KICKS on TIE DEMURRAGE.
The Car Service AssocIatiou's Plans the
Subject OF Much sorlous Dissatisfaction.

Tho Car Service Associations Plans thu
Subject OF Much Serious Dissatisfaction.
Every now and then there is q cry
goes up against the demurrags charges
of the Pittsburgh Car Service Associa'
tion. The general public knows little
Of the iustice OF the objections, and has
come to regard the Car Service Associa.
ton as in general way a good thing.
When a car is delivered 10 the consignse
and is not unloaded within twenty.four
hours, q charge for OBTAINING the car is
made. As all the railroads are in the
association, II does no good, usually, to
kick.
theoretically the Associations work.
ings may be admirable, but Judging
from the loud storm OF protests and the
character OF the professions, its practical
operation Is open to the most serious
criticism.
There is q movement on foot here now
to take united action against the con.
tinuance OF practices on the partot the
Association which, 1t is claimed, are
neither reasonable nor equitable.
A paper was drawn up yesterday, and
will be circulated among jobbers, manu-.
facturers and commission men, express.

meeting 10 be. called hereafter, to pass
resolutions Of protest.
Among those who have suffered most
severely from the alleged injustice are
A. ]. Sweeney & Son, jolly Bros, the
contractors, the Riverside Company,
Hobbs Glass Company, Dowler Bros,
the feed dealers, and others.
The Riverside Company has fire.
quently been asked to pay dsmurrage
on numerous cars OF the arrival OF which
they had received no notice. They have |
uniformly refused to pay.
A. ]. Sweeney & Son also refused once
or twice to pay demurrage, but have
been notified that they must pay in
order to get any accommodations.
The same order was enforced against
Jolly Bros, who in order TO get material
badly needed, were compelled TO pay
demurrage charges on former shipments
Of which they claim their first notice Of
arrival was received in the form OF bill
for demurrsge for several days.
The Hobbs Glass company had con-
signment Of sand on the Baltimore u
Ohio road between here and Benwood
for several days, and was unable to se-
cure its delivery by repeated and argent
requests, aud the supply Of sand got 50
low that the company had to 50 out and
buy sand to prevent tho suspension Of
work; yet II is alleged that the Car Ser.
vice Association actually presented bills
for demurrage for the time the cars lay
on the road and the company was max.
ing constant and strenuous efforts TO get
the sand.
Dowler Bros. refused to pay demur.
rage charges, and have successfully ie-
sisted attempts to collect. 1t is occur
rences Of this sort that have made the
Wheeling freight receivers hot, and in
view Of which they propose to make
united, formal protest in a way that will
be recognized. Properly conducted,
they say they have no objections 10 the

GALITINADO'S ESCAPE.
Poor Telescopes at the Life
Saving Station.

In speaking of Philip CaliJinado's Won
derful escape from drowning at the Ocean
Beach on Wednesday, an account Of which
appeared IN Thursdays CALL, Captain
Thomas J. Hallahan of the Golden Gate
Life-SaTing Station gave the following ad-
ditional particulars OF the accident yester-
day.
Before coming directly to the story the
captain explained that on the day of the
crab-catcher's mishap stiff breeze sprang
up at noon, and that on taking view of
the scene lie discovered fourteen boats in
sight. fiEe OF which were in particularly
hazardous positions, For this reason he
Immediately placed a lookout on top of the
bOat-hOuse, with instructions to notify him
at once If any of the five got in peril. Being
shorthanded, a Horse was provided TO help
haul the boat in case of necessity, and every
thing was got in readiness for an emergency,
but all OF the fourteen boats passed IN
safely.
AT 6 o'clock that evening the lookout
whose watch it was went 10 report at the
southland key post at the Ocean House,
three and half miles south of the station,
and there learned for the first time of Cali
tinado's accident. He reported to me as
soon as possible afterward, when | went
with assistance, hauled up the skiif. gear
and netting above high-water mark ana
placed a guard to protect them till the
OnuCA lcLuAGttU 4Ol luell next uOIulUH Will
q wagon.
Next day he investigated the accident and
learned that at about l o'clock Charley
Mays graders noticed the fisherman abreast
OF the Ocean House, going up. Ali at once
the mast carried away and fell overheard.
The next thing they saw was the sklff COM
ing through the breakers with the man still
~ 1t. As soon as II struck he jumped into
the water and endeavOred to keep her
on her keel, but the surf struck her on her
quarter, threw him off and hurled him into
the undertow. For about thirty minutes
after this the man was tossed back and
forth among the breakers, but at last, when
almost worn ont by his efforts, he was
grabbed by Sam Small and three Of the
graders men, who had been anxiousy
watching his desperate struggles while wait
Ing an opportunity TO render assistance
Having no means of rescue at hand, how
ever, the man would surely have been lost
but for The fact that he is a powerful SWIM
mer. He procured 4 dry outfit from the
proprietor Of the Ocean House, proceeded
to town and next day returned for his skiff
and nets. He was badly hurt on the thigh
Dy blow from the boat when the sea
struck her.
The boat is what is known as a fat skiff.
with twelye-inch keel, and the captain
claims that at the distance she was when
the accident happened she did not come
WITHIN range Of the glasses at the station.
HAD her sail been up, however, when she
got INTO dangerous waters, that would have
brought her into range and help would con-
sequently have been sent to her.
