DIRECTORS ORGANIZE
TIE ISLAND FERRY BOARD GETS DOWN TO
BUSINESS.
Election Of Oaicsrs-Commiiiss 10 Fix Toll Rates
and Arrange the Necessary D'iails-Ar
Hsarne's Mission.

The Board Of Directors Of the Island
Ferry and Packet Company, which was
chosen 81 the meeting OF stockholders
At st. Luke's Chapel, on Broadway,
Tuesday evening, met yesterday morn
ing at the Office OF VIM. d. Hsarne, tor
the purpose Of effectinE an organiza-
ton. Mr.. NJ. J. McFadden, one of the
Directors, rendered his resignation, and
the vacancy was filed by the election
Hon. J. B, Sommerville.
The Board then proceeded to an cleo
ton. Mr. II. P. McGregor was chosen
president and Mr.. Lewis Jones vice
president. Mr.. w. II. Chapman was
made temporary secretary. An eEeeu-
tive committee was chosen, as provided
by the bylaws, consisting Of the follow
ing gentlemen: II. p. McGregor, Capt.
WIN. Prince aad w. b. Chapman. The
duties OF this committee, as fixed by
the bylaws, are to conduct the business
of the ferry between meetings OF the
Board OF Directors, their action being
subject to the approval of the Board.
Tho matter Of fixing the rate Of tolls
on the now ferry then came up for con-
sideration. After some discussion, it
was decided TO leave the matter in the
hands of a committee, composed OF
Myron Hubbard, Robert Burt, Capt.
WIN. Prince and II. p. McGregor. 1t
is understood that the rates to be estab-
lished by the committee will be very
reasonable, at least in a comparative
sense. The committee will present It's
report at a meeting to be held Saturday
night, at the rooms Of the Island Club,
on Virginia street.
A committee was also selected TO at
tend 70 the grading of Ohio street, the
approach to the Island float. This i'm
portant matter will receive prompt at
tentiOn. The mission Of Mr.. Hearne in
Pittsburg appears to have been success
full, as the 81, 500 which was deposited
10 the order of the company which
owned the boat is again 10 the hands OF
the committee. 1t is learned also that
under the direction Of the insurance
company, the boat will be raised at
Charleston without any cost to the new
owners. From all this il appears that
the question of ownership Of the Charles
ton has been decided 10 manner fav-
Orable TO the local company.
The committee authorized Capt.
Prince to bring his new floats here, in
order TO be ready for business UPON the
arrival OF the Charleston. The floats
on hand will be repaired Immediately.
Secretary Chapman was authorized to
insert notices in the papers, to the ef-
feet that the original committee ap-
pointed by the stockholders, will wind
up its business, and the management Of
the ferry will be placed exclusively in
the hands Of the new Board OF Direc-
tors. Mr.. John r. NJ endel was author
lied 10 continue soliciting payment Of
the balance on stock subscriptions.
When the boat is raised, it will be
taken to the docks at Point Pleasant,
and placed in first class shape, before
being put ia operation. 1t will be but
short time until the ferry will be run
ming regularly.

ANOTHER CUT.
STREET CAR MEN REDUCED TO SIXTEEN
CENTS AN HOUR,
Making a Cut Of twenty-five Per cent in FcOr
Nonths-Ths Men will Accspi-Ths Miners.
0lhsF Labor News

All the motormsn and conductors OF
the Wheeling Street Railway Company
have been offered a reduction. 1t came
very unexpectedly to all the street car
men, as they expected soon to have
their former wages restored. The men
accept the situation philosophically and
will not strike, as they know there
would bs hundreds eager for their posi-
tions.
The notice was posted yesterday
morning at the dispatcher's Office at the
car barns. 1t read that beginning this
morning all the motormsn and conduc-
tors would have their wages reduced to
sixteen cents an hour. The street car
men would not believe the report till
they read the notices.
Previous to about four months ago.
the operators and conductors got twenty
cents an hour for their labor. Then
they were Unexpectedly reduced twelve
aud one-half per cent. This made their
WAGES SbNCub6OQ huu Ono-ualA C0hbo al
hour. They accepted this reduction
for the same reason that they are about
to accept the proposed one to take effect
to-day. The company claims that
owing to the continuing dizziness Of
trade, they cannot afford 10 give moro.
In all this makes twenty-five per
cent reduction. A street car man when
be makes full time gets in twelve hours
to constitute a days labor. Before the
reduction the first time he made $40 a
day; by the present wages, 50. 10, and by
the proposed cut to-day, when he makes
full time, he can make S1.92 day. By
the last cut he will make $3.50 less in
two weeks pay than under the present
conditions.
Sixty-fve men, regularly employed,
not counting the "subs, will be effect
ed by the cut.

Good Prospects for It's Formation, With
One Hundred Members.
The efforts Of a number Of gentlemen
interested in military matters, to or
ganize an artillery company, In this
city, are Getting with great success.
Already one hundred names have been
received. Several meetings have been
held and considerable enthusiasm de-
veloped A petition to the Governor
has been numerously signed by leading
business men, and forwarded TO that
Official.
Although the State has several pieces,
no provision is made by existing laws
pertaining 10 the militia, for artillery
companies, and there is no harness,
such as would be REQUIRED. Unless the
members Of the proposed company are
willing to pay for It's equipment, it Is
probable that an infantry outfit will
have 10 be secured. unless the Governor
commissions is as an Infantry company
and then details it for artillery duty.
Il is unde stood thata bill viii be intro
duce he next session Of the Lsgis-
ture ovide for artillery companies.
