Attaching Railroad Trains

Speaking of the attachment of raxlroad trains by Deputy Sheriffs, just as the hour arrivés for their departure from the depot (of which outrage there have been at least two exhibitions lately), Superintendent A. A. Fohom recalls an instance wherein the game of the officers was effectually blooked. It oocurred during tb e admimstration of his predecessor in the superintendency of the Boston and Providence Railroad. Just as the morning Hhore Line train was about to leave, one of the creditors of the Provideuoe and Stonington Railroad placed an attaohment upon a car belonging to that company, and located in the middle of the train. Mr. Nason, then Superintendent, requested that it be vaoated, but the creditor was inexorable. The dan gers of delay were explained, as was also the tact that a hundred innocent people were being made to suffer for the wrongdoing of a Corporation ; but all explanations were in vain, and the oreditor continued stubbornly to insist upon what he deemed the maintenance of his legal righte. Finally, after the train had been delayed fifteen minutes, Mr. Nason hit upon a bjight idea. " Very well, sir," he said ; " there is your car. Take it out of our depot." "What do you mean, airr " Juat what I say, exactly. You have attached a car belonging ta the Stonington and Providence Eailroad Company, and I want you to take it away from the Boston and Providence Railroad depot. Separate it from our cara and remove it at once." "All right, sir; I will do so. Just start up your engine, and we'll take the car out of your way in a jiffy." "Not by a confounded sight. The car is in your oharge and not mine, and none of the property of this Company shall be used to help you. And I want to teil you, too, that every moment you allow the car to remain here only increases my bill against you for damages." " But how shall I remove it?" "That is your business, and not mine. One thing ia certain, you will remove it soon." "You're inaolent, air! You pláceme in a position from which I can't extricate myself. I vacate the attaohment at once. Take the car if you want it." " I don't want the car, sir ; but I'll take it out of my depot, and if you care to serve the attachment then, go ahead. The necessary orders wero given, and the train started off at ü high rate of speed, so swiftly that the creditor was unable to catch it in time to carry out hia purpose. The proceedings of Mr. Nason proved a great suocess. - Baturday JUtening Gazette.
