CLOAK MAKERS STRIKE.
Ii Reaches Termination aud the Hands
Go Back to Work.

Rev. DIR. Morals and George Randorf. who
have been interesting themselves in the well
fare of the striking Philadelphia cloak makers,
announced yesterday that the controversy had
been terminated. The men state that they re-
turn az a slight advance in the schedule of rates
with the promise OF another raise in the near
future. On their part they concede the en-
ploymsnt of persons not connected with the
unions. They considered that their being
taken on again to work upon such an under
standing was a victory for the operatives over
the manufacturers
In answer to inquiries at Blum Bros, Market
street below Broad. Dir. G.. Blum said that the
manufacturers understanding OF the matter
was that the hands returned to work uncondi-
tonaLiy. The first offer to compromise bad
proposed that the operatives return, the man
utacturers agreeing 10 take back everybody
aud discharge the ''scabs" To that the manu-
facturers replied that they couldn't discharge
those who had been faithful to them or who
had rallied to their assistance when they needed
aid. Then, through Or. Morals and Mr.. Ran
jorf, the operatives offered 70 return uncOn-
ditonally. That proposition the manufactur
ers accepted Saturday the hands did not re-
turn 10 work, but yesterday they resumed
their occupation and everything went on
smoothly.
Asked about the colored people and their in
ferests Mr.. Blum said that they had fitted up
very nicely for themselves a house at 18th and
Locust streets. where they would carry on the
work which the manufacturers bad promised
to give them. He thought thera would be
work enough for both classes of operatives

THE MOUNT PENN DISASTER.
The Coroner's Jury Throws the Re.
spOnsibilitv on the Company.

The coroner's investigation Of the causes OF
the Mount Penn Gravity railroad accident be-
gan at 10 O'Clock Yesterday in Reading The
jury met at $50, viewed the bodies o. Messrs.
Rettew and Levan and proceeded to the city
hall, where the testimony was heard. H. Will
lis Bland represented the Mount Penn Gravity
Railroad Company. who had a stenographer on
hand to take the proceedings.
After hearing witnesses the jury rendered the
following verdict: AFTER long deliberation and
careful review of the evidence, the jury con-
clude that the fact that the sos a. m. train
stuck at the cemetery curve admonished all
concerned that there was danger with the
brakes. To put the blame on the conductor or
the brakeman might be reasonable, but they
should not bear the responsibility in acting as
agents for the company. which, it is admitted.
employed brakemen and car inspectors who
knew nothing about the brake lately adopted
and which had not stood the test of experience. ~
The condition of Mrs. W. A. Fl. Schmehl who
was in the Mount Penn Gravity accident. is
growing worse every hour She is unconscious
since the occurrence and will die. Mrs. Nathan
Schiller is also very low and may die. Misses

jured are improving and will recover.
