ter balloting eleven times, and running

The votes of the pr6hibitionists were
sufficient to prevent the election. The
large majority of them were formerly
republicans, and had they voted &C
cording to the party they formerly
voted with, Col. Stearns, the republic
can candidate, could have been elected

The lookout on the first engine claims that he
did not see the red light. The other man testi-
fed that he saw it when about 1900 feet from
the station, and yet he reported all right to the

light meant anything, as nobody used it,
These men are guilty of gross negligence as
Is also the rear brakeman OF the sixth section
for while he had ample time to go back at least
half mile with his red light, ne went less
than 400 feet
The conductors of both sections failed in their
duty-one in not conforming to the rule re-
qulr; each conductor to see personally that
his b. Eemen protects the rear of his train, and
the other ii not requiring his train to approach
the station under control.
