RAILWAY Conductors WIN.
Their Suit Against the Order of
Railway Conductors Goes to
Them by Default.

BUFFALO. N. Y, June 1S.-This
morning in the county clerks Office
judgment in default was entered in
suite brought by forty seven Lehigh
Valley conductors who went out on
strike last November against the Or
der Of Railway Conductors. The ag.
gregRte amount involved is $l1, 750
The men allege that they were prom
ised @ strike allowance until they
found work but Grand Conductor
Clark denied this and repudiated their
claims, hence the action to recover.
The summons and complaint in the
forty-seyen cases were served on Grand
Conductor CLARK three weeks ago and
this morning the twenty days allowed
for answering elapsed without a re.
ply from the order, whereupon judg.
ment in default was entered. The
order. however. has retained counsel to
fight the case, and it Is likely that
prior to the issue Of executions the de-
fault fees will be, paid and the case re.
opened The signing of the judgments
will in all probability lead the grand
officers to fulfill their threat to annul
the charter Of Buffalo lodge.

The Laeoe and Shiffer Coal company
and the Greenwood Coal company,
Yesterday obtained preliminary in {.
junction against County Commits
sioners s. w. Roberts, Giles Roberts.
and John Demuth snd County Treas
urer D. W. Powell. The injunction Is
for the purpose of restraining the
county treasurer from selling certain
coal lands for taxes and to compel the
county commissioners to strike off
what is claimed to be an illegal assess
ment against the land.
In their bill of complaint 1t is alleged
that the Laco and Shiffer Coal COM
pany Ia the owner of IL acres and elk
perches of the "Black Hall William
Ball" tract and 1i3 acres Of the Viii.
liam Wright tract all in Laekawanna
township and have leased the coal to

sioners' Office to change the entry on
the assessment book SO that q portion
of it was assessed to him for the year
1899. He did not pay the taxes and
the land was advertised to be sold in
consequence
The complaints maintain that it was
illegal to assess any Of the land TO
Springer. and that the taxes on the
whole tract was paid by them. For
those reasons they ask that the assess
ment be stricken off and the treasurer
prevented from selling the land. The
preliminary injunction granted is made
rsturnable Thursday, June 81.

BADLY Frightened PASSENGERS.
Some of the Worst Scared of Them
Were Those Who Looked
the Bravest.

GLASGOW, June 1S.-J. D. B. Ram
sey, Of Madison, Wis, who was pas
ssnger Oh the Ethiopia when she came
into collision with an iceberg on June
6. says that the shock frightened the
passengers greatly, everybody rushing
to the decks. 1--WE all thought the yes
sci was sinking" said Mr.. Ramsey, ''as
when she backed away from the ice
berg her bow dropped and her stern
rose. The passengers made rush for
the boats and the order was issued to
clear them away ready for use. No
body, however, entered the boats. Half
an hour afterwards the captain called
the passengers into the cabin and as
sured us that we were not in any i'm.

Other passengers from the Ethiopia

EcRoEs FROM THe STRIKE.

Reports from Ohio mining centers show
that the resumption of work has been gen.
eral.
Over 1000 people yesterday found work
in the various mines in the vicinity of Bel
laire, o.
The mines at HaloYers on the GAINESVILLE
and Ohio river resumed operations with n
full force,
The defeat of President Adams, of the
Ohio miners, in his attempt to carry tho
miners against the terms Of settlement, is
conceded.
Nearly all OF the many mills and fncto-
ries in the vicinity Of Pittsburg that have
been closed by the fuel famine are prepar-
ing to resume at once.
At the miners mass meeting held Mon
day OF Cambridge, o., decision was
reached, after several ballots to return to
work. Every dissenting vote came from
foreigners.
The situation in the river district ia still
complicated 1t is not known when the
river pits will resume. 1t is possible that
serious complications may yet arise in the
river districts.
The Columbus agreement for general
resumption Of mining did not apply to tho
central Pennsylvania region, for the reason
that these operators were not represented
at the meeting in Columbus.
Many of the miners at Shawnee, O., re-
sumed work and others are preparing to
start up. This is also the case along the
Shawnee branch Of the Columbus, Shaw
nee and Hooking. The Congo mine will
start up tomorrow.
The 900 Salineville, o., miners refuse TO
90 to work except at the differential of 10
cents per ton demanded by tho miners of
Columbiana county, who made a scale Sat
urday of 10 cents. The operators will
probably accept that rate.
BY Thursday it is expected that n ma
iority of the mines in tho pittsburg dis
trict will be in operation. Tho miners and
operators have not altogether definitely
settled concerning the dead work scale
and the price to be paid for laborers.
The operators along the Cincinnati and
Muskingum Valley railroads held meet
ing in GAINESVILLE, o., and refused to accede
to the demands OF the miners for differ
entail of 10 cents above tho Hooking Val
ley scale, but offered to pay five cents
above their scale.
Work was resumed inadvertently Mt all
the lronwood, Mich, mines, except the
East Morris where 140 men are out The
strike will probably become general in n
few days and = 600 in Ironwood alone will
be affected, The union demands a.. OC per
day for all men employed underground
and Sl.G5 per day for surface laborers.
They are now receiving from 30 cents to
81 80 per day.
There does not seem to be any prospect
for an early settlement of the miners
strike in the vicinity of Danville. ILL., The
Springfield scale for Danville is 90 cents,
which the operators say they cannot and
will not pay. They have for years had 10
per cent. differential from Indiana, which
means 80 cents for Danville. This tho mi.
ners say they will never accept. Before
the strike the scale was 55 cents.

six weeks revising and rerating the

SENATORS PROFESS IGNORANCE.
They All Seem to Know Very Little
About the Wilson 5iPs Sugar
Schedule.

WASHINGTON, June 1S The examin-
alton of senator's was continued by the
sugar trust investigation committee
and several Of the eleven remaining
senators who did not appear Saturday
gave their evidence. Senator Cameron
was the first witness. and no answered
all the drag-net questions about specu.
lating in sugar stock in tho negative.
Senator Cameron was examined with
reference to the meeting in his room
between Senator Jones and Mr.. II. o.
Havemeyer.
Senator Morgan was another i'm
portant witness, and his testimony ex-
tended outside the set questions to the
conference he had with other senators
in the interest of re .arrang ging the sugar
schedule of the the tariff bill. Other
senator's who testified were Messrs.
Irhy and Washburn.
Correspondent Rowland, Of the New
York Press, was also questioned with
reference to the information ne thought
ne possessed duplicating Senator Ran
som in sugar speculation, which was
so thoroughly dsprov ed BY the
statement Of General Ransom Satur -
day, when ne showed that his son,
George Ransom, and his messenger =,
Captain Barnes, had placed small bets
on sugar in bucket shops. Mr.. How
land confirmed Senator Ransom's s
statement. aud said he had no evidence
to the contrary.
Senator German said "No" to all the
questions. He was asked about the in
terview he had with representatives of
the refining companies and other sena-
tors, and replied that their interviews
were such as honorable men might
hold in an honest endeavor to arrange
a tariff bill upon which the party would
unite. When asked about campaign
distributions, Mr.. German said that
while he was member OF the national
committee he never heard anything
about contributions from the sugar
trust or any one representing them.
