The Railroad Mems Evening.

prayer meeting was especially in the inter-
est of men employed on herailroads. The
meeting was led by Col. Jas. II. Skinner.
Capt. VIM. A. McCue made Some remarks
containing statements peculiarly interest
ing to railroad men. There are 100000
railroad employees in this country and
only 5000 of them are members of the Y.
M. G. A. but so marked was the influence
of this small number for good, that Van
derbilt, Scott, Garrett, and other railroad
magnates subscribed 800 each to aid asso-
Citations among the men on their roads. In
the great railroad strike the Christian rail-
roadmen in Cleveland, Ohio, saved that city
from destruction. In the Union Passen-
ger Depot at Cleveland the Depot COM
pany five years ago provided handsome
room at cost of So 900, warmed and light
ed for the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation Capt. McC's address was instruc-
tive and impressive and he severely COM
mented on Sabbath railroading.
Prayers were offered up by Messrs. A.
M. Simpson and Charles Grattan.
