RAILWAY EMPLOYEES CONVENTION

NEW York, May 2S, 1s94.-The delegates
to the Railway Employees Convention were
late in gathering this morning at Lenox
Lyceum. and it was nearly eleven o'clock
before the body was called to order by E. E.
Clark.
1t has been decided to abandon all plans
for a complete union of the association and
to confine the federation to a union of the
associations on each system. This plan has
already been tried on the Erie, and is said to
be very satisfactory in its operation.
The general plan of organization as re-
commended for adoption consisted Of a union
on each railway system in the United States,
Mexico and Canada OF the Order of Railway
Conductors, Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
Order of Railway Telegraphers and the
Switchmens' Mutual Aid Association.
Although united in n association, each
body will retain its individual power and be
self governed.
committee, consisting of the general officers
and the chairman Of each of the six organ
~izations, is empowered to meet to de-
wise methods of settling the trouble.
In no case can a single organization
strike without the unanimous consent of the
other organizations. This plan was found
to be the only practicable one. The idea
of one organization covering the entire
country met with strenuous opposi-
ton because of the Inevitable trend
towards a Capitalization of power, and it
was thought wise to abandon it. A Com
mittee on Credentials was appointed shortly
after the opening of the session and went to
work at once examining the credentials.

REPUBLICAN, CLAP-TRAP.
Senators Hale and Frye Talk of
Canadian Doings-

WASHINGTON, May %, 1894.-A motion by
Mr.. Kyle Pop, S. d. to proceed to the con-
sideration of a resolution offered by him
last week in relation to Hawaii, was agreed
to, yeae 36, nays IL; but as twenty-five min
utes had been consumed in the efortUo obtain
a quorum, there were only a few minutes
left before the time for taking up the tariff
bill. Within those few minutes MI.
Blackburn, Dem, Ky,l expressed the
conviction that no conclusion could
morning hour, OF unless a time was fixed by
the Senate for its consideration; II Mr..
Sherman tRep. Chic gave it as his opinion
that the resolution reported from the Com
Committee on foreign relations was unob-
jectionahle and ought to be adopted.
The matter was cut off the Vice President
laying the Tariff bill before the Senate
The lumber schedule D) having been
reached before the adjournment on
Saturday, Mr.. Hale rep, Me- offered an
amendment to insert at the first para
graph of that schedule the provision Of ex-
isting law putting a duty of 81 per thousand
feet on sawed boards, and on sawed lumber
81 per thousand feet, etc. Mr.. Hale
went on to state facts and to give
figures in support of his amend
ment. If duty were to be put on coal and
iron ore, he did not see why the great lum-
Der interest should be left in the lurch. He
gave the annual lumber product, by
fsagsaPhiea group, sr0u $4,000 q 600; f0l Central
group Mem York and Pennsylvania S44.-
Co., 600; Lake group, S8S, 00O, 900; South
kern groap, $50, DOC, 900; Pacific group,
S25, 000, 900, and S11 900, 900 from points not
strictly in any OF these groups. So he did
not feel that he was presenting the case of a
mere local industry.
In a discussion OF the lumber schedule Mr..
Frye. (Rep. Mo- said that Canada was one
of the worst enemies the United States had.
She was to small for us to fight, and had
therefore instituted and kept up a
system of ''nagging,D like that of tearing
down the American the other day and
distributing it's pieces through the
street. Mr.. Frye said that he had no sym
patny with the men who had been arrested
for violating the laws that had been
passed to protect the fish for sportsmen,
but he hoped Canada would infict
upon them the highest punishment it
could under law. But Notwithstanding
the fact that Canadian interests were
opposed to those of this country, Mr..
Frye said that the United States were con-
stantly doing her favors, and the latest at
tempt in that line was the putting of lumber
on the free list. With free iron, coal and
lumber, Canada would, he said, drive half
the American shipping from the Great
| Lakes.
The discussion on Mr.. Hale's amendment
to continue the existing duties ON sawed
boards and lumber continued up till noon
without reaching q vote, and then Mr.. Walsh
Dem CAT, addressed the Senate on the
| general subject of the tariff.

