fculty among the workmen, employees. and eng1-
neers of the Amboy Division Of the Pennsylvania
RaiIroad from tho reduction OF their wages did
not occur Tie men have consented provision
ally to tho reduction. It is understood that so
soon as the business Of these roads and branches
will warrant it, the Company will advance tho
wages Of their men to the same as they
received before the reduction. This Propo-
sition seems to have been the basis upon
which the strike Was ayerted. Mr. Coseatt
General Manager OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company states this morning that there is no
trouble Whatever among the employees either on
the main line or tho New Jersey Division He
sald that the
MES ACCEPTED TIE REDUCTION AS MATTER OF
NECESSITY
OIL this line, and, Us fur Us known, there has not
been single case OF refusal to work. No
trouble whntever is anticipated. On tho con-
trary, many Of the men havo expressed lndiEld-
ua|ly to tho officials of tho Company thclr 1nten-
tion Of continuing their work at tho reduced
rates.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-Counselors, repro
sentine thc various divisions Of tho Pennsyl-
rania Railroad. met here in secret session to-
day. It is underetooi that 1t wes decided unanl-
mouslv to submit to reduction, provided the
Company will restore tho old wages in three
months. The Ptnnsylyania officials state that
the strike has practically ended, and that the
men are resuming work under the new rule.

that, although not treated justly, tley can gain

ment las absolutely resolved to abstain from,
any interference with the innor ecclesiastical
organization Of dioceses during their struggle
with the Roman Church, and to confne its &C

Of the Bishops upon State rights. Existing pre-

will superinduce uncomfortable confusion in tho
diocesan administration, bnt it hopes thereby
to compel the clergy to = compliance with tho
law. The new form OF the oath Of allegiance to

framed in terms binding the subscriber to ab-
solute submission to the State, and it is official
" assumed that tho Vatican will not permit
Episcopal candidates to take it. This nssump-

FAIRFAX COUNTY ITEMS. II From the Fair
fax News The Board of Supervisors was in
session here on Monday. There were several
resolutions passed AMI former order regard
ing the county poor resciudld, besides other
business transacted; but the main thing for
which the board met was passed over--viz to
settle and audit the accounts of the county
treasurer-uutil the next meeting, on the
fourth Monday in January, when, if nothing
happens to prevent, the business will be tin
ished up. Meanwhile, the county treasurer
eject having failed to qualify, we presume the
county judge will appoint some one to the va
cancy, caused by this event., who will fill the
said Office until his successor is elected and
qualified, at the uext general election held in
the month of November. The treasurer bond
is heavy one, amounting to one huudred and
six thousand dollars, it is said.
Mr.. 4. i. Howard, residing near the old
and we'll known Gooding's Tavern, down the
pike, while cleaning out the smoke house one
day last week, dug up 40 IS gallon key Of
peach brandy, supposed to have been put there
by Mr.. b. s grandfather some fifteen or twen-
ty years ago.
