PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2.-The Lehigh

cent. All extra time made at night, or on sun
day, is to be paid for as single time The engi-
neers and hremcn will he paid for regular trips,
hut there will be no allowance for detention on
the road or for shop time. The action Of the
company has caused discomfort along the line,
and II Is probable serious trouble may ensue.
Tue engineers Of the Pittston division Of the
road have held meeting, and resolved to strike
II any further decrease Is attempted In their pay.
The miners aud laborcrs of the com
pany have also had their wages lowered be-
tween fifteen and twenty per cent, but as II Is
Understood they will have fun time and steady
work through the mining season, no opposition
H. offered against the reduction.
II Is said on good authority that an the coal

MRS. o,BRIEN,s FURNITURE.
Mrs. extcrs Experiment at Letting Rooms
In Lexington Avenue.

Mrs. O. Brien of LIS Macdougal street ap-
peared before Justice Kasmire on Friday as com
plainant against Mrs. Helen II. Dexter. Mrs.
q Brcn saws that she first became acquainted
with Mrs. Dexter in April last and that later, on
the strength OF references that she believed to
be RESPONSIBLE, she rented to Mrs. Dexter the
furniture she had used In her own house, as she
intended going to Philadelphia. Mrs. Dexter
hired the house at 1877 Lexington avenue and
moved into II the furniture, valued at $3.50.
Some days afterward Mrs. OBrlen called, but
Mrs. Dexter said that she had not yet rented her
rooms, and not only could not pay rent on the
furniture, but could not pay the rent OF the
house. Thereat Mira. O'Brien gave her more
time, and lent her SIS. She then went to Phila-
delpha. After a week or two she wrote, asking
rent she should at least pay the borrowed
money. Y he response to this was an Enclosure
OF S35, which Mrs. O'Brien subsequently learned
WAS raised by either selling or mortgaging her
own piano. Soon afterward Mrs. o. IIrien learned
by letter That Mrs. Dexter was selling her furni-
tnre, and that In little time all would be gone.
She came to New York "a soon as possible, only
TO tnd the house empty and closed and Mrs.
Private Detective Rabneau says that he has
known Mrs. Dexter for long time that three
months or more ago she was boarding In the
West side Hotel under the name OF Blanche
Deming; that later she lived at 1877 Lexington
avenue, and was there known az Mrs. Helen u.
Dexter and that at the time of her arrest she
lived at 2s West 1hirty-fourth street, and was
called Mrs. Douglass.

the main channel that now vessels drawing
seven feet Of water can pass up the river to
Passac from Newark without trouble, where
heretofore the channel was but two feet and
half In depth at mean low water.
The irst great obstruction overcome was the
