With the death of Dr. Coleman Sell-ers which occurred at Philadelphia onDecember 28 the country has lost oneof the most eminent engineers that theAmerican continent has engineering has lost onewhose actual experience bridged thespan between the primitive forms ofmotive power and the modern locomo-tive that seems to have reached thelimit of weight and power.

The Sellersdrifted into various industrial lines inwhich they have always been celebratedfor superior mechanical ability. Cole-man Sellers, Sr., the father of Colemanunder notice, carried on an engineeringbusiness in Philadelphia. In 1835 thefirm built two locomotives for the Phil-adelphia & Columbia Railroad whichhad several original features, amongthem counterbalance in the drivingwheels.
