RAILROAD INCIDENT Railroad men
in the discharge of their duties often
experience rich things which seldom
become public. We will give one
case. One of that class of iudividu,
ais who are always "dead broke ;"
had occasion to 60 to Columbus one
day last week, and made ur his mind,
as preliminary, that he would travel
on his good looks. Having thus de.
cided, he took seat in the splendid
saloon cars of the Central Ohio Rail-
road, putting on as many airs as if he
had pocket full of "rocKs," The
train had nearly reached ClaypooPs,
before the Conductor, whom we call
Jones had reached our dead-head
friend in his round of collecting tickets
and fare.
Your ticket, ifyou please, said the
Conductor.
Haven't any said dead head.
Where are you goingg inquired
the Conductor
Columbus, replied deadherd.
'S2 TO- said Jones.

our dead head acquaintace.
you must pay your fare, or get off
the train, said the Conductor.
Stop her. quietly remarked our
dead head
The train was stopped, and he was
left on the side OF the road, to await,
as ho said, the next train, on which he
succeeded in getting The same
scene transpired, ending by dead-head
telling the conductor to stop her, and
he being again LETT on the side Of the
road. Train after train was boarded,
and each put him off little nearer
Columbus. The last train on which
he got was that of our friend Jones,
who was on his return trip from Be-
laire to Columbus. Dead head got on
his train at Pataskala and it was un'
der full headway before he being dis
covered by the Conductor.

'Stop her, quietly remarked dead
