EXCITEMENT IN UPPER BROADWAY.
A cABpRvER AND THEN POLICEMAN CAUSE
A CONNECTION BY WILD DRIVING.


Business was dull last night with Charles Eaean-
a oabman of No. 1872 West Sixty-second-st., and
there being no fares in sight, Eagan decided he
would be his own fare" Descending from his
perch he got within his vehicle His decision TO
do this was largely the result Of too much whiskey
Down Broadway the drove his horse at
mad gallon and several times he ran into otner
vehicles cars etc. and many persons narrowly es-
caped injury. He not stopped until he reached
Observation-Disclosures There he endeavored 10 drive
over Policeman Converse, of the West Thirteth-
st station and that official took exception He
also took hold Of the horse, and effectng an
abrlpt halt laid hands on Eagan
The man was easily handled as his condition was
then maudlin Protesting feeby for moment he
became drowsy and falling over he slept Converse
had nothing else to do but climb into the cab and
drive 10 the station.
He wanted TO get II over with just as quickly as
he could and he did not spare the horse Broad
way was thronged, and the sight OF a hanson pro-
ceeding up that thoroughfare at such a rate with
no driver on the box gave the impression OF
runaway At Twenty-ninth-st an excited man ran
out and grabbed the birdie and brought the morse
TO stop. m , o, nh.
citizen saw his and loosened his grip. The rig
had not gone far when somebody else yelled Kun
away and another man seeing visions Oh ms
way ran out, seized the bride, and, after strug-
gle that cost him several holes in his clothing, was
induced to relinqush all claims on glory by threats
of arrest for interfering with policeman.
Converse at last reached his destination. The
shafts of the hanson were smashed from the num-
that II almost dropped from fatigue They carried
Pagan into the station and put him in cell. The
charge Is drunkenness and reckless driving.

the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western Railroad
engineers whose conferences with General super
intendent Russell were broken on Tuesday Ell
Vail chairman OF the Engineers Committee ex-
planned to Chief Arthur the work already done by
the committee and the points wherein there was
disagreement.
While much secrecy is maintained on the ques-
tons ct issue II is learned that the points TO be
disposed OF have reference what number OF hours
shall constitute days work. the time allowance
for switching and sidngs and the runs to the
mines. There is also intimaton that the ex-
tended length Of runs. which compes many OF the
men to remain away from home over night, when

into tho discussion. II Is not expected the COM
mittee will again meet Mr.. Russell before next
week.
It is thought that by noon tomorrow Chief Ar

tion on which the Lackawanna engineers disagreed.
The question. II Is reported, takes in the pay for
work in the yards and for switching, laying
sidings and running to the mines.
