Steam in Railroad Car. Persons who are in
the habit of riding in railroad cars and stages,
and especially Ladies, are well aware of the ex-
IRENE annoyance it Is to have intoxicated men
placed alongside of them in the cars, making use
Of profane language and otherwise annoying the pas
sengers These characters we are sorry to say, are
too frequently allowed to enter these public conveyan
ces much to the dscredt Of drivers and conductors
On Saturday last three young Of rather gentee
appearance by the names Of Edward Colgan, Henry
II Merrill, and VIM. j. McDermott, were on visit, in
the vicinity Of 9th street. where they had been
ealing themselves sherry cobblers, mint jueps and
brandy smsshes until they became, from the pressure
Of steam created by the smashcs, horses
and foolish asses; under this state of feeling
they entered the railroad short distance from
27th street. where were seated ladies gentle

turn of the steam by ejectng the troubleome young
men and thereby relieve the passengers OF the nuisance
In order to do this the conductor requested them
politely to leave the two of them after few words
obeyed the mandate, but the third refused and only
returned insult for injury; consequently the conduc
tor took hold Of him to put him out when he seized
the conductor by the collar tusse cnsued, which
terminated by the young receiving kick on the
fehy part of his body carrying him out of the car at
railroad speed and thus the was relived OF the
supersbundance of steam The young men, feeling
their honor touched at being so summaraly elected
took stage and followed after the towards the
Tombs in order the conductor arrested for the
assault On nearing the Tombs, the conductor

John Davis who arrested all three them

the annoyance Of the other passengers. The magis-
trate on this charge held them severaly to bail in
the sum of 5000 each for their future good conduct in
default OF which they detained few hours in
prison before liberated bail We are much pleased
to this kind Of diorderly conduct recognised by
the magistrate, and the aggressors punished; for in
