First Train Entering Decatur Marked A Great Achievement: Event Occurcd In 1871

(By F. Q.) The first train entering into Decatur — Wonderful incident — Epochal marvel — Magnificent achievement — Please do not laugh, it is and was no laughing matter. A real train, led by a leal steam engine and a wood burner to boot, by gosh. Seven flat cars, each at least twenty feet long and at their tail a caboose a red caboose and mark the engine, marvel of marvels, one and a half times larger than a Ford touring car, with a smoke stack bellowing out balionically and with a fire box guaranteed to take in regular cord wood of six feet of a lengthness. A first box with an insatiatlable appetite, yet with epicurean tastes, perferring walnut, quarter sawed oak and axe handle hickory, disdaining anything less costly. Perched precariously about that engine was a chaffeur of pioneer mien ahd a mechanician with splinters in his hands. in she came with flats and red caboose following obediently behind albeit alt a little wobbly, and with a squeak of granding brakes applied by sturdy muscled lads, both fore and aft. the behemoth parked according to regulations at the farthest north of the rails, seventy miles from Richmond and with Winchester more than twenty miles away. This all happened one sunny day in the year of Our Lord, 1871. For months and months and months the great day had been looked forj ward to. Slowly and with everlasting hardship the two shining strips of iron (not steel) had crept their sinuous way across hill and dale, across clay and muck, across the dreaded Limberlost. and now. praise be, had reached Decatur, as far as Madison street, and the populace was shouting Folks had reason to shout. The Cincinnati, Richmond and Ft. Wayne railroad to run from Richmond to Ft. Wayne was some undertaking. Money? O boy, money was scarce. Uncle William Parry of Richmond was a wonderful old Quaker gentleman and by the same token was a game old sport. Was not afraid to boost. Was not afraid to “hitch his wagon to a star.” Not he. and he was •iw backbone. I reckon you might say, of the whole project, and his enthusiasm and tremendous energy put the forwarding looking lads all , along the line to work and a like ; crowd of boosters, workers and spenders has been rarely seen in old Indiana. Money? You bet they had to have money. Uncle Parry knew how to I ask for money. He and his compaI triots had the everlasting nerve to I ask poor little old Adams county of : the year 1870 to dig down and put the > awful sum (awful is right) of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars into the pot and take therefor a little - bunch of steel engraved stock certificates, that now\ alas, repose dustfnlly tn the archives of the county court house at Decatur, with none so poor as to do 1 them reverence. Adams county never got a cent of that money back but she got the first train and many trains thereafter and a bully chance to shout on that lovely day of ’7l. For nearly two weeks word had been passed ardttnd that soon or sooner that grand entry would be made. Some excitement? Some anticipation? You better believe there ■ was Now suppose for instance; you e and yours were a family in habitation e seven and a quarter miles due east by nor' east from Decatur. Between v s you and said town was a clearing

