From the New York Sun.
 "On train that I took from Cincinnati for Columbus a few months ago." said travelling inspector in the Government employ, Carrie Nation was a passenger. had often seen her before, and re- cognized the stodgy enemy of the rum devil as she stepped aboard the car She was on the rampage at that time, and wondered if there was going to be any thing doing on the little trip.
 "I went Into the smoker for cigar as soon as the train got going. Sitting to- gether in seats facing each other were four plasterers They had trowels with them and they were on their way to Co., lumbus to go to work. All four were pretty well sudsed. Apparently they had begun to acquire their jags early in the day, so that they were whole heap mel lowed up by the time they got on board the train They all had their coats off. the smoker being overloaded.
 There were intervals of fully three minutes between these plasterers drinks Each of the roysterers had a black glaz- ed grip with him, each containing. so far as I could make out, a pape- collar and about four quart bottles of the old stuff.

Carrie watched them with flaming eyes.

 'The four plasterers got to their feet put their heads together. threw their arms around each others shoulders, and sang Good morning Carrie in regular quartet style. They were all good sing CTS, and the music was really effective and stirring.
 Voices of the Befuddling Devilr snapped the hatchet woman when they had finished and resumed their seats. amid the vociferous applause of all the smokers passengers. Thus will you not chant in the deepmost caverns of he'll to which you are eternally doomedl'
 But this is Ohio ma'am,' remarked one of the plasterers. with an ear to ear grin.
 Hell and Ohio-synonymous and in- terchangable termsr snapped back the unquenchable Carrie.
 cone of the plasterers went to the wa fer cooler and fetched to his seat the wa- fer glass. Into the water glass he pour ed about fivefingers from one of his as- sortment of black bottles and tossed 1t off with the sYce-owr of reservation jumping Moouio.
