Erie Railway Trouble.
The Hoard Can Give nm Opinion or n De-
clsion Only When Both Parties
Consent to Arbitration.
The State Board Of Arbitration met at

Tho State Board Of Arbitration met NJ
Albany, n. Y, Friday morning. Mr..
Powderly did not arrived, and Messrs.
Wright and Roger A. Pryor appeared for
tho knights OF Labor, and Hamilton
Harrison for the road Division Super
intendent Bissell, OF Albany, took the
stand, and said that all dismissals on
the New York Central were at the order
of the third vico president, and he un-
derstood that Mr. LIE Fevre was sus-
pended for lack of attention to duty.
He did not know that any one was
dismissed because he was Knight OF
Labor Mr.. Pryor asked for details as
to Le Fevre's neglect of duty, and wit
ness said that he dc Fevre) often was
seen neglecting his legitimate duty.
Witness knew that the discharged man
was Knight of Labor, but did not pay
attention to his standing. He admitted
that he thought Mr.. LIE Fevre was act
i've in the Knights. Mr.. LIE Fevre, the
discharged employe, testified that he
had been in tho employ of the company
| for reightecn years. Mr.. Bissell discharg-
ed him, but gave no reason, telling him
he knew what for. He supposed that it
was because he was Knight He had
never been reprimanded, suspended, ac-
cused of drunkenness or incapacity. The
testimony of other discharged employees,
of the general tenor, was also taken.
The object of the witnesses
was to show that they were
discharged on account of their con-
nection with tho knights of Labor. Of
| ficials of the road testified to the dis
charge of the men for cause, in one in
stance the cause assigned for the dis
charge of three men being that they were
bothering with committees when they
should have been at work. Commits.
siener Purcell asked for the production
of tho agreement between the road and
the men, as heretofore published, and IL
was put in evidence. Both sides de-
clared themselves through, and the
hearing was declared closed. Mr.. Pur-
cell, in closing, said that the public, he
thought, and the newspapers were under
the impression that the Board could
give decision in favor of one side
or the other. That impression was
false. He wished it understood that
the law allowed the Board to give an
opinion or decision only when both
parties consented to arbritrate. In this
case the Board would consider the testi-
mony and would make certain reommen-
dations for the amicable settlement of
the difficulty. The Board can not make
| this announcement however, but
through thaLegislature, and so January
will probably be the date when their
views will become public. The only ad-
vantage thus far gained is in the bring.
ing of the case in its true light before
| the public.

black smoke enveloped her and she
was seen no more. After this
the firemen poured torrents of
