FLASHES FROM WILLIAMSBURG.
1t is Not Good Policy TO Walk on the Auto
matte Switch Tracks.

II 10 NOT CSood Folcy 10 Wink on tue Autos
matte switch Tracks.
The danger of automatic railroad switches
is pretty we'll understood by residents of
Williamsburg. Said a gentleman of that
town to DISPATCH reporter last night:
Switches worked from signal box at some
distance are convenience of course, but ii a
person is crossing the tracks just
when switch is being thrown over, he must
watch his footsteps if he wants to escape a
horrible death. was crossing the tracks
at the station the other night, when the
switch was worked for the 1880 Wilkins
burg accommodation. My foot was actu-
ally upon the rails when they flew together
with a crash. Had nv foot been along the
rails instead of across them 1 would have
been caught. 1t was dark and the switch
man in his signal box could not have seen
me, nor were any other employees of the rail-
road around. In few minutes the train
came laundering down in the darkness.
When think OF what might happen there
at any time, wonder whether automatic
switches are a success after all.
The congregation of the Williamsburg
Methodist Churh care trying to dispose of
their property on Wallace street. 1t IS the
intention to build a new church on South
street.
Various improvements are being made in
the house and grounds of the Home of the
Aged. The anniversary celebration of the
institution is to be held about the end of
next month.
The public schools will close tomorrow
for three months. The next term will COM
mence in the new building. it is hoped.

AN EIopEMENT IN SIGHT.

Mrs. Bolinskv Afraid That Her Husband
Is Looking for Their Lady Boarder.
A complaint was made at the office of the
Humane Society yesterday afternoon that
a man named Bolinsky, of No. II Webster
avenue, had deserted his wife and two small
children, leaving them in destitute circum-
stances. An elopement is not among the
improbabilities in the case.
Mrs. BoIinsky, the deserted wife, states
that some time ago her husband intro
duced a new member of the household in
the shape of a lady boarder, against whose
presence she made decided objection.
Neither the boarder or Bolinsky paid the
slightest attention to her protests. About
ten days ago the lady boarder left the house
to 60 to New York. After her departure
there were frequent quarrels between the
husband and wife. A couple of days ago
Bolinsky left home and has not since been
seen or heard of by any of his friends. and
Mrs. Bolinsky is positive that he has also
gone to New York to join his former
boarder.

SETTLED IT AT LAST.
Switchmen Ordered to Accept the
Companies Proposition.
THE MEN GET A RAISE ANYWAY.
Three Hundred Timers Strike for an In.
crease in Wages.
AXMAKERS PLEASED BY THE TRUST

The controversy between the railway COM
panies and their employees, which has been
in progress for more than two weeks, was
settled last evening by the Supreme Council
of the Federation accepting the propositions
of the companies. The council was in ses-
sion all day hearing the reports of the COM
mittee which had waited on the officials oi
the Pennsylvania Company. This commit
tee had met the Executive Board of the
company, and went over the figures offered
the men. They agreed that the wages offered
the conductors were acceptable, but the men
asked that the wages offered the brakemen
be increased from So 16 and 50 % to 81 40
and So 81 for day and night work respect
lively.
These rates were considered BY the board
and they notified the men that the original
proposition contained all the concessions
they could make. This decision was reported
back to the supreme council.
A CRITICAL MOMENT.
It remained for that body to decide what
should be done by the switchmen. The
council took every possible result of such a

be hurt. The shipping interests would be
interfered with. Hundreds of men would be
thrown idle, and the repetition of such times
as were experienced in 1877 would be made
possible. When the vote was taken the
company's proposition was unanimously
ratified.
President Sergeant said last night: 'You
can simply say that the propositions of the
companies have been accepted, and there
will be no strike-not even any excitement.
But will say that if it had not been for the
supreme council your roads would have
been tied up long ago"
A GENERAL MEETING TONIGHT.
Mr.. Sergeant will leave the city this
morning. but the other members Of the coun-
Gil will remain over tonight to attend a
general meeting of railway employees to be
held at No. 101 Fifth avenue. The members
of the council will explain to the men why
the terms were accepted, and as Mr.. Ser
geant put 1t, "give them some good advice. u
The wages secured by the men is a con-
siderable advance over their former pay.
They have secured an increase of from II to
| 20 cents day.
The decision of the supreme council was
reached too late to see any of the railway
officials, but it is likely that the new rates
will go into effect to-day, as some of the
roads had already notified their men to that
effect

Percy F. Smith, of the Pennsylvania

convention Of the Retail Merchants Asso-

dorsed the tariff bill on sugar, and recon-
mended Pennsylvania Congressman to vote
for it. The question of clerks salaries was

and the per capita tax was reduced to %

ports showed that there are thousands of

merchants amounts to millions annually.

the necessary business. The combination
is working nicely, and so far all the mem

The trade has been off for sometime, and
the manufacturers under the distribution OF
orders haven't been getting as many as
under the old grab system, but they ex-
pected that under the trust the dealers are
learning to buy close. They don't order
large quantities away ahead and then only
take half They are beginning to buy just
what they need, and this is advantageous to
the makers. No change was made in prices.
