Amicable Adjustment of Salaries for
Employees.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 17th.-The
conference between Southern Pacific Off
cials and representatives of the Trainmen's 8
Association concluded yesterday. A COM
promise, which both sides say was satisfac-
tory, was effected. Both sides made con-
cessions, and the result has been uniform
freight and passenger schedule, to take
effect October 1st. By the terms of the
schedule passenger conductors running be-
tween Sacramento, Ogden, Red Bluff, Port
land, Lathrop and Ell Paso now receiving
Sl10 and Sl15 per month are to receive
S125. Brakemen On the same routes now
receiving SO per month are to receive $75
and baggagemen who now get S75 are to
get $50. Between Oakland pier, Sacra.
mento,tRed Bluff and Lathrop conductors
now getting S110 per month are to have
Sl20. Brakemen who now get $65 are to
get $40, and baggagemen now receiving $40
will, by the new order, get $75 The
freightmen running between Sacramento
and Ogden, Dunsmulr and Ashland, Ba-
kersheld and Ell Paso, are to receive: The
conductors 500 per month, instead of SS5,
and the brakemen $50, instead of SO. On
all the valley lines conductors are to receive
S95, instead of $S5, and brakemen S75, in
stead of $65
The system, which Els organized on
mileage basis. affects fourteen divisions;
but while the pay schedules, as far as
monthly wages go, are uniform, the extra
pay, computed on mileage method. is not
and cannot be made so. The wages by the
new order on the different divisions OF the
system are equalized as nearly as possible.
1t is understood the advanced wages will
make an increase in operating expenses of
fully $75 600 annually. Grand Master Will
kinson of the Trainmen's Association, left
for Ogden last night.
The report is again current that Mr..
Huntington, when he returns here the
last of this month, will, among other
changes. consolidate the coast division OF
1hr Southern Pacific out of existence. This
consolidation would be inevitable when the
road connecting Santa Margsrita and El-
wood is built. As the company plans to
build this soon as possible, perhaps Mr..
Huntington will anticipate matters by max
ing the reported changes. At present the
division is not division at all, so far as its
management is concerned. The change
would doubtless make the officers subject
to the general officers of the Pacific system,
as are officers of all the other divisions
except that one.

The GrismerDavIes company had good
house at the Metropolitan Theater last
evening. The audience moreover was
thoroughly appreciative one, and inspired
the company. This evening there will be
played Edward E. Kidders comedy drama,
Under Yoke" The story deals chiefly
with the complications arising from the
hero of the play falling in love with an
Italian girl, whose uncle, Pietro Orini, un-
der pretense of keeping an inn on the Alps
mountains, carries on the business of
brigsDd and general robber When the
hero learns what sort of a man the uncle
really is, and that the girl is entirely under
his control, and did not in the least return
his affections, he abandons his matrimonial
proposal and marries another There are
numerous striking characters in the play,
as an American inventor of enthusiastic
manner, the typical mother-in. law, the
prosecuted waif and diabolical villain.

A well-dressed, glib-tongued individual
stepped into the Thieben crockery store, on
] street, yesterday, and said he wanted to
look at some unch sets. Louis Wilcox,
who was the only person in the store at
the time, waited on the man ana showed
him several samples. The man was inclined
to talk great deal, but was evidently not
bent on making any purchases. He said
he was about to open saloon and needed
glassware.
While he was still talking lady came
in and Mr.. Wilcox left tine man and pro.
ceeded to wait on ths new arrival, The
! man then walked out
The lady made purchase and when
Wilcox went to his money drawer to make
change he made the startling discovery that
the drawer was missing, as well as some
$37 which i. had contained.
Mr.. Wilcox realized in moment that he
had been the victim of rogues. Upon
making a search be found the empty till
in the back yard of the store, where the
thief had left it, after relieving il of its
contents.
There is no doubt but that the man who
wanted the punch set was the confederate
of another who entered the store from the
rear, while Mr.. Wi.cox's attention was dis
trscted, and walked off with the till.

LAKE Cry, July l3.-What will prob
ably prove TO be the most disastrous cy-
clone that has ever struck this commu-
nifty passed over this city at 2 o'clock
tonight, inaicting the loss Of life of
perhaps 100 or 200 people and damaging
property to an extent that at this writ
ing cannot be estimated.
Considerable damage was done to
property in the town, but the worst was
the capsizing OF the excursion steamer
on Lake Pepin. The steamer Sea Wing
which came down the lake from Dia-
mond Bluff, a small place about seven
teen miles north Of here, on an excur-
sion to the encampment of the First
regiment, n. G. S. NJ, which is being
held mile below this city. The steam
or started back on the homeward trip
about o'clock, and, although there
were signs of an approaching storm, it
was not considered in any way serious
and no danger was anticipted.
The boat was crowded to its fullest
capacity, about $50 men, women and
children from Red Wing and Diamond
Bluff being on board and and about fifty
people on barge which was attached
to the side of the steamer. When about
opposite Lake City the boat began to
feel the effects of the storm. But the
officers kept on their way. The storm
increased as the boat continued up the
lake, and in fifteen minutes was at its
height.
Nearing Central Point, about two
miles above Lake City, the steamer
was at the mercy of the waves, which
were now washing over the boat and all
was confusion. The boat momentarily
ran onto bar and the barge was cut
loose, and the steamer again set adrift
in the lake. A number of those on the
barge jumped and swan ashore. As the
barge also foated again into the deep
water, those on the barge saw the
steamer as it was carried helplessly out
into the middle Of the lake, and as they
were being tossed about on the raging
waters, they were Mortified moment
later to observe the steamer capsize and
its cargo of $50 people precipitated into
the lake. ..,,
1t will be some days before the entire
list of dead is known, as full list of
the $50 passengers pretty certain to
have been drowned cannot be obtained.
Altogether fifty-nine bodies have been
obtained.
