There was very lively scrlmma9e about
the Pennsylvania depot yesterday after
noon. Owing to some delay in the Phil

the men did not arrive at the usual time.
Yesterday was the regular monthly paw
day. The men to the number Of several
hundred gathered about the paymaster's
office. When they were told that their
checks were not ready they became very
demonstrative and some three hundred
freight brakemen from the Cove declared
they wouldn't work unless they got their
checks.
Active telegraphing from the Superin-
tendent's office brought the cheeks over
on the 3.Ss train, and Immediately on

frowns, and the railroad boys went of to
