trand of New York, has been formed
for the purpose of securing if possible
a change in the present management of

The opposition to the existing man
agement of the company has thus as
sumed formal shape and the committee
will shortly issue a circular soliciting
proxies for their use at the annual cleo
ton. The committee names no candi-

the dividends for some time have been
passed and the committee thinks that
there is no prospect of an immediate
resumption of them. The Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company is a trunk line and
since it has had its own line to Buffalo
it has become factor in the association.
1t has lately had it's percentage of pas
senger business increased by the Trunk
Lines Association, and there is pos
sibility in the near future that the allot-
lnent will be greater than it is now.

soon as the complete list, which is now
being made, is in hand. The stock
holders will be asked to give their prox
les to the committee, so that they may
be used at the coming election.

JoRDAN's NOSE BROKEN.
Two Sub-Treasury BoOkkeepers
Come 10 Blows.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 1S94.-A fight be-
tween employees occurred at the United
States Treasury in Wall street this
morning.
The principals in the trouble were
Frank M. Jordan, who is said to be
nephew of Assistant United States Treas
urer Conrad N Jordan, and Wade W.
Rowe, a bookkeeper.
Jordan was struck on the nose. On his
complaint Rowe was placed under arrest
by Court Oficer English of the Tombs
Police Court; and taken before Justice
Grady at that court.
Both men were very retlcent in speak
ing of the trouble.
Rowe said, before being arraigned, that
it had nothing to do with money mat
ters, but was 'office trouble" He said
Il was put under great provocation by
Jordan"
Mr.. Jordan said
1.-THE trouble is an old one, and we have
been at odds for long time. l have
been careful not to be the one to strike
the first blow
None of the clerks at the Sub-Treas-
ury had liked Rowe, but he has been
kept on because he was good book
keeper"
MI. Jordan refused to say whether
he was a nephew of Assistant United
STATES Treasurer Jordan, but he re,
had cautioned him not to speak about
the case.
The sergeant in charge at the Tombs
said he believed young Jordan's nose
had been broken by the blow which
Rowe had struck.
Rowe is "A years old, and is unmar-
ried. He lives at No. S5S State street,
Brooklyn. Frank M. Jordan lives at
No 318 West 18th street.
Rowe was held in $500 bail at the
Tombs Police Court for examination on
Saturday. His defence was that Jordan
had repeatedly inSulted him

KICKING OVER THE DEPUTY oADI
Hoboken JustEces Say Harry Barck
Has No Right to sit.

Several Justices of the Peace in Hobo
ken are kicking over Justice of the Peace
Harry Barck acting as Recorder in the
absence of Recorder McDonough who
is confined to his home by an attack Of
gout. The kicking Justices claim that
Mr.. Barck has no legal right to fill the
position, as the law defines that no
saloonkeeper can be Justice of the
Peace, and Mr.. Banek, although he at pres
ent does not conduct saloon, has an
application for a license for one in the
Board of Council.
Mr.. Barck denies that he has asked for
a license to conduct a saloon and also
claims that he gave up the saloon blisi-
ness over a year ago.
The Acting Recorder Is legal Justice
Of the Peace, having FLED his election
with the Secretary Of State. and received
his commission. Mr.. Barcl says he is
not worried over the threat that the
other justices are going to have him put
out, as Recorder McDonough appointed
him to act in his place, and the statutes
of the city give the Recorder that right

THE ANTI-P00L GLASSES.
Congressman Morse on the Interstate
Commerce Law.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is, 1S94.-Congress-
man Morse of Massachusetts feels pleas
ed with the action of the House Tues
day which, he says, practically repeals
the anti-pooling section of the inter
State Commerce law. He says he is op-
posed to the whole Interstate Commerce
law; that it is an attempt at regulation
of private business which the government
should never undertake 1.-THE law he
adds, ' interferes with legitimate COM
petition in the carrying business, dis
eliminates in favor of the trunk line
railroads and against the circuitous routes
driving business away from the Ameri-
can railroads to competing Canadian
railroads, not hampered by any such
foolish restrictions" Mr.. Morse says the
law, however, has evidently come to
stay, and he is in favor of eliminating
from it those sections that are dead let
ters, among which was the section prac-
tically repealed on Tuesday.
Congressman Morse introduced into
each of the three Congresses of which
he has been a member, a bill for the
repeal of the anti-pooling section favor
peal of the "1ong and short haul clauses
of the law which, he says, if enforced
would bar the interchange of commodi-
ties at low freights throughout the coun-
try to the injury of all our people. This
clause, he says is a dead letter, only
enforced in spots, ard he is not without
hope that the Committee on Commerce
will report favorably upon his bill for the
repeal of this section also.
