into the office of the president of the
railroad and laid the fact before him,
With a request that the conductor be
either discharged or reprimanded.
The railroad official calmly paid him
hack the money which he had given
tbe conductor for his fare, and Mr..
HAYES resumed his journey in hap
pier frame of mind. The conductor,
when he found out that the president
of the United States had made a COM
plant against him was very apprehen-
sive, and his fears of dismissal was by
no means allay.edwhen he received
summons from the president OF the
road to 90 at opce to headquarters.
When he arrived Mr.. Hayes story was
repeated to him, and he was asked if
he had ANYTHING to say. Mr.. Conduc-
tor took the rules out of his pocket and
read them, saying that he saw nothing
in them that exempted any passenger,
even so high parsonage as the presl-
dent of the United States. He was
then told that, so far from it being the
purpose of the president of the road to
dismiss him for breach of the rules
he was to be Immediately promoted to
u
much higher salary, for his faithful
ness.
"How do you get along with the
tramping faternity?" the writer asked
the conductor of a west going train.
"Oh, we have some funny adven-
lures with Them" was the answer.
"Nearly all of those who beat their
way have money, and prefer to take
the risk incident to stealing ride than
to paw their fare. In an accident some
weeks ago beat was killed who had
on his person over $500, and papers
showing him to be the proprietor of a
livery-stable in California. 1t is re-
markable how persistent some of them
can be. Six of them secreted them
selves in the water-tank of dead en-
cine that was being hauled in the mid
die of freight train, and, when dis
covered, refused to come out, and told
the conductor that they would like to
see him crawl in there and put them
out. A better plan suggested itself,
that of pulling the engine up to the
tank and drowning them out: They
capitulated when six inches OF ice cold
water had been soused upon them;
and all came forth like drowned rats,
with the exception of big Irishman
who could not force himself through
the hole until the engineer had lubri-
Gated him with black oil.
"Bootblacks that are up to the time
never pay fare. They wait until the
train is under Roadway, run along be-
side a car, catch on to the irons of the
door, swing themselves under and find
a comfortable seat on a brake-beam,
where they while away the time play
ing cards and sleeping, and enjoying
themselves as much as those who may
be reclining on cushioned seats imme-
diately over them. Brooklyn Eagle.
