Without Authority.

Without Authority.
The Southern railway officials here are
very much wrought up over the disorderly
conduct that occurred Thursday evening
on thv excursion train returning from
West Point They deeply lament the dis
gushing scenes OF drunkenness and fight
ing that occurred. but DO not feel that
tn company should be so severely crlti-
olsed. as the usual precautions were taken
10 insure ORDER, and the crowd Was sim
ply an unmana geable one.
The excursion was run by the railroad
company, and $40 persons made the trip,
filing thirt zen cars. The refreshment
privilege had been let 10 Messrs. MaXey
e Grimes, who had a baggage-csr in
which TO carry their fruit. cream, and
drinkables II beer was sold on the train
and persons who were on board say II
wac sold IN largs quantities-the railroad
company knew nothing OF IL. and II was
without their approval. Superintendent
OBrein and Captain West are authority
for this statement. and they went FUR
Their. and told a Dispatch man that under
no circumstances would they knowingly
have y rmitted the sale Of any in.OXi-
eating beverage.
Mr.. Hopkins. a regular freight condGc-
tor. had charge Of tie train, and mad
two assistants. besides brakemen and
a facman. There was no trouble going
down, except that tn, danger-signal cord
vas pulled twice. causing the train 10 stop

In West Point. where many iof those who
went down are said to have drank freely,
ard continu ali the way TO Richmond.
The conductor says the crew endcavored
at ROmancOke. the frat station reached
after West Point, 70 break up the light
ing. but were powerless to deal with such
crowd. The danger-cOrd was pulled
twice on the return trip, ard Mr.. Hopkins
thinks this was what broke the draw
head. The conductor says he did not know
that any beer was sold on the train,
thinking that only soda, gingsr-ale. and
tonic beer were dispensed.

the great excitement was so III when
