And Miss Wilson got nut OF the room

Bertha prilcd herself upon being both

John Raeburn was a good scholar, an
excellent lawyer and a gentleman in
every sense of the word. but In regard
to the fair sex he was most u~naccounta-
ably shy.
Not that he was not capable OF as sim
cere. deep and ardent an attachment as
any man. but the very intensity of feel

and aggravating sense of every real or
fancied deficiency or impeachment that
might interpose q barrier between him.

spOndence.
BY turns he has been Interested. au-
gered or amused at the letters that have
poured In upon him. He said to the
writer,
''some OF those letters have been OF a most
| singular character. One would think that when a
man who has lived for fifty years In a community

scarcely be questioned.

EVILS OF THE BOYCOTT.
Chief Arthur Has Claimed Too Many
Privileges for the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers.
Special to THE MORNING CALI

TOLEDO. o., March 24-Generhl Manager
Ashley of the Ann Arbor road gave out to-
day a reply to Chief Artbur'S statement
made last night lie says that the company
pays its freight engineers $500 per 100
miles and overtime after fourteen hours at
the rate of 80 cents an hour. The men are
not classified. Ninety per cent Of the en-
ginemen run freight, and only seven men
are engaged in the passenger service. The
men on these passenger runs earn from
$1,000 to S1400 per year for services of
eight hours or less per day. The freight
enginemen earn between 500 and $40 per
month Ashley says that the strike was
ordered at meeting of less than twenty
out OF total Of fOrty-siX members of the
brotherhood employed on the road. Chief
Arthur, he says, ordered or approved both
the strike and the boycott, not only with
the knowledge that both were Illegal, but
with the knowledge that a United States
court had issued mandatory injunction to
his men on connecting lines against refusing
to handle Ann ArbOr cars.
YET" says Ashley, "Mr. Arthur adyer-
tises himself as a law abiding citizen. The
right of the men TO quit the service of the
company In any manner and at any time
which does not endanger lives or property
has always been conceded, but the en-
gineers have denied the right of others to
perform the same services at rates of pay
refused by them and have, individually and
collectively, destroyed property. placed the
business of innocent and outside persons In
jeopardy and made themselves felOns in the
eyes of the law in order to accomplish their
purposes. Yet Mr.. Arthur continues 10 ad-
Vertise himself as abiding citizen"
Considerable excitement has been oc-
casiOned here by an attempt made last
night to wreck the passenger train on the
Ann Arbor road. The train was about one
mile north of Owosso when the accident
occurred. Mr.. Ashley, the manager Of the
Ann A!b6r. says this is not the first diff
fculty the road has had to contend with
since the cOmmen cement Of the strike, and
has issued notice offering $1,000 for the
apprehension of the culprits.
