Once there lived man of honor in the balmy
days OF old, who believed that right was better

world he journeyed. doing good On every hand;

ever uttered To the weary and distressed, ever was

never was he deaf TO pleading TO the waiting voice.

there was a famous singer who had never caught

Knew Nothing Of Running Engines.
ASTONISHING TESTIMONY ABOUT THE NEW CHICAGO,
BURLINGTON AND QUINCY ENGINEERS.
Further testimony was taken yesterday before
the Illinois state railroad and warehouse commits
sion In the matter of the alleged incompetency Of
men in charge OF the engines on the Chicago, Bur-
nngton and quincy Railroad. Several OF the new
engineers were placed on the stand, testifying to
what experience they had when assigned to their
present places. II appears that all had knowledge
OF The road and OF the rules governing engineers,
but none were possessed OF either practical or
theoretical knowledge OF running an engine.
The quietude which followed the attempt to boy
colt the Burlington Cars Was rudely broken in
Chicago yesterday by rumor which gained ere
dence among the more radical OF the BurlingtOn's
ex-employes that the brakemen OF the road, in
conjunction with such yardmen Of the 81" as are
known TO be loyal 70 the Brotherhood and the
union. were preparing for shutdown along the
whole line.
