Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Vol. 2 of 2: With Plan of Organization, Portraits of Officials and Biographical Sketches Duty had only to be presented to him, without outlining the man ner of performance, to insure conscientious and speedy attention at his hands. Always a master of details, it has never been necessary for him to st0p and measure their value. They have rushed with mighty strides before his mind and led him to sound conclusions. A man of wonderful self-control, his poise has ever been the same, whether amidst the whirling of machinery, the din of battle, the rumbling of trains, the rush of business, in the delights of the chase, the halls of entertainment, or the quiet of the fireside. With that poise he steps to the front in his chosen profession as a leader; and, as the New York Herald truly says of him, No emergency can arise, so far as the Pennsylvania Railroad is con cerned, that will not be met with the intrepidity and wisdom shown in his long and honorable career.
