THE LOWELL RAILROAD TROUBLES.
Gre Il excitement has prevailed for some
weeks occa,loned by the difficulties tween
the patrons Of this road and the Company.
ihe Company claim that many persons were
constantly erading the payment Of fares and
they were obliged TO resort TO the present
method which oh iges the season ticket holder
10 show his or her ticket at the Gate and again
III the ears when II is punched; they must also
pas, through the gate just SO long before the
train leaves. or else il i, closed and instead of
selling package tickets they sell one 10 IN.
punched six times. and in passing through the
gale II only admits one. but on the ears /, will
pass six These and ether little annoy ances
nave cfeated much feeling. but the principal
trouble /, the fact Of being oh ICED To show
their tickets. and the consequence is, that the
depot Is nightly = scene Of disorder and con.
fusion. They have policemen stationed there
every night. often as many ~ fifty and hun.
dred and serious trouble has ari, N several
Times between the patrons aud the policemen
Friday evening about four hundred Of them
marched into the depot headed by a band of
music aud carrying banners which bore all
sorts Of threa ening inscriptions. They made
ush for the gate intending TO pass through
but were stopped. and finally had TO Weld. IL
Is well known that such conduct will not have
tendency TO induce the managers to retract.
and Yet the syinpathies Of the public are with
the patrons. and they are unable 20 comprehend
why the company wish to .ake so many Thorn
sands Of people suffer such incon :enienos be,
cause they suspect few have wrOnsed them
OF their just dues.
