Conductor 90 OF the Second Avenue Rail.

Nineteenth Ward"
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The letter which was written for Conductor so
and published in your paper yesterday will not
smooth over the cause 1t to be lost sight Of
The conductors letter does not my charges,
but simply adds to them by deliberate falsinca-
tons. do not propose to deal with this fellow at
oil. Ipropose to deal with the company whose
agent has committed 80 outrageous an assault on
the travelling community in my person. Solely
with the view to place the matter in the plainest
shape before the public, shall merely add that the
answer to my letter is purposely eva
sive. 1t does not deny that / was charged
six cents for my child while other
passengers were only charged three cents. 1t
does not deny that the money which belonged to
the company was wantonly thrown after me into
the street by this gentlemanly conductor, whose
name, 1t appears Is A. g. Maynard. If he had no
right to charge six cents for my child he should
have returned the three cents when I spoke to
him first about It. II he had a right to charge six
cents then nothing 1 said ought to have Induced
HIM to pay me back what he says did not belong to
me. At all events either three cents or six cents
belonged 10 the company, and there was no excuse
for throwing the company's money into the street.
You see am solicitous about the company's in
terests in this matter well as my own Interests,
for which hope the President aud Superintend-
emit will be duly grateful.
This poor, oppressed conductor, who so patheti-
cally styles himself Zone OF that hard working ana
much abused class called conductors" draws
touching picture OF how he was wronged by myself
and an 'old man." who called HIM "thief and liar
and other opprobri0us epithets." He is shocked,
Also because used such q dreadfully slang term
as scowardly backdown." Well, have no doubt
the old gentleman will weep when he reads con-
for myself I shall certainly consider the propriety
OF taking lessons poitesse from the Chesterfield
disguised as . conductor.
lfappears thar have narrowed this conductors
feelings, Also Dy needlessy insulting Superintend-
emit smith, whom the citizens OF the Nineteenth
ward and patrons OF the road generally know too
well to believe that the fear Of iurther insult de-
ferred the Lady OF the Nineteenth WARD from
anne Ealing to him II she deemed herself aggrieved."
Well am sorry shall have to deprive Chester
ned MAYNARD OF even this pretty little chance to
lean on Mr.. Smith. do not know Mr. Smith N.Y.
self and do not doubt his virtues. But Mr.. Smith
will allow me to state that the best way to merit
the praises OF the patrons OF the road is to rid 1t OF
drivers However, Mr.. Smith, 'tbe fear OF further
insuItn was not from you, but from the conductor,
whose abusive tongue apprehended might follow
me even into your sanctum, and had no desire to
listen to 1t further. -
This is the only reply ! have to make. win you
kindly allow me to add that would be grateful n
the gentleman who interfercd in my behalf, and
the other passengers who witnessed the occur
renee would send their names to you, so that
NAV communicate with them
LADY OF THE NINETEENTH WARD.
