. I
was glad that wo lived in the country. I
was glad to bo alive at all , The sun was
almost behind the western hills and all
that side of the valley was in shadow ,
but on our side it was light and every
thing was rarely beautiful in the sun
light. The slanting rays made our
house brilliant and glorious in its color.
"As I neared homo Mary came to the
door , and I could sco her welcoming
smile. Then , shading her eyes with her
hand , she looked over toward the rail
road , and in a minuuto screamed and ran
rapidly from the house. Alarmed and
wondering I ran after her. Down below
on the track stood little Mary , her curls
and all her pretty ribbons lluttering in
the wind. Around tlio short curve came
suddenly the fntt express , and the child ,
as she saw the great engine bearing
down upon her and heard the startling
whibtle , waved her little hat as though
in greeting.
"Another minute and Mary would
have been in time. Her dress caught in
something , or she stumbled , and was so
delayed ; but she recovered herself
quickly , and hurrying on caught little
Mary in her arms , and then it ought
to bo easy to tell it now. "
For some little time Dorsoy was silent.
The doctor did not ask him to continue
nor did he urge him to stop when Dorsey
began again :
"For Mary it was over at once , but our
child , held lirmly in its dead mother's
arms , lived a little while. I think she
must have been hurt as I have been.
She could speak , and when they brought
her to mo she put her little arms about
my neck and said : 'I am going with the
cars now. '
"It many seem strange to you , ' ' Dor. = oy
went on shortly , "but the railroad had si
greater fascination for mo than over. I
staid about the cars and trains as I had
in my boyhood. I almost feared they
would order mo away from the yard.
"My business went to nothing just
then. Perhaps my neglect hurt it , but 1
think not. At all events I gave it up.
Then I secured a place as brukoman
without much trouble. "
"Was that pleasant ? " the doctor asked.
It was easier to interrupt Dorsey now.
"Yes , to me , " he answered , "but btill
I was glad when I was promoted , as 1
was through the various grades to boa
conductor. "
"lias there been no chance for further
promotion in all these years ? "
"Oh , yes ; but I have never wanted to
leave my train. After a long while T
applied for the place in the faleeping-
cnrs. "
For a while neither bpoke. The
doctor , keenly observant , thought that
Dorsoy had more to tell ; but ho waited
patiently.
"Life has gone very evenly and
smoothly with mo since then until last
night. Until last night , " ho repeated
slowly
"Well , what happened then ? " the
doctor asked as Dorsoy paused ,
"The train had been made up with the
sleepers first , nearest the engine. I was
standing on the platform waiting for the
starting signal to bo given , whim sud
denly a woman passed mo. Something
about her her disordered hair maybe-
attracted my attention ; but before I
could look more closely at her an engine
behind mo whistled sharply , and I
turned to sco what was the trouble.
Later , as , 1 passed her on the train , her
face scorned to bear a strange , far-oil' re
semblance to borne familiar one , but I
laughed at what I thought my foolish
fancy. There wcro very few in the first
blooper , and I returned to it after I had
made my first trip through the ears. I
seated myself opposite , across the aisle ,
from this woman. I thought it strange
that although the other passengers had
had their berths made up she had not ;
but the porter was within hereasy reach
and I did not feel it necessary io offer
her any service.
"Sho was alone in her section. She sat
quietly for the most part , looking out of
the window , although the night was very
dark. Sometimes she would become
restless and excited. 1 thought her very
nervous and that the frequent whistling
of the engine startled her. As I remem
ber it now it beems to mo that she be
came excited a little before the blowing
of the whistle. After a while 1 closed
my eyes it may bo I fell asleep but 1
was recalled to myself by a very unusual
and prolonged whistle of the engine.
( Our engineer was determined , it seemed ,
that none of ns should sleep that night. )
AB I opened my eyes this strange woman
came in from the front. Where she hud
been 1 do not know , but there was a
bright and happy light in her eyes. Per
haps I should have spoken to her , but I
was very tired and the temptation to rest
there quietly was a very strong one.
"In u few minutes I surely fell asleep
I Know I broke the rules , but it was foru
minute only I surely foil asleep , for I
dreamed that dreadful day over again.
Once more I was rudely awaked by the
engine's whibtle. AH I started up a cold
wind blowing through the door mot mo ,
nnd there stood the strange woman hold
ing the front door open looking out into
the night , llor hair hail fallen looo us
Mary's was that day. It was Mary. I
hurrled toward her.
"With u look of confidence and almost
a binllo of welcome , she turned to beckon
mo on. She sprang upon the tender and
Inughed joyfully , and it seemed to mo
bho danced there. In another moment I
would , have hold her in my arms. Then
