NEW YORK, July IL.
Some 700 Italians who had been at
work in place of the striking freight.
handlers this morning left work and
Joined the strikers. The fir eight handlers
say that they have now on their
rolls about 1000 Italians, who have
10 ned them in the struggle for increased
wages. Appearances at the piers and
receiving depots for freight are much
the same to day. A couple of green
hands who refused to join the strikers
were assaulted and roughly handled at
Battery Park. Piers l to s we're crowded
with freight, which was removed very
slowly; the force of men employed being
very much decreased. AT the Central
Railroad depot 140men were employed,
where formerly only rs were needed.
Many Of these where Germans, and it
was said they would quit when pay
day arrived. Work was slowly done
and the reception OF freight was light.
The New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad Company had about
60 men at work, the balance having
failed to appear this morning. The
Erie freight depot was in much the
same condition, but had more freight
piled there. The force of hands at work
here was very small. The Pennsylvania
Railroad piers, 80 and 80, received but
little freight. There were s. men at
work on each pier. Two gifts OF bread
and money, sent in the name of
charity, were refused, the strikers
saying thai they were not objects of
charity.

An Encouraging Conference i,

At recent meeting of the Peach
Growers at Dover, committee, con.
sisting of e. r. Cochran, Robert H.
Cummins and Robert S. Griffith, were
appointed to confer with the railroad
officials, in regard to lower freiRhts,
rapid transportation, etc This COM
mittee, yesterday, held a conference
with the officers of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, at Philadelphia.
An interview was had with A, j. Cas-
sett, first Vice President of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, Frank
Thompson, general manager and John
S. Wilson, freight agent. Mr.. Cassett
told the committee that their contract
with the New York and New England
Railroad Company WAS such that the
Pennsylvania Company could not con.
tract to ship by the Shore Line. He
promised every effort, however, on the
part of his company to promote the in
terests of the peach growers, as their
interests were common with those Of
the railroad. He was also of the Opin-
ion that there would be a reduction of
freights to New York and Boston, and
that empty baskets would be returned
free The conference was a pleasant
one and the committee were satisfied
that the interests of the peach growers
would be attended to properly by the
railroad company.

an Officer,
Last evening Constable VIM. Hick.
man, accompanied by H. r. Penning'
ton, Esq, as his attorney, appeared be-
fore the Mayor to answer the charge OF
committing an assault and battery on
Officer Peterson while he was endeav-
oring to arrest Hugh Shields on Wed
nesday afternoon. The evidence show
ed that Shields, who was drunk, was
lying asleep on the sidewalk on Orange
street when the officer was requested TO
arrest him. He went over and reused
him up, when Shields resisted, and the
men fell to the pavement with the OH e
Ger on top. He had succeeded in put
ting the nippers on the man, when
Hickman came running up, and pulled
the officer off and pushed him to one
side. When the officer demonstrated
with Hickman for his interference, he
tol him that he need not get his id
back up" " it'll CtheI profane express
ions. There were about half dozen
witnesses, and they all told the same
story. One of the Witnesses said that
he was under the impression that Hick.
man was drunk, az he not only cursed
and abused the officer, but also some
bystanders who told him that they
thoughtthat he, as an officer of the law,
should have assisted the officer to make
the arrest, instead Of trying to prevent
him.
When the evidence was all in Mr..
Pennington addressed the Mayor in be-
half of his client and said tbA2 Hick
man did not know that Peterson was
an officer of the law when he intertel-
ed and claimed that as no assault had
been proven, thu prisoner must either
be discharged, or held for court on the
greater charge of interfering with a
sworn officer of the law, in the dis
charge of his duties. Mr.. Pennington
strongly urged upon his Honor the ne
Cessity Of holding Hickman for Court,
and said if the testimo"& IT the VII
nesses were true, he '.o guilty OF
serious offence, beyond tie power ct
the Mayor to punish, aud lie should BE-
sent to a higher tribunal Mayor Wales
listened attentively to the pleadings OF
the counsel, and no doubt agreed with
him that he could not intlict as heavy
a penalty as the offence deserved, but
it is probable that he remembered the
maxim which says "never
do what an enemy wants You do" for
when the attorney closed, the Mayor
said That's all very well Mr.. Pen.
nineton, but know full well that if l
send this matter TO Court, that will be
the last u it, and intend that the pun
shall follow the offence. He
then sentenced Hickman to pay fine
of $40 and costs, amounting altogether
to $17 SO, which he handed over to the |
chief with a bad grace. When the
Mayor rendered his decision, there was
an effort made to applaud by the spec
,ators, which was promptly checked.
