STREET RAILWAYS ~ ENGLAND.

How Birmingham Looks Closely Aft.e the
Interests Of Her Citizens
George Francis Trains famous at.
tsmpts TO Introduce tramwsys In the
British towns In 1850 did not neglect
Birmingham, says DIR. Albert Shaw in
his Municipal Government In Great
'ritain. Mr. Train was granted an ex-
erimental concession, which he failed
utilize, aud in ! gGl the corporation
itsolf obtained parliamentary authority
to build trainways. But nothing was
done until nftor the general tramways
act Of 1870 was passed.
At length, in 1873. the council laid
tho first limo at cost Of &75, 900 and
cGsed IL for seven years TO an operating
company. From time to time other lines
iayo boon built aud leased. but the cor
pJTation's limits included only 8, 400
acres until Nov 8, 1891, when thoy
were increased to l2, 3G5 acres by tho
annexation Of suburbs then containing
some 90 900 people Thus when the
corporations street railway system was
under construction the average distance
from tho center 10 the circumfer
eDce of birmingham was only two miles,
aud 22 miles of tram lines arc tho total
extent Of the municipal ownership. Out.

by q still greater mileage, In the future
undoubtedly these extensions will be no.

Ralph McVoy pleaded guilty to break
ing into a postofiice at East Point,
Tioga county. He was indicted along

relating to town government had been
discussed and that 1t had been decided
to hold a town meeting to consider
the advisability of forming the organi-
zation. Letters and expressions of sym
pathy with the movement were read
from w. w. Lathrope, l.. j. Snyder,

Expressions of opinion were invited

The laws were good, unquestionably,
but they required enforcing. Since the

WORAMEN INJURED.
Took Rapid Ride on the Elevator Of the
New .Jcrmyn Building.

Six workmen fell with the elevator
from the third to the ground floor of the
new Hotel Jermyn building soon after
IL o'clock yesterday morning. Several
were slightly injured. Good luck prob
ably prevented a fatal outcome Of the
accident
The men We're at work on the third
floor and at lunch time stepped upon
the elevator Before they could signal
the engineer the carriage began to
drop beneath their weight and by the
time the second floor was reached the
velocity was frightful and as rapid as
though the cable had broken. The
elevator struck the ground floor with a
force that threw the occupants in all
directions.
Martin Mendrick was most seriously
hurt. His right leg was painfully in
jured and he suffered from shock
Michael Tennelli's kneecap was bruised
and Michael Flynn was badly hurt on
the back. The others, William Hoyt,
Thomas Harmon and Thomas Camp
bell, suffered many bruises which are
not serious.
Engineer Gus Keller refused to dis
cuss the accident, although to him the
blame is attached by the foreman and
superintendent. Keller was oiling the
elevator machinery and had left the
lever open. The distance OF the fall
was forty-fiye feet

Matter Considered.
no CONCLUSION ARRIVED AT
The Report of the ArbitratorS Is Said to
Favor the Striking orr of the Boy.
cott-It Was Not Adopted
Last Night.

An important meeting of persons con-
nected with labor movements was held
at the Ancient Order United Workmen
hall on Lackawanna last evening, to
hear the reports of John r. Troch and
Cornelius Swartz, who have been acting
as arbitrators in dispute between the
United Garments Makers of America,
and Messrs. Hackett Carhart and COM
pany, of New York, and other parties
who have become involved in the ques-
ton.
During the panic of 1893 the firm of
Hackett, Carhart and company, who
are manufacturers of ready made cloth
ing, gave notice of a reduction in the
wages Of their employees, and In this
they We're supported by other large
manufacturers. The United Garment
makers resisted the reduction, and the
American Federation of Labor placed
boycott, 1t is alleged, upon the goods
of the firm, and also of retail clothers
who purchased from the firm. Local
firms We're affected and the matter has
been under discussion by the Knights
OF Labor and other labor societies Of
this city upon many occasions.
Messrs. Swartz and Troch were elect
ed as representatives of the labor So
cieties to attend at New York with a
view of making a settlement of the dis
pute. While making Investigations in
the matter they were requested to be-
come arbtrators, and during the past
three weeks have been sitting evidence
with a view to reporting as TO the fair
ness of the boycott.
Last evening they attended crowded
meeting of the local societies held at
the Ancient Order United Workmen hall,
and read lengthy report, in which 1t is
claimed, that they recommended the
raising of the boycott.
They We're interviewed by a Tribune
reporter when they left the hall at 1880
o'clock, but declined to divulge the con-
tents of their report, or as to what had
transpired at the meeting. The report
er called at the room at IL o'clock,
where the meeting was still in progress
and was informed that no decision
would be arrived at until further in
formation had been received from New
York. The meeting was secret and
continued until midnight.
