The dissatisfaction in regard to the clos
ing of the depot and telegraph office at S
o'clock increases. Wednesday night of
last week when Charles Keene,
the mail carrier, met the night
train to deliver and receive the mail he
unlocked the depot to set in express and
was followed in by three gentlemen pas
sengers who had just arrived on the train
and were going to make themselves COM
Portable until morning. Mr.. Keene inform
ed them that they would have to leave The
depot but they refused to do So Mr.
Keene, who is an officer, threatened TO
arrest them If they did not get out. Tho
conductor hearing the rumpus went in aud
advised them to leave, which they finally
did. The officials at the depot say that
every night there are from one to six
passengers leaving and arriving on the
night train and as there is no one re-
sponsible for the safety of baggage. it is
carried by and not returned until the next
day, making it very inconvenient for pos
sengers. to say the least.
