Events

March 9

1799 – Congress contracted with Simeon North of Berlin, CT for 500 horse pistols, costing the government $6.50 each. Horse pistols, for those of you born after 1800, were large pistols that used to be carried by — you guessed it — horsemen. 

1832 – Abraham Lincoln of New Salem, IL announced that he would run for political office for the first time. He sought a seat in the Illinois state legislature. ‘Honest Abe’ was not successful. Less than thirty years later, however, he became President of the United States.

1858 – Albert Potts of Philadelphia, PA opened his letter box to find that he had been awarded a patent for — his lamppost-mounted letter box. Way to go, Albert!

1859 – The National Association of Baseball Players adopted a rule that limited the size of bats to no more than 2-1/2 inches in diameter.

1929 – Eric Krenz of Palo Alto, CA became the first athlete to toss the discus over 160 feet. He bettered the old mark by 8-3/4 inches.

1949 – The first all-electric dining car was placed in service — on the Illinois Central Railroad. Passengers enjoyed all-electric cooking between Chicago and St. Louis.

1954 – WNBT-TV (now WNBC-TV), New York, broadcast the first local color television commercials — for Castro Decorators of New York City. Castro were the folks who made the Castro convertible sofa beds. The TV commercial featured a little girl (a member of the Castro family) opening a big couch into a bed. It was so-o-o easy! Let me see you try it.

1964 – The U.S. Supreme Court issued its New York Times vs. Sullivan decision. The court ruled public officials who felt they had been libeled could not recover damages for newspaper and broadcast reports related to their official duties unless the officials could prove actual malice on the part of the news organization.

1987 – Chrysler Corporation offered to buy American Motors Corporation on this day. The car maker offered up to $1 billion dollars for the financially troubled AMC. Remember the Gremlin? How about the Rambler American — the car with seats that recline to a completely horizontal position?

1997 – Rapper The Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie) was returning to his hotel in Los Angeles, California after an awards party. A car pulled up beside his and opened fire. Biggie was killed almost instantly.
