Amioorr.—Early on Saturday morning, the 14th, it '
was discovered that the engine in reserve to take the '
trains to sad from the Poole and Poole Junction

special trains in the small hours; so the cause had to !
be inquired into. It was found that the engine-cleaner '
had, contrary to orders, taken the "Iron horse" under
his oars for a little gentle Inertias at (our o'clock in
the morning, and that is running down the line he had