DROWNING THE QUEEN OF MAY
Impressive Ceremony at st. Peters
Church last Night,

The shrill music of the fife and the rattle
of drums gave notice to the thousands that
filed the streets around st. Peters that the
May procession had begun at half-past seven
last night. Long before that time the Sod
alities had begun to assemble in the college
playground. When all was in order, the
march began. First came the professional
banner of the Children of Mary, followed by
fifty acolytes in purple, white. black and
red cassocks; then came the first communion
children, the boys in black with silk badges
and buttonhole bouquets; the girls in white
lawn, with white wells and floral crowns.
After these came the school Sodalities

the Children of Mary, the Young Ladies'
Sodality, the Married Ladies' Sodality and
the Married Mems Soda1ty. The line of

Warren to Grand, Grand to Van Worst, to
the church. Rev. Father Harper, ST.,
O'Carroll. ST., and ~Prendergast. Sd,
marched with the procession. The counter
marching Of the hundreds OF sodalities, the
brilliant banners and the flowers carried in
! the ranks combined to make a beautiful
| picture that will long remain impressed on
the minds of the spectators.
The coronation sermon was preached by
| Father John Prendergast, ST., of Savan-
nah, Ga. h crowning of the Queen OF
May, Mary immaculate, took place at the
close Of the sermon. Miss May Mylotte,
| Miss Lizzie Nelson and Miss Bessie Goldman,

! Thy Name.n The orchestra, the fife and
| drum corps and the organ combined to swell
| the harmony. AS the singing began the

SHE Loved THE LEADER
So When Papa Vassar Objected
Katie Just Went Off and
Got Married.

Mr.. Joseph Vogler, the we'll known musi-
clan, and a brother Of Otto Vogler who led
the Opera House orchestra, has furnished
the residents of the Greenville section with
a choice bit of gossip by clipping with Kate
Vassar, the si~xteen-year-old daughter of
Robert Vassar of No. 613 Garfield avenue.
The relatives Of both the young lady and
Voglor have made every effort to keep the
matter a secret, but their efforts were UNI
successful, and now the residents of Green
vile are anxiously awaiting the full par
~ticulars Of the clandestine marriage. But
it is extremely doubtful if their curiosity
will be satisfied, as neither the Vassal's nor
Woglers will give out any particulars Of the
affair.
The first lntimation that Mr.. and Mrs.
Vassar had of their daughters marriage
was on Monday last, when they were told
that she was married the day previous to
Vogler, at the Henry Street Lutheran
Church, Brooklyn. They looked into the
them was true in every detail. When Kate
left home or Sunday she did not say where
she was going, and left as unconcerned as
though she was going for a walk. Vogler
was waiting for her nearby, and together
the couple went to Brooklyn.
PAPA yAssAR OBJECTED.
Vogler met his young wife about a year
ago, and began to pay her considerable at
tention. He visited her at her home until
Mr.. Vassar objected, and ordered him to
cease paving attention to his daughter. This
attempt to ward off Cupid's dart only made
Vogler more determined to win the hand CT
Katie, and he met her clandestinely, until
he popped the question and was accepted.
Then he set the day for the wedding, and
planned the elopemept. Mr.. Vassar OBJ
jected to having Vogler for a son-in-law be-
cause he is over thirty-two. years
old. a widower and the father OF
two children, one of which. a girl, is nine
years old. MI. Vassar, however, never inn
agined that his daughter was infatuated
with Vogler. He thought that the infatua-
ton was only on Mr.. Vogler's side, and that
his daughter would never consent to become
his wife. His is, therefore, not only shocked
bull deeply mortified over bis daughters es-
capade.
Vogler resided with his two children at
No. 2 Henry Place, Greenville.
He is the leader Of Miners
and is as well known in the metropolis as IN
Greenville. His young wife is also well
known in G~reenville, where she has resided
the greater part of her life. She is a blonde
and considered very pretty. As she always
seemed quiet and unassuming, her friends
are greatly surprised at her elopement.
THE vAssARs SURPRISED.
Mr.. George Vassar, q brother of the young
bride, when interviewed by a reporter of
The JERSEY CITY NEWS, admitted that his
sister had eloped with Vogler, but refused to
discuss the matter any further than to say
that he and his parents were surprised at
kate's action.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vogler have rented a cosy
fiat in Brooklyn and nave begun housekeep-

might have cause to dread the change
