Opposed to the Shirt-waist Man.

AS the train leaving Norfolk at 1890
n. m. was rolling out of the DEPOT sun
day, 1t bore in one car number of
ladies and other persons. Among the
latter were n number of young men,
several OF whom were not wearing
their coats. All but one of these wore
negligee shirts and belts, but no sus-
penders. There was one, however. VINO
wore starched shirt and suspenders
10 TINS one the conductor of the train
went ana requested him to don his
coat. lie refused to do so. even when
The conductor ordered him to DO il. and
told him that his attire was objection
able and contrary to the rules of the
railroad company. The conductor then
threatened to put the passenger off the
train unless he put on his coat. The
latter continued to refuse TO do so, and
the conductor stopped the train at
Greenwich and elected him.
AS the young man was put off some
of his friends took the names of a
number of the passengers. possibly
with the intention OF using them in Il
suit for damages to be brought by the
elected party, whose name we did not
learn.
The conductor spoke TO the other
young men, who We're coatlcss, and
stated that their attire was not con-
trary to the rules OF the company. but
their coats while on the train. They
complied With his request. This would
seem to imply that the shirtwaist man
is persona non Grata" on the Virginia
Beach trains, except, perhaps, in the
smoker.
