RAILROADFRs CONVENTION.
The Gathering of the knights of the Road
at HazIeton Yesterday.


at Hazleton Yesterday.
The union meeting of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of
Fremen and the Brotherhood of Railroad
Tainmcn, which took place at Hazeton
yesterday was very largely attended and
was decided success.
At 1O:3O in the morning a session was held
with closed DOORS and very little was given
out for publication.
/ It was ascertaiued, however, that the mat
ter of the reinstatement of the men who
were left idle on the Hazleton division by
/ the late strike was thoroughly discussed
The strike agreement was to the effect that
these men should be taken back, as the op-
portunity offered. 1t is now over two years
and many new men have been hired, while
the demands of former employees have re-
/ ceived but little attention from those in au.
/ thority They are told that there is nothing
against them, but they have not the authority
to again employ them. 1t has been decided
1 to lay the matter before President Wilbur
and ascertain why the employees of this
division are Disseminated against.
! The afternoon session was held with open
doors, and was addressed by a number of the
state and national officers. f, w. Arnold, Of
| Peoria, H., was the principal speaker, and
after paying a tribute to the men interested
in the strike two years ago, he strongl yurged
a supreme federation of all railroad organiz
tions, which met the approval of those
present
A monster union meeting will be held
either at Mauch Chunk or Eastou on May

of Gibraltar, where he knew not soul, and
was seriously sick. The people were kind to
him, though, and nursed him back to health
He then returned to England, not having
penny when he stepped off the boat. His
second attempt to reach India was inter
mingled with many rough sea voyages, but
the port was safely reached. There the ele
ments again almost got the better of the
plucly young minister of the gospel, for the
glare of the sun and intense heat affected his
eyes, and he almost became blind An opera
tion was performed and he regained his

England and did so.

Of the highest grade Of rituals, and after his
return to England he exposed ritualsm in a
way that had not been known to Wales
before. From this point he drifted to
America with a view of learning the people
and the ways of new land. The old desire
to do evangehstic work again took possession
of him, and he preached in many places as
far as Pittsburg. Finally he permanently
located here. He is an eloquent talker, and
the Baptists are highly pleased with him as
! their pastor.

At the Russian Court.

An American lady in Russia gives the
following charming account of the first
Russian court ball of the season: 1.-The
bail opened with polOnaise, in which
the whole imperial family took part. be-
sides all the ambassadors and other
great personages. Most Russian dances
are very lively, tho nazurlza especially
SO, and very graceful when well per-
formed. The cotillon is always an i'm
portant feature, and there are also
other somewhat similar dances, but
bearing other names. The waltz is as
fashionable in Russia as anywhere else.
A gentleman who IS known to dance
well is selected as dirigeur or leader
for the evening and superintends every
dance that takes place. At the first
court ball the dancing is usually rather
quiet and stiff, the etiquette being
strictly maintained, so to speak, in
soead Of the free and easiness of the
smaller and more select dances, which
are attended by few hundreds of the
aristocracy and official classes of the
highest order, all of whom are on init
mate terms with one another

A QUEER FUNERAL
Thirty Empty Hacks Followed the Re
mains to the Grave

A<Anpey hoCkS tctlRWeQ the no
mains to the Grave.
Providence had a sensation in the
shape of an Italian funeral in which
the hearse was followed by thirty empty
hacGs, says the Providence q. IL Jour
nal This innovation WAS unprece-
denied even in Little Italy, whence
the citizens Of Providence have come
to expect many strange things.
The funeral was that of Gabriel Fer
II, who died after three months lin
gering illness at the Rhode Island hos
pital. When it was rumored among
the Italians that the sickness with
which the man was stricken would be
his last. no one doubted that his three
nephews, who are his only relatives in
this country, would be the fortuna re
heirs of his estates In fact, even two
months ago Mr.. Ferri made his last
will and testament, in which he did
bequeath all his earthly possessions to
these same eXpectant young men.
However, time works wonders, and
the nephews, not having the craft that
is usually imputed to young men whose
rich uncles are seriously sick, neglected
TO overwhelm the uncle with presents
and marks of esteem. They visited him
at his sick bed, but were loath to ex-
pend their hard-earned ducats upon
presents which are las a cloud that
vanisheth.'
This sad neglect was never forgiven,
and Signor Ferri called for his recently
made viii, and, tearing it to shreds,
made a new document, by the pro-
visions of which most of the properly
will be bestowed upon the poor of Itsl-
ian nationality.
His housekeeper was the only one to
receive direct legacy, and she was
honored with three hundred dollars
and the furniture of his establishment.
The most remarkable provision of
the viii was that the empty hacks
should follow his hearse in the process
sion, as a symbol OF the empty sorrow
u the unfortunate relatives.

Captain John Il. Bourke, treating the
subject Of Apache poisoned arrows,
writes Il do not believe III the viru-

putrid liver Of deer into which an en-
ragged rattlesnake had injected its venom.
At least can say that have seen men
and animals struck by darts alleged 10
have been so poisoned, but could not
perceive that any extra harm had been
done thereby" The question Of blood
poisoning, not uncommon cause Of

storage is TO solve the problem OF per-

are few regions that cannot have the
luxury OF apples the year round. Doing
away with the necessity OF winter ap-
ples would not necessarily be the result
Of cold storage, although it would PROB

consumed. He says:

In search Of q Portrait.

When Healy, the American artist,
was in France, he painted a portrait OF
Louis Philippe. II became the property
Of the American minister, General Cass,
and soon after its completion the king
met the artist and said to him:
MIR. Healy, understand that was
seen last evening at your minister's III
very good company. between Washing
ton and Guizot, both painted by you.
Where and how did you copy your Wash
ington."
Mr. Healy replied that he had copied
il from an engraving Of Stuart's Wash
ington, as the original had not been
within his reach. The king then said
that while he and his brothers were in
the United States they had seen Stuart
at work on this great portrait, and that
during the sittings Washington had con-
versed with the young princes.
And now, " added the king, "Iwant
you TO make me copy Of that very
portrait.
The great difficulty was to know
where 10 find II, but in weeks time
the king thought he had his information.
"Mr. Healy, he exclaimed, I'VE are
dished The portrait is in Russia, and
under present circumstances / can ask
nothing Of the Russian government.
What are we to do? | must have my
Washington Ihave set my heart on it,
Mr.. Healy proposed copying the full
length portrait hanging III Faneuil hall,
in Boston.
"No, nor said the king. THAT is in
his military uniform, and | want him
a. president Of the United States, in his
black velvet suit. viii you start for
America and do your besti | leave the
whole affair in your hands. You might
copy the portrait which Mrs. Madison
cut from its frame in 1914, when the
English burned the city Of Washington.
So the artist set sail for America,
and, once there, the president, John
Tyler, allowed him TO paint III the room
where this portrait, rather feeble imi-
tation Of Stuart, had been hung. Later.
when he passed through London, he
learned by chance that the portrait
which Louis Philippe had believed to
be in Russia was really in London it
self. and that he might be allowed to
finish his copy from it.-YOuth's Com.
