 and Costs by Judge Burpee.
 Behind the foeblignts of the trolley strike there were lIveiy times last even- ing. WalJer J. Moore, a motorman on the East Main street and Oakviile line, and a conductor named Elliott got drunk yesterday whlle on duty. So drunk that they raised a great disturb ance on their car when it reached Elk change place last evening. Moore was in that state called bowling drunk; Elliott was not so bad. Officers of the company tried to persuade the men to get off the car. Elliott was sub missive, but Moore's lighting blood was up. He would not leave the car for anybody. Another man was called in and the car was taken to the barn with more trouble than if a dozen strikers were on board. Moore could not be quieted. He put his fist through several of the windows before the car reached its des- tfnation. In the city court this morn ing he was charged with intoxication and breach of the peace, to which he pleaded not guilty. Boss Farley, the man who brought the non-unfon men here and who is in charge at the car barn, testified that Moore was asked to sign for his pay yesterday and he refused because he wanted to have an other day. He raised a great row in the barn. Nothing would quiet him, and with force. he was put out. He threw off his coat and invited all of his fellow workers to fight. He was finally put outside the barn and later he signed for his money. Thomas Bascomb, another emp1oye of the com pany, testified to the same. Moore de- nied every word of the above testi- mony and insisted he was as sober as he could be. He was fined S1O and costs for intoxication and on the other charge of breach of the peace sentence was suspended. As he was taking his seat he shouted out that Farley had won all his money at 8 game called 'banker and broker'' and that he had not $1O to his name.
 After court Boss Farley was asked about this accusation. He said there was not word of truth in it; that he does not play cards and knew absolute Iy nothing about 'banker and broker.
