 The Matter Arranged By Committees
 From Both Sides.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-The conference of the officers of the Manhattan Elevated rail road and the committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers met at o'clock this afternoon. Grand Chief P. NJ. Arthur, who headed the delegation of engineers, was received by Vice-President Galloway and General Manager Hain. After brief con- sultation the two committees went into ex- ecutive session. At o'clock Sidney Dillon came from the meeting room and announced that an amicable settlement had been reach ed and there would be no strike. few minutes later another officer of the company appeared and said that a settlement had been arranged on nine hour basis. The committees remained in session until half past five o'clock, when Chief Arthur an- nounced that perfectly satisfa ctory agree ment had been arrived at The schedule of grievances submitted to the executive con1- mittee of the company by the engineers con- tained ten counts or demands. inc first one of these demanded a reduction of the time constituting days work from ten to eight hours and the others required q modification of certain rules of the company working hardship to the engineers. The last one de- manded that no engineer should be dis charged from having served on Il committee or be discharged or suspended for any cause whatever without having fair trial, and, if exonerated from blame, to receive full pay during the time of suspension. All of the de- mands made by the engineers were com piled with by the company with the exception of the first-eight hours to constitute a day E work-upon which compromise of nine hours was made. This statement of the differences between the engineers and the elevated railroad company without the slight est hint on the part of the former that a strike would follow Q refusal to adjust their grievances is generally regarded as the great est of the many victories achieved by the Rrotharhood of LocomotiYe Engineers.

During our visit the Superior Court was
in session, Judge Kibbee presiding. This
gentleman, though delicate in physique
and serving his first term on the bench,
has developed an aptitude for business
and untiring energy rarely equalled in the
annals OF the law. His circuit, the Oco-
nee, embraces nine large counties, only
six OF which, exclusive the one he resides
in, are accessible by rail. The Judge,
at very heavy expense, is
forced to ride through the county
from court to court. In some of the re.
mote counties the actual amount Of trav-
cling expenses and board largely exceeds
the pitlful per diem. of this high functi-
mary. What shameful reflection upon
the dignity and liberality OF great
state! Still, in the face of all such obsta-
Giles, in the brief space of one and half
years, Judge Kibbee has finally disposed
of 2,017 cases, with the fall courts OF Pu-
laski, Dooley, Wilcox and Telfair still
to be held. The business OF the circuit
has increased so rapidly that there is not
a month in the year that the court does
not sit. The Judge is very popular, and
presides with ease and dignity. His
rulings are generally to the point and
always just.

THE PRESS,

Dublin is fortunate in the possession of
two weekly journals, the Gazette and
Post. which, to the credit Of the town be
it said, appears to be well patronized--
Mr.. Stubbs, who was absent, edits the
former, and the latter is managed BY j..
W. Peacock, Esq. If the projected rail-
way to Savannah is built, of which
there Is now reasonable GER
tainty, old Dublin will awaken from
her Rip Van Wrinkle sleep in the 'Piny
Woods" and come to the front as one Of
the live. progressive towns of Georgia. 1t
is to accomplish this result that her en-
terprising citizens are now Iaboring with
might and main. Want of space, and the
approach OF Uncle Sans mail wagon, ad-
monish the writer TO suspend bis notes
forthwith, without further warning or
apology. Ii. II. j.

Nocturnal Isuiiders.

Ed. Gray, colorcd man, was charged
in the Police Court to-day with trespassing
on the property of Mr.. F. A. Wood at
Fourth and A streets southeast. The case,
which is rather novel one, went over for
a heaiing. Mr.. Wood recently purchased
the property, and proposes to build on 1t,
but he is delayed by claim of ownership
to the ground set up by Gray. The
latter claims to have purchased tax
tile to the property from man
who got IL in 1850. On last Sunday
night, at midnight, Mr.. Wood was awakened
by two policemen, who said that Gray
was building on his lot at that minute. A
visit to the place proved this to be true, for
there was Gray and some others, with
torches stuck in the ground, building q
little brick house. Mr.. Wood regards this
as trick to keep possession and put the
occupant 10 anoth CT light before the courts.
