much confusion ana temporary embarrass-
ment regarding the starting of through

the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, the Wa

| turned by u new man, just hired, and,
amid cheers and smiles and waving Of
| handkerchiefs and hats, the big train drew
out Of the depot on its journey eastward.

| The Nickel Plate passenger train, leav-
ing here at $40. was delayed two hours

that left here at $50 this evening was
| also stopped, and is still there, sur
| rounded by the crowd, who have detached
two Pullman slSepers from the train and
| refuse to allow them 10 be put back. No
