The train started out all right, but it soon became evident that it was gaining unwarranted speed and the brakes were incapable of lessening it. The speed went on increasing and Mr. Watson, the conductor, saw that the train wassure to jump the track, and gave the order to the men to jump for their lives.

A man by the nameof Pillsbury, a railroad man, created a rather serious disturbance at the Windsor Hotel on Tues- day forenoon. He and his wife have been boarding there, and it is reported that they had frequent “tiffs.” Pillsbury, being a railroad man, is ¢ way from home turszed quite often, and yesterday ina not very amiable re retemper, ° with his mind apparently made up to do some fancy carving at his wife’s expense. He gave notice of this in the sittingroom of the hotel, and at once made his way upstairs to find his wife, followed by three men. He finally caught sight of his wife and made arush for her, when he was set upon by hispursuers. In the struggle that followed, Reid, one of the three, had his coat cut through by a stroke of the knife held by Pillsbury. The police were now sent for and under the gentle admonition of an officer the offender was taken to the City Hall. In the aftermoon he was sentenced by Judge Pyper to a fine of $30 for disturbing the peace and $20 for cutting Reid; $50 in all for his little pleasantry. ~ |
