BOARnING TRAINS.
Two Striking FIremen of the T.. ana
n Read Pud Under Aeayy Bond,
for Such An Act.


Tho case of Charles Myers and John
Dyler, the striking fremen who
boarded the midnight train on the
Louisville and Nashville road at the
junction, last Friday, and attempted
to take the fireman from his post, was
called yesterday morning in the City
Court, and the offense of assault and
battery was clearly established, but
not the charge of highway robbery.
1t appeared that these men board
ed the train, Myers telling Howard,
the fireman to get of, to which Hoy-
ard replied q You can not do it,
when the boarders said they would
tmow him off Howard replied that
two could play at that game, and
seized pistol, after which a violent
scufie commenced, in which Howard
was thrown to the floor. The engi-
neer got possession of the pistol, when
the boarders jumped from the train.
Another fireman, Taylor, was as
saulted that night on a freight train,
the bOarders getting in on both sides
of the engine, saying to him: "D-n
you, you can't fire this engine out of
here" One was armed with a coup
ling pin, the other had nothing.
Their attempt. however, to Gust the
fireman was, as in the former case,
Intellectual: In passing sentence,
Judge Price said: "TheSe people
are contending for right they do not
possess. Railroad travel now forms Il
great portion of the travel, and such
acts as this make that kind Of travel
very perilOus. / want every one to
know that the law is stronger than
any other arm. and in such cases as
this the severest penalty that can be
inflicted will be imposed when they
come to trial. 1t shocks every one
all good people. The train might
have been wrecked through such con-
duet. This is no robbery, but it is
assault and battery; laying hands
upon the parties, handling them
roughly, trying to throw them from
the train. 1t might have caused
collision on that part of the road. l
believe acts of this sort endanger hui
man life. Let these parties, therefore,
give bail in the sum of $500 to APP
pear to answer any Indictment that
may be brought in this court, and
give bonds for $1,000 each for one
year to keep the pence"
Major Kinney endeavored to get
the bonds reduced, but Mr. Boland
argued against it, urging that bond
OF $4,000 would not be too heavy,
inasmuch as it was not merely one
mans life that was in jeopardy. a
collision or other accident might have
arisen. 1t endangered the lives of
every one on board-every one in
the vicinity. The train might have
gone a long without danger, or it
might have met danger within ten
yards.
Judge Price refused to alter the
bond, and the case remained As de-
termined by him.-C0urier Journal,
18th.

IA Florida for Hayes last Friday.

The New York San is not much in
love with the Electoral Commission,
and thus gives Us az idea Of the conf
dence felt by it in the business of the
verdict to be expected from that
quarter:
If the Electoral Commission had
been composed of fifteen eminent Doc
tors of Divinity, eight Of whom were
arleut Republicans, and seven were
ardent Democrats; if the questions
involved had been thoroughly argued,
and the commission had then prayed
over them for 4 week, does anybody
doubt that, at the close of the eXercis-
Is, eve.Y important question would
have been decided by 4 vote Of eight
: 10 seven?
Such is political human nature.
