TRAINMEN,s COMPLAINTS.
Chiefs Arthur and Sargent Likely to Ord
n Strike,

Chiefs Arthur and Sargent Likely to Order
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb. 7.-Grand Master
Sargent has just returned from Louisville,
where he and Chief Arthur met Presiden!
Smith OF the Louisville and Nashville. The
engineers had asked Of cents per mile fer pas
senger men and Mr.. Smith fatty refused.
The committee returned home to take vote
on the question of striking II they do strike,
and Mr.. Sargent thinks they will, the strike
will be indorsed by Chief Arthur, while he
Sargent will call ont the firemen.
Division Superintendent Bennett of the Penn
svlvania railroad, with headquarters at Logans-
port. denies that the recent order to refuse
freight is in anticipation of strike. He says
1t is wholly due to an unexpected accumulation
of freight which is rapidly being cleared up
however.
Mr.. Bennett said that the Pennsylvania road
was never in better condition 20 meet a strike
and added significantly: "You take a silver
dollar and lay it on a shelf for year and you
still have a silver dollar. But you lay a man on
a shelf for a year and he becomes skeleton.
That is the solution OF the capital and labor
problem"
A dispatch from Anderson says that the
blockade on east-bound freight was removed
yesterday.
CHICAGO, Feb. Officials in charge Of the
operating departing Of Chicago railroads are
saying very little in reference to the threatened
switchmen's strike. A sjority of them say
they know nothing except what they have read
in the newspapers, while others belittle the
movement.

A Steamer on the Massachusetts Coast-A
Norwegian Bark Wrecked.
CHATHAM. MASS. Feb. THE steamer Cot
tase City. from Portland for New York, is
ashore on the outer bar, blowing her whistle for
assistance. The sea is very rough and she is
pounding heavily.
The steamer has passengers and valuable
cargo. She was found 10 be in 4 dangerous
position, with heavy sea running, and up to
ii 80 a. m. no boat had been able to get near
enough to her TO render assistance.
NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Supt Ravens of the
fourth district hfe-saving service at Point
Pleasant reports that the Norwegian bark Alice.
Capt. Jacobson, from Dunkirk December p for
New York III ballast, came ashore at $50 last
night at Long Beach, n. j., life-saviny station.
Before an attempt was made to rescue the
crew by the life-saving station five Of the crew
of the bark attempted to land in their own
boat. but it was capsized in the surf and all
were drowned. The Efe-saving station finally
succeeded in getting life line attached to the
bark and by use of the brooches buoy rescued
the eleven remaining members Of the crew, in
Guiding the captain.
The bsrk's foremost is gone and she will
probably prove a total loss. The Alice is a
double-deck vessel of S17 tons, 69 feet long
and IS feet breadth of beam. She was built in
Maine in 1865 and is owned by the captain. Her
hailing port is Arendal, a seaport Of Norway.

TIE BELT ROAD PURCHASE.
Much Talk Today Over the Street Railroad

The general topic OF talk today in banking
and railroad circles was the reported purchase
OF street railroads, an account OF which was
published in yesterdays STAR. There was.
OF course. good deal OF
curiosity to know the purpose OF the deals and
which resulted in transfer Of the control Of
the persons interested. The transaction
the stock of the Belt road had been conducted
with SO much caution and reserve
that the announcements in yesterdays
STAR was the first intimation that even ordi-
narily well-informed men had that such a dea
was in progress There have been. OF courser
various rumors afioat from time TO time
relative to the purchase Of street railway
IN this city, but they have as q rule been re-
garded as mere talk. The control Of the Belt
road, however, as stated in yesterdays STAR.
had actually been purchased from the present
owners and today the question that was most
generally heard was who is the purchaser"
1t was difficult question to answer and the
fact was that 1t was not answered. The same
silence that has been maintained since Mr.. W.
A. Means. the representative OF the banking
house of Corson Il MacCartney secured the op-
ton on the stock twenty days ago. continued
today.
THE MONEY READY.
Late this afternoon it was learned that the
money was ready TO be paid over for
the stock. 1t was then understood that
the purchase is the syndicate OF Phil
adelphia, known as the Widner, Elkins
syndicate and that in the course OF a few davs
their Representatives will be given places in the
directory of the Belt company.
1t is Unknown positively whether the purchase
Of the Metropolitan and the Columbia has vet
been concluded, but i. is believed that the ne
got!ations are under way and that the same
syndicate is endeavo-ing to secure control of
these two lines.
BELT LINE STOCKHOLDERS COMPLAIN
II was said today that some of the stock
holders Of the Belt road who sold at $50 are
complaining that they did not get
enough, alleging that they have been
informed that some stockholders received
as much $50 and $40 for their stock. But il
is thought that an advance of twenty points is
enough to satisfy the ambition of even the
average street railroad stakeholder.
The deal, however. il is stated. has passed
beyond the reach OF complaints, and
with the acceptance Of the check. which
has been approved, the control Of
the Belt road passes into the hands Of the syn
dictate. Future Developments will be watched
with interest.
