JERSEY CRY, Dec. q. The grand
grievance committee of the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers held a conference
today In this city with committees from
the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Firemen
and Brakemen. The object OF the con-
ference was to convince the Erie officials
they were wrong IN s~uspending the four
engineers who had refused to sub
scribe to the new laws established by the
Erie. The new laws require all trainmen
to waive compensation from the ompan
IN case of accident, require freight engineers
and brakemen to become responsible for
damage to freight and railway property in
case of accident a~ndrequire engineers to 90
through civil service examination. The
committee viii recommend to the general
committee that the four engineers be re-
lnstated and the new rules be abolished. If
these recommendations are not adopted a
strike on the whole Erie system Will fol-
low.
JERSEY CRY, n. j., Dec. 2S.-A strike
on the New York, Erie & Western rail
road, which will extend from this city to
Buffalo, Is threatened. The trouble is
caused by the recent discharge of four en-
glneers. The discharged men composed a
committee appointed by the local brother
hood, who presented a protest to the Off
Gals OF the company against compelling
employees to undergo an examination and
sign a certain agreement. The general
standing grievance committee of the
Erie railroad, to whom the discharged
men appealed, to day held a meeting at
PavOnla, n. j., to discuss the matter. 1t
was resolved to demand a reinstatement of
the discharged men and the withdrawal of
the agreement. If the company refuses to
concede the demands of the men, the en-
gineers, fremen and switchmen of the
road will strike. If the railroad company
does not readily agree Chief Arthur will
be called upon to intercede between the
company and the men. Advises from
Middleton and Port Jarvis report all quiet
In the Erie yards.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 28.-The contemplate
ed strike at Somerset, KY, by the conduct
ors of the Cincinnati Southern road is re-
garded by the officers here as formidable.
Withid the last ten days nine conductors
have been discharged at Somerset, which
is the end of the division and headquar-
tiers of the superintendent of t~ransporta-
ton. The cause of the discharge was the
refusal to leave an organization called the
Brotherhood of Railway Conductors. 1t
is allied to the Brotherhood of Railway
Engineers. 1t was stated last night that
Arthur was at Somerset to help make a
compromise. Inquiry fails to confirm the
report.

saulted by the District Attorney.
ASHLAND, Wis, Dec. 20.-District At
torney Rossman went into the private of
fee of Managing Editor Doyle of the Daily
News, last night, and made a vicious as
sault upon him. A hand-to-hand scufie

fered and the fight was stopped. The fight
was the outcome of a series of articles
which have appeared III the News reflect
ing on the district attorneys bearing in
certain law cases in which Ross
man has been retained as counsel. The
paper has started a crusade against the
district attorney and claims to have evil
dence in its possession which reflects
against his administration of the affairs
of his Office. Doyle wrote the articles that
have appeared and in them accused Ross
man of crookedness. Rossman is a large
man weighing over 200 pounds while
Doyle is a small man. The articles in
question have created a sensation through
out the city and county.

The Chicago Board of Trade Take Action
ON tho RiSa in Ratac

on the Rise in Rates.
CHICAGO, Dec. ga meeting of the
board of trade was held to-day for the
purpose o taking action upon the increase
Of elevator rates on grain was stormy but
brief. The leading feature of the discus
sion was the practice of warehouse men
buying grain and storing it in their own
elevators. thereby enabling themselves to
sell at lower rates than regular traders on
commission. Nearly every important
grain dealer in the city was present at the
meeting and elevator men were a small
minority. The upshot of the proceedings
was the adoption of a resolution offered by
W. j. Hope, condemning the advance in
elevator rates and demanding its revoca-
ton. The directors of the board were IN
structed to investigate. All charges
against warehouse men and where accused,
were found to have bought grain for hand
ling in their own elevators, the receipts
were to be declared not regular for deliv-
cry on contracts. II. H. Aldrich, A. NJ.
Wright, Geo. Clark, H. F. Dansman and
E. F. Washburn, were appointed a COM
mittee to wait upon the elevator men and
notify them of the sentiment of the board.

a druggist In the town, with Graham ar
ranged the plot.

horseback riding with a Christmas party,
and purposely becoming separated from
their companions rode rapidly to Rogers

Chattanooga, being joined by Prof. Robe
son. Meanwhile. DIR. Mayes had come to
this city and procured the license and the
services of the Rev. DIR. Bachman to per-
form the ceremony. When the bridal party
reached here they found that In some way
their secret had leaked out, and the Rev.

to perform the ceremony. They then drove

of St. Paul's Episcopal church and they
succeeded in having the ceremony perform
ed. They then drove TO a hotel, where a

The Woman Does the OourtIng.

In tho Ukraine, Russia, the maiden
is theone that does the counting. When
abe falls in love with man she goes
to his house and tells him the state of
her feelings If he reciprocates all is
well and formal marriage Is duly
arranged. If, however, he Is unwil-
ing, she remains there, hoping to coax
him into better MUD. The poor fell
low cannot treat her with the least dis
courtesy or turn her out, for her
friends would be sure to avenge the
insult. His best chance, therefore, If
ho Is really determined that he won't,
Is to leave his home aud stay away as
long ar she Is In 1t. This Is certainly a
peculiar way of turning a man out OF
house and home. On the Isthmus of
Darien either sex can do the courting,
with the natural result that almost
everybody gets married. There is not
quite the same chance where the girl
has to bide the notions of hcsitating
or bashful swain.-Exchange.