called by courtesy a highway, macadamized with mud eleven "feet deep. You and the wife and the kids only got to town on the ,4th of July and at tax paying time and your nearest neighbor lived in the next township. You were perfectly aware of what was going to happen as regards that railroad and its rolling wonders. Had you not been notified that you had in a highfalutin' way voted against yourself a yearly tax for said railroad that would take all the cows and shoats you conld raise in a generation to pay for? So, we say, you would be aware of what was going to happen and feeling that you were interested both financially and morally, you would just naturally have a fever. All right. Word would Aorne in the way word used' (j> „cm»e before they had telephones, that on a certain day after breakfast the too-too would toot for the Madison street crossing. What would you and yours have done? It is to be presumed that you would get up before the rooster had batted an eye lid and do the chores and rustle rhe corn pone and the sowbelly and hitch up Buck and Berry to the chariot and the whole darn family would be on their way. Weil, that is what they did. Others did the very same thing. It is to be remembered that there were gentlemen then living in the environs of our county seat who had whiskers that had to be braided before they could -climb a fence, who bad never a locomotive, let alone a red caboose. It is also to be remembered that there were public officials at that time who also had never seen the monsters — even though they had been to Monroeville, where the Pittsburgh railroad was—because whiskey was 120 proof in Monroeville’those days and it was a long time between trains. All right. Picture to yourself the scene. Locomotive snorting and smoking, flat cars wobbling, red caboose bobbing, train men tableuing, populace staring. An old friend of mine, who has lived in Decatur for about forever, said to me “Did you ever hear of the time the old gentleman Parry and Judge Studabaker went to New York to see Jay Gould?” “Sure I heard the story" says I, “but go ahead and tell it to me again.” "Well,’ says he, “you see this is how it was: Mister Parry was a Quaker, only about five feet four ■ and as wide as a tub. always wore a ■ Prince Albert coat and a huge flat topped broad brimmed beaver hat, i which was odd enough when attached i to him, and he had a voice like a fog ■ horn and a grip like a stevedore, i Well, he and the Judge had had writt Ings with Jay Gould with the idea in > mind of having Jay take a goodly ■ bunch of the railroad's bonds and it i might be said that at that time they > had not the slightest intention of - making Jay a present of the capital r stock of the railroad, they not knowt ing Jay very well, and so at last they r got an appointment to meet Jay in s New York to complete the ileal. The r Judge bought a new plug hat and the 1 old gentleman Parry wore his beaver r and away they went. f "In a couple of weeks they got to New York along before supper some 1 time and the Judge says to Uncle r William that now we can get a good b rest and be fresh to see Gould bright i- and early in the morning. ‘ Nay, e friend David, said Uncle Parry, ‘not a so, thee and me shall scg Jay this n very night.’ says he. They voted aye t and no, but Uncle Parry had the n strongest voice. They registered at g the best tavern in town and had a

|. supper of gooji tilings to eat of what- ■ fever it was they had to eat those j days, but both lieing teetotalers they I simply ‘et’ as one might say. i “After this duty had been performed. Uncle Parry approached the desk of the host and says he, ‘Can thee tell me where I can find Jay Gould, we have important business with him?' ‘Certainly.’ says mine host-, the i landlord. 'Mr. Gould is on the fourth and top floor attending a ball. Mrs. Gould abetted by her husband are entertaining a couple hundred elite i with a considerable sprinkling of prospective railroad stockholders.’ ‘Thank thee, my friend,' said Uncle Parry and with a ‘follow’ thou me. David,’ marched sturdily up the four flights of stairs, Studabaker following hesitatingly. “All was gayiety on the party floor. Fine gentlemen and finer ladies in their gladdest 1870 glad rags were terpsichoring. Still sturdily, this wonderful little old Quaker strode into the almost center of the ball room, the Judge halting at the doorway. Ail astonished eyes were on that queer old figure, sensing his sterling worth and the naive simplicity of a child — as he peered from one to another. I with his broad brimmed Iw-aver on, mind you — Quakers did not remove their hat within doors, you know — and from that great chest came the thundering request for information that shook the candles out of the chandeliers. “Is Jay Gould in here?” Quickly from among the throng a little grey bearded man stepped forward and with kindly courtesy said, 'That is my name.’ 'I am glad to meet thee, friend Jay,’ said Uncle William grabbing Gould's hand in a I mighty clasp that made Gould wince. Friend Studabaker and 1 have come to see thee, and we have little time ( to waste, hast thou leisure now?’ 'lf | the ladies and gentlemen will excuse me. I have,' answered Gould and they having smilingly assented the great i railroad magnate and the grave old t Quaker and his friend walked off together for an half hour confab that

was resumed the next morning to a satisfactory ending.' Yes, Uncle Parry got the money and the Pennsylvania Railroad company ultimately got the railroad, but that is another story. Well anyway, that was a great day in Decatur. There was hardly a dry eye in town. For that matter there was hardly a dry whisker. A goodly number of kegs of nails were opened up. A good time was had by all. The town marshal called a moratorium for the day. The evening shadows came at last and Pa and Ma and their brood hitched Buck and Berry into their wooden harness and ‘twas the end of a perfect day. So progress makes her mighty sweep. The marvel becomes the commonplace. The ambitions of men are never stilled. It seems to me. we can well afford to halt in our mad impetous rush and tip our hat to the memory of Uncle William and our own brave boys of Adams county, who were not afraid to do and vote and pay. tPIMiI VI'VIF.XT OF lIIMIMSTH Vrok* XO.
