 In conversation with an HERALD reporter MT. Elliott stated that the engi- neers had fixed up the matter.
 Officials were less fortunate in getting out southbouud No. 8. Engineer Charles Elliott stated that he would go with com potent fireman. A fireman was given him and the train pulled out, but did not go out of the yards, for a crowd collected, It Is said, and began jeering the engineer and fireman, and also hurled stones at the engine. The fireman, it is said, threw q rock into the crowd, which is reported to have struck man on the head, leaving the blood running. The train was backed into the depot and Engineer Elliott complained that the fireman was not competent man. Alderman Jefferis was offered as fireman, but the engineer also complained, 1t is said, that he was not practical fireman.

The engineer was Charles Spencer, who said to his fire man when he left the engine: "Jule, you have been with me long time and hate to see you leave. You are taking step that you will regret. Go with me this trip, and let the order hold ameeting today. Then abide by their decision" The fire man said that all of the others except one l had refused to go and that he couldn't do | otherwise. MT. Spencer turned to Train Dispatcher Henry Martin and said: ''1 don't propose to be hoodwinked or bull- l whipped by any body of men. am going | to do what is right. Get me man that | can keep up steam and I'll take this | train.'
 A man was put on the engine, but the | first scoop Of coal he threw in the fire box | Mir. Spencer stepped down and told MT. l Martin that the man he had could not heat I the engine, and that he would take out the l train with him If MT. Frazer would take | the responsibility, but he would not upon | his own.
