/, THE EVENING TRAINS.
They Move Out With but Little
Trouble.

The report that Receiver Payne had
decided that III attempt would be made
to move out Northern Pacific trains
for the present was amply verified by
Developments. As 1t was with the 4:15
train for the coast. so it proved with
the train for Fargo, that should have
left at p. m.
ALI through the evening. when the
most trains leave the union depot, the
platforms were crowded with hundreds
of Interested onlookers, and among
them we're many railroad officials.
At tire depot of the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis, at the foot of Broadway. and
alongside the Northern Pacific Offices,
the regular Gas p. %. train left just if
tGen minutes behind time.
The regular train OH the Omaha for
Sioux City. scheduled for O'Clock, went
out with no hitch.
The Wisconsin Central Tbs p. m.
train did not move out on time. 1t was
reported that it would have done so, but
the fireman declined to make the run.
1t was said, however. that he was half
inclined to do so. but that he was over
persuaded by fellow members Of the
A. X. U. to desert his train, and finally
did SO. General Superintendent Horn,
of this company, who is in the city, was
standing alongside the belated train,
talking with the conductor. The
GLOBE reporter aceosted him.
''Mr. Horn. what is the reason your
train does not pull out?'
..Can't 60 out. without fireman." he
replied laconically.
'sWiil you have to abandon the
train?"
mo. sir. We expect TO pull out less
than one hour late" And so it proved,
as fireman was found who was ac-
ceptable to the engineer. who would
work only with Brotherhood man.
This train went out about $40.
1t was learned that the Wisconsin
CentraPs conductor who volunteered to
ACT in place of the fireman On the lilo
p. IN. train for Chicago accompanied
the train in this capacity as far as Chin
pewa Falls. This was the end of the
run for the fireman who WOULDN'T
work. At that point the regular relief
came on and the train kept on its
course toward Chicago.
This report was verified by General
Superintendent Horn, who also said
that the Wisconsin Central had three
dead engines in the Northern Pa
cific r0undhouse at Como. He said
these would soon be out ready for duty.
While the delay on the Wisconsin
Central was attracting curious crowd.
another crowd were gathered about the
"North-Western Limited" on the other
side Of the great iron sheds. Division
Superintendent MeCabe and General
Manager Winter were in the crowd, as
was Superintendent of Telegraph
Hope, of the Omaha. This train had

run these ears IN its arrangement of
alternating between the Wagner and
Pullman companies. There was eyl.
IDENTIFY great curiosity to learn whether
the fireman, as in the case of other
trains. would desert his post BE re-
manned loyal to the company, although
strong A. r. U. influences were brought
to bear on him to make him prove dis
loyal. When $40 came around tue
wheels began TO turn, and tile train
cleared the yards exactly Oh time. The
tireman's name was not learned, but it
Is said that he is member of the
American Railway union.
Much interest was manifested when
