A WATERFRONT WAR.
Hotel Runners and Stockton Steame
Employees Collide.


Employees Collide.
White-winged peace fed hurriedly away
from the water front early yesterday
morning and in her place stood for the
space of several CORY rounds grim-visaged
war.
Michael Francis McCaffrey, a hotel
runner, it was who inaugurated reign OF
strife that made Washington-street wharf
and the deck of the Mary CARAT lurid
with the flames of contention.
Mr.. McCaffrey, revolving in an irregular
orbit among the trunks and valises be-
longing to the erstwhile passengers of the
steamer, accidentally came in conjunction
with River Express Agent Finnegan, and
from this planetary impingement battle
ensued.
The smoke of the conflict had hardly
cleared away from the wharf when war
broke out on the Stockton boat.
Michael John Barnes, another hotel
runner, ventured aboard the vessel in
search of a possible customer for his
hostelry and ran afoul of the steamers
head waiter NJ J. Barnes version of the
series of reasons for his presence there in
a locality forbidden to runners was not
quite satisfactory, and presently the
whole personnel of the Mary Garratt's
dining-room was executing a skirt-or
rather an apron-dance upon his anatomy.
The sanguinary stains of this second con-
flict were hardly wiped from the steamer
decks when D. D. Cohn, another runner
and expressman, became involved in a
muscular argument with somebody-he is
yet unable to identity or locate the other
debater-over the transportation charges OF
five trunks. In the terse language of Off,
Ger Mahoney, who didn't see the fight,
"Mr. Cohn fell a-running, got up and Kept
on running"
Cohn had hardly gotten clear of the
wreck of himself when A. S. Cook, en-

The committee of five, which was ap-
pointed to take immediate measures to Sc

ton met last evening and were assured by
many ex city officials and several holding
public offices now, but whose names are

But lie wasn't Drunk Enough SO He

2 An odd and picturesque character came
to the old City Prison last night and amid
hiccoughs and sobs asked to be taken in out
of the wet. His face was covered with
blood, which flowed from an Insignificant
cut over his right eye.
''Im killed." he said; 81 know 1 am.

drunk as two lords. He had succeeded in
getting arrested at last. When searched
the sum of $18 was found in his pocket.

ness Originating on the Western and Att 1antic-Can Refuse to Prorate With
 Outside" Line on Through Traffic.

Atlanta, Ga, April 18--The right of a traffic association to boycott a road that does not conform to it's rules seems to have been decided favorably-in part, at least-in the recent decision of Judge Lumpkin in the case of the Seaboard Air Line against the Western and Atlantic and the Nashville Chattannoga and St. houis.
 An order was issued today by the last named road, in accordance with the de- cision of the court, putting into effect the boycott against the Seaboard insofar as through rates are concerned.
 The Southern Railway and Steam ship association claims a great victory in this, just as the Seaboard claimed a victory in the injunction against the boycott on local traffic. The association declared boycott against the Sea- board on the charge of cutting rates against the associated lines. The Sea- board attempted to thwart the boycott by enjoinng the Western and Atlantic, which is leased by the Nashville, Chat tanooga and St. Louis the claim being advanced that by a private contract be- tween these companies and the Sea- board the same advantages in rates should always be allowed the Seaboard as any other road enjoying the use of the Western and Atlantic's terminals in Atlanta.
 
 the Southern Railway and Steamship as- sociatien according to the claims of the association when he ruled that the Vest ern and Atlantic could only be enjoined from boycottng in so far as the local businesss originating on the road was concerned On business originating be- yond Chattanooga the Western and At lantic can apply boycott rules and refuse prorating arrangements with the Sea- board.
 Quite an important point is involved in the decision that an association of rail- roads has the right to boycott another road. Even in this case, where private contract existed for an equality of terms, the court has ruled that in the matter of through traffic the Western and At lantic has the right to make terms with one road and refuse to do so with an other.
 Commissioner Stahlman of the South ern Railway and Steamship association says his non-intercourse order against the Seaboard Air Line has been sub- stantially legalized and next Monday the boycott will be in full force and effect against the Seaboard in the matter of interchanging through freight.

Another Arrest.

Chicago, April 1S.-The United States secret service men last night arrested c. O. Jones, a newspaper artist of this city, for complicity in counterfeiting the 2-cent stamp. Another man was also taken into custody, but his identity was not revealed. More arrests in Chicago and other cities are expected today. The officers are certain they are on tho right trail, and will soon have the entire gang in custody, in addition to obtaining pos session of the machinery with which the work was done.
 Captain Porter and Inspector Stuart searched Jones' office, in the Bort build ing, this morning, and found a camera, perforator, presses and other parapher- nalia used in the manufacture of the bogus stamps. If any stamps or plates were found the officers did not display them, nor will they give out any infor- nation until they hear from Washing ton. ''The story of this counterfeit runs back four years,' said Captain Porter; that is all that can say at present.
 It is reported that Warren F.. Thompson, matrimonial agent at No. 69 Dearborn street, is implicated in the affair. Thompson's office was raided for stamps Tuesday afternoon, and he ad- mitted to the officers that he had pur- chased $225 worth of the counterfeit stamps and used them before he learned of their counterfeit character.
