The Strikers MIsropresontinG tho Situation.
More Free Trade Resolutions.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. G.-The leaders Of
the Reading Railroad freight handlers
strike here are making desperate endesvors
to cheer up the tagging spirits Of the men
they encouraged to leave the compsny's
service. At one Of the meeting places OF
the strikers encouraging messages were to-
day posted up announcing that no freight
was being moved this way or that way ;
that new hands were quitting the COM
pRny's service, and many other things
which pictured the company in state OF
paralyzing perplexity. But there are no
signs that the public can observe that con.
firm these reports. The railroad people
claim that they are moving their trains
with regularity.
The situation OF Port Richmond Is prac-
tically unchanged, and the end Of the
strike appears TO be as far of as ever. A
considerable quantity otcoal was received
from the mines and stored along the
wharves at that point.
The scarcity olcoal in the city yards has
already had an influence on the price Of
that commodity, and Just at present high
figures are ruling. AS high as 81 50 has
been received for the best hard ash coal.
but quotations ranging from IS so to 81
are common and only short supplies are
available at that.
at a meeting last night Of local Assem-
bly, $3.50, knights OF Labor, composed Of
Reading railroad employees, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted; !;
The Philadelphia & Reading Railroad
Company in the present difficulties which
they have forced upon their employees,
are engaging immigrants to fill the places
they have caused us to vlcate; and
WHEREAS, the company ia protected
from foreign competition by protective
tariff on coal, which we have fondly be-
lieved for years was intended to benefit
American labor; and
WHEREAS, We, as citizens Of the Repub.
lie, believe the laws should be impartial,
and that no laws should be enacted which
confera special privileges upon any class
OF citiGsns, therefore be 1t
ReSolsed, That in the coming election
for Congressman, we shall support only
those men who are pledged to vote to re-
peal the tariff on coal.

Giorification Over Tough Who Wouldn't
Peach"
NEW YORK, Sept. 6-Piker Downs was
honored yesterday BY picnic in one Of the
Harlem beer parks The gloritication was
because he had been stabbed almost to death
and had refused to tell who did it Piker
was young East side tough The gang to
which be belonged got drunk together, and
he had a midnight fight in the street. Piker
was stabbed three times and deeply with
knife. The police took him to Bellevue hos
pital, where the surgeon decided he could not
recover. and they told him so. Then the
coroner tried to take an ante-mortem state
ment, but the rowdy told him to go to hades.
Although assured positively that he would
die before morning he insisted that he had
been kicked by a horse, and when
that ridiculous theory was not accepted
he simply declared that he wouldn't split
on paLn Next day it was not deemed
quite so certain that he would die, and one
OF his friends managed to get TO his bedside
Piker assured him that he wouldn't peach, :"
and in return was gratefully assured that
after his death the boys would turn to and
give him such a wake as East Twenty second
street had never known. Downs had not
then received ths slightest comfort from the
doctors, and he believed that he would not
recover. The promise of glorious wake
seemed to cheer him nightly, and he wanted
his friend to make the members of the gang
all sign an agreement to take part in the do
ings around his coffin. But Piker proved
too tough to kill easily with knife, and he
is now in fair way to be healed Frus,
trated in the plan of a wake and perhaps a
little disappointed, his admiring friends got
up the picnic as mark of their esteem.
