His duty will be to read higna!s and stop a train {f anything happens to the engineer.

We want a | man in those Wootens, or hog-backs, so long as they are in use.” “How about the room?" aeked the reporter, “The room?" eald the engineer. “Oh, yes, I did read that President Truesdale, (ot our road, says there 1s no room in the cabs of those big engines for an extra «man.

Th reporter was infort foo, that the engineers of the different roadr using ‘Wooten fire-box locomotives having the time would hold private meetings Sunday afternoon to decide upon what shall'be done in the matter of assisting The Even- ing World {n its movement. _ President Truesdale, in his ridiculous statement that there is no room in an @ngine cab for an assistant to the engineer, finds himself once more contradicted by @ no Jess prominent man than Supt. Frank L. Sheppard, of the Pennsylvania Railroad. An Evening World reporter called upon Mr. Bheppard yesterday in his Office in Exchange place, Jersey City. The reporter sald he would like to have the superintendent's opinion regarding the employment of a third man on Wooten fire-box locomotives, and whether or not he considered there wi room ofr a third mean tn the cab of such locomotives. ROOM ENOUGH IN THE CAB. “We have two men in the cabs of our engines aj the time or nearly all the time—the engineer and fireman, When the fireman is not firing he is up tn the cab,” aad Mr. Sheppard, “Is there room for him there?” asked the reporter. ¢'Not on the same side with the engineer,” said Mr. Bheppard, ‘but he can Potay on the opposite side, nnd he te then as clone ha you tre te ane nacoce aan 4 Geek.” anid the Superintendent, pointing to a flat top oak wood desk about four © feet wide. Leaving Mr. Sheppard's office the reporter went downstairs to the big Penn- gef¥lvania train shed and asked an engineer if he considered that there was more gp teem in cabs of the mogul engines than those In use on the Penneylvanta road.
