THJI DEAD RAILROAD KING.
JOHN E. THOMPSON. THE LEADER OF MANY LINES A GREAT LIFE WORK. The Philadelphia Bulletin gives these interesting tacts in the life of the dead president of the Pennsylvania and Pan llandla railroad system : Jobn Edgar Thompson, the president of tbe Pennsylvania Railroad Company, kas bern stf ffering lor some time from a complication -of diseases, and during tha past trjree weeks bras been confined to his residence at Eighteenth and Spruce streets, where he Jied 'tetv.een twelve ad one o'ilocft this TOorrrrnar.

prise and early Interest in he cause of in-"
teraal improvement1. ZJuring the- dawning efforts of 'this country to construct canals, towards the close 0? the het centtrry. he wes engaged with tbe celebrated Benjamin H. latrobe. Esq., engineer and architect, in laying out ranal between tte Delaware nnd Chesapeake 'bays, which project tfcen iell through from the -fWilure to raise tbe requisite means to accomplish the object desired. He was siso for several years in the service oi tbe great "Holland Land Com

one of these engagements (l.UJ) fee en

with one assistant and without other tools

conveying the steamer by teams ot oxen
arennd tire Falls of Niagara to Lake Onta
rio, thence to whore Oswego now stands, and up a -small river to Oneida Lake.
After these objects were obtained, Mr Thompson's attention was turned to the completion of a direct line to Cincinnati from Pittsburgh essential to the Pennsylvania Kail road Company to enable it to fret ita fhare of the southwest travel and freight. The Pennsylvania Ilallroad Company, previous to the
ITOAXCIAL had advanced object, but cieut, and the fell Into almost

from which they have been released by the application of means far in advance ol any anticipation formed upon the subject, in consequence of the different character of tbe
osuntry the road traverses, and the unex
fected high prices paid for work during its
construction. During the war Mr. Thompson was ever ready to aid the caase of the Union. His wise counsel and substantial assistance were willingly rendered to the president, In facilitating the prompt forwarding ol
troops and in innumerable ways his services were of vast benefit to the country in time of peril. During tht later years of his nresidencr of

The adoption of these resolutions, or soms

You can put Vigo county down for five hundred majority for this ticket. Tbe i-onvention was the largest held in the county for many years.
