Another OF those rows for which the
late trains from Washington have become
famous occurred on the train leaving
Washington for Alexandria last night at
IL 80 o'clock. This time 1t was a white
man, whose name could not be ascertain
ed. When Conductor johnson went through
the train collecting the tickets, he ap-
preached this man, who was drunk and
asked for a ticket. The man claimed to
have a ticket, but refused to give II up
or pay his fare. After some little talk the
conductor stopped the train on the cause
way between the two bridges. When the
train had started again the man jumped
on the rear platform, when the brakeman
tried to put him of again and scuffie en-
sued, In which several passengers took
part. The train was again stopped and
delayed fully five minutes, when some
kindly disposed passenger paid the mans
fare. 1t seems, however. that the man did
not know where he wanted to go, for he
left the train at the south end OF the Long
bridge. As is always the case when these
disturbances occur the sir was redolent
with the foulest language. which was. to
say the least, extremely disagreeable to the
lady passengers who happened to be on the
train.
