4 Word for Col. EaEries.
This reception business seems to have
narrowed down into an abuse of Colonel
Harries," said old and Intelligent con-
dCctor on the Metropolitan railroad this
morning. Nobody who knows him as we
do will ever believe that he is not looking
out for the best interests of his men. W hen
he was president of this road he was al
ways locking out for our interests, and L III
sure that he hasn't changed bit since he
left u.s.
