il Is thought by some that the conductor
Of the o. G. P. train was not justified in
starting from the station when the other was
in sight.
We presume II the truth was known,
that the great fault lies in the feeling Of ri-
valry and antagonism between the two roads
The spirit Of opposition cherished by the
respective companies is psrtaken Of by the
employees. The engineers, therefore, may
each feel desire 10 out.do the other
Hence the fact that the train on the o. g. P.
road started out when the other was in sight,
and the desire Of the Pittsburgh train to ar.
rive in time for the connection.

most unfortunate in its consequences, brings
