ENGINEER BRIERLY'S
UNWELC0ME PRESENT

One of the oldest employees of the
Boston & Albany Railroad, Henry 3.
Briefly. received as a Christmas pres
ent from the road his discharge Mon
day, as the result of an accident which

engine which he was in charge of the
day of the accident. Many Of the en-
ployes of the road expressed sympathy
for the unlucky engineer, and hope to
soon see him reinstated. The discharge

ing up to him for support.

crossings will come the demolishing OF
the transfer depot of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford road at Green

road. There has been some talk that
the depot would be done away with
some time in the near future, as the
road is planning to build a new trans
fer depot near the present freight de-
pot on Southbridge Street.
No local freight trains will be run
through this city tomorrow which Will
give the freight handlers a chance to
rest after the hard work of the last
week
Telegraph operators who have been
working in the yardmaster's office or
the Boston & Albany are getting shift
ed around a good deal The latest to
get shifted out of the office of Yard
master Temple. is G. NJ. Blakesley,
who received orders to go to East Cam
bridge where he will be operator, and
in his place returns John w. Atkins,
who was only recently shifted to
Springfield, and who comes here again
as day operator
