tary and treasurer of the company,
said that though circumstances
seemed to indicate that Conductor
Glenn, of the Accommodation train,
was to blame for not holding his
train at Ashland, as directed, they
would not wish to throw the respon-
sibility upon his shoulders as yet. He
is a sober, we'll educated, cautious
and in every way reliable man, one
| of the best in the employ of the com
pany in fact, and as he has not yet
made a statement, they would await
his explanation before publicly an
nouncing any opinion.
