HOboes Found
Riding in Tank.

The employees of the Maine Central
have many thrilling experiences with
''hoboes" and find these esteemed gen.
tlemen riding in nearly every position
on train. 1t is not an uncommon
thing to find as many as four or five
tucked away on the head of blind
mail or baggage car and usually they
are not molested But the incident at
the station Friday afternoon was the
best that has been heard for a long
time.
When passenger Train No. 1O2, bet
ter known as the Yankee, arrived at
1925, Fireman Grant, when he lifted
the cover from the tank to take water,
was very much surprised to see two
heads sticking out. The most striking
part of it was that one was a colored
gentleman. Neither seemed to mind
the discovery of their presence, but
nevertheless rather enjoyed once more
their liberty. They came out of the
tank very much unconcerned and
climbed down from the engine as
though it was an every day occur
renee. The last seen of the Son of
Ham and his white partner was when
they struck off down the track to FROM
street, but it is probable that they
are many miles from here this morn
ing.
Engineer Small stated that he dill
not know where they got on, but
thought that it was this side of Ban
gor, as they do not take water at sta
lions between. The water supply is
nearly exhausted when this city is
reached and the riders did not have 4
great deal of water to stand. 1t WAS
lucky thing for them that the water
was not scooped at Newport, the same
as has been done in the past, for there
would have been two dead men.

GRAIN ORDER AFFECTS MANY
SHIPPERS IN MIDDLE WEST
AWAIT COURTS DECISION.
Sweeping Order Of Interstate Com.
merce Commission for Judicial
Determination.

Every bushel of wheat, practically every
interstate railroad and every grain ship
per ip the middle west are affected by an
order issued today by the interstate COM
merce commission postponing the effective
date of the commissions order in what
are known as the Peavey elevator cases.
Several dates were fixed by the commits
sion for its order to become effective, but
for various reasons 1t was postponed
finally until January 1, 1910. Today il
was postponed until April 1, 1910, in or
de- that the United States circuit court
of the eighth circuit might have oppor-
tunity to hear the cases.
The suit was instituted to vacate the
ments for elevation of wheat under the
Peavey contract with certain railroads.
The commission joined with the grain
shippers in desire to obtain a judicial
determination of the question underlying
the commissions original order.
The effect of the order was to prevent
the railroads from paying ~ cents per
hundred pounds for the elevation of wheat
to any person, firm or corporation en-
gagged, directly or indirectly, in the buy
ing, selling or shipment of grain. This
order interfered seriously with contracts
that Peavey & Co. had with western rail-
roads at Minneapolis. St. Paul. Omaha,
Council Bluffs, st. Louis and other cities
in the middle west.
1t is expected that a judicial determi-
nation of the various cases may be reach
ed by the LIST of next April.
