WAGES or CAR DRIVERS AND CoNDUCroRs-
citv, conductors receive 81 25, and drivers
81 rs per day, seven days to the week Those
who hold such such situations however, are
considered very lucky. The ordinary wages are,
conductors Sl3 per week, drivers 50 per week.
10 those cars which carry no conductors, the
driver receives $l3 per week. He collects no
money, but makes change so that passengers
can put the exact fare 10 the box"
The line to Newport can only afford to pay
81 per week to conductors as well as drivers
As a consequence there is more knocking
down" on this line than any of the others. II
is the most Wretchedlv managed Of all tbe
street car routes. There il no regularity in il
whatever no system in any of its departments
The cars are shabby and dirty, the horses ca
daverous-lookiug and evidently starved, and
the drivers and conductors are mostly the
mesnest-loOking men in. the business. They
could not well be otherwise working fJr So PEI
week, fourteen hours a day, and seven DAYS a
week. A new arrangement is about to be in
troduced on this line, By which each passenger
depositing his fare 10 the box, causes bell tc
ring which CONNECTS with a register, thu.
keeping an account az all fares received.
More perfect accuracy could perhaps be OBJ
talned by arranging it so that each passenger
on stepping ab lad the car shonld ring the bel
on the Central Station Of the Fire Alarm Tel
egraph. This suggestion is offered to the Di-
rectors free Of charge.

THE cooperative boot and shoe fac
tory in Philade lphia belonging to the

THE tailors, in Rome, recently struck,
when the employers sent to New York
for a new force. But the strikers bought
tickets and sent the new men back to
New York, and several have been ar
rested for conspiracy.

l49 volumes with a continuance of Is |
volumes, and a full set Of the debates
in Congress and the Congressional
Globe.
THE Trades Union Bills have passed |
the third reading in the Lords and are
now the law Of the land. The bills IRE
not what trades unions would have
liked; indeed, the criminal bill was
quite uncalled for, as trades offences
could have been dealt with by common
law, the same as other offences. The |
civil bill, however, will place unions on
a better footing than hitherto, as it en-
ables them to protect their funds, the |
same as any other legal association.

Picnic OF Iron MoLDEks' UNION No 4-The

was one Of the finest Of the season. The turn
out vas not as large was expected, owing to
the extreme dullness Of the times, and indeed,
it is wonder how any one can afford to 60 to
picnics nowadays So many hundreds of the
working men of Cincinnati are now walking
the streets in search Of employment, and so
very few are working, that if picuics we're well
attended it would be a matter of surprise.
Those who we're present at No. As picnic, Ger
tainly had every facility for passing a pleasant
day, as the committee of arrangements e1erted
themselves to please all who attended. The
music vas superb, the day faultness, and the
party as friendly and socable as possible No
spirituOus liquor stronger than ice-cre4m was
to be had on the grounds, except an occssiona.

persons had with them to guard against a

manner, and the members of No. may con
graduate themselves on kno aing how to give a
Arst-class picnic.

TERRIBLE AND FATAL ACCIDENT

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. J. T.. Fobes,
a foreman IN the tannery Of the Wiscon-
SIN Leather Company. near the Kinnick~
lnnlck, undertook to pass under shaft
In rapid motion, when a bolt head caugh,
him and threw him violently around the
shaft twenty or thirty times before the
engine could be stopped. His back was
broken, and he was badly bruised from
his hips down he was entirely paralzed.
He was taken to his residence and at
tended by DIR. Marks, but of course there
was no possibility Of doing anything for
him, beyond administering to his COM
fort, and we have just been informed that
he expired this morning
Mr.. Fobes was twice a member of Leg
islature from Manitowoc county, and was
an estimable citizen. He leaves wife
but no children.
We publish the above terrible news
from the Wisconsin, of the 10th inst.
Mr.. Fobes has been a resident of our
County for very many years, until about
six months ago; he was eyer esteemed as
one of our most upright, useful and in-
fluential citizens, and his sudden, awful
death will be long remembered here to-
gether with the many deeds of benevo-
lence and neighborly kindness which en-
deared him to all, to whom he was
known.

Ed. TRIBUNE Your correspondent,
90" In his article on the difficulties of
the clergy" in LAST weeks paper, said
some good and true things. [ was re-
minded of a fact which occurred not very
long ago, and which is now being pub
lished for the fist time.
Mr.-- came to the United States
several years ago to perfect himself in
our language, and to study theology, with
view to the christian ministry. He
graduated in one of our caste n colleges,
just as Lee surrendered to Gen. Grant.
Or his arrival in China, instead of being
employed. as he wished and expected, he
was informed by the Bishop that he
could do nothing for him for want Of
funds. Gold was then very high here,
and very little was sent out Of the country
