HARAN FENDER TESTED.
1t Was the Subject OF Very Favorable
Comment and Pronounced Succcss

Laurel Hill park car was yesterday
equipped with fender patented by
Patrick Haran, of Green Ridge, the
well-known foreman in the machine
shops of the Delaware and Hudson
roundhouse. Master Mechanic Frank
Wampler ran the car out on the first
trip; on the car were officials of the
Traction company. and they all ex-
pressed themselves as highly satified
with the new design.
Two arms shoot out from the trucks
of the car, and to these are attached
the supports that hold the fender in
place. The rocking of the car does
not make any oscillation. on account of
the fender being built onto the trucks,
and therefore 1t can be run so close to
the street that 1t is almost impossible
for any object to get under the fender.
One part will have to be remedied, that
Is the hollow roller that Is placed at the
front guard.
1t will need to be made OF sheet iron
to prevent 1t from being dlnged when
1t strikes small distractions on the
tracks. Otherwise the fender is an i'm
provement upon those now used on the
cars, and 1t promises to replace them.

After finishing reading he asked the
different men present whether they were
willing to work for the company and had
no grievances and that all such should
step to one side, and all those who were
dissatisfied should step to the other side,
and out of fully 60 present only l6 claimed
to have a grievance, among when were
a number not empl0yes of that company,
but who seemed to constitute the agitat
ing element. The men generally eX-
pressed themselves as satisfied with the
wages and treatment given them by the
company. The l6 disaffected men then
held a consultation and concluded to take
out their cars, so that now all cars are
running on schedule. The company
claims to state their position fully and
fairly through Mr.. Willis and say that
they are determined not to recede from
the position taken, That they are paying
their men the wages agreed upon and are
treating them fairly in every way; that
as they are not yet ready to turn the
property over to their employees, they
propose to manage it as has heretofore
been done, with due regard to the rights
of the public, their employees and the
stockholders. 1t is hoped that the men
will recognize the rights of the public and
the company, as in case of a strike the
present employees would lose their posi-
tions and the public be made the indirect

rs SPAIN RESPONSIBLE


WASHINGTON, Sept. "a, 1S95.-Super-
vising Inspector of Steam Vessels Du-
mont has made a report on the investi-
cation of the circumstances attending
the loss of the steam City of Haverhil
with all on board. off Barnegat Light,
fifty miles south Of New York, on the
night of March % last.
The chief feature of interest connected
with the investigation was the theory
advanced by Mrs. Watrous, widow OF
the captain of the vessel, who resided
in this city, that the ship was suspected
of being intended for the use of Cuban
flibusters n had been destroyed by
agents of the Spanish Government.
In the event of this surmise being sub
stantiated a claim for damages and other
International complications might have
arisen, as the vessel was flying the
American flag.
The investigation did not take this
theory into consideration, as it was re-
garded as too quixotical, but simply com
prises the testimony of the captains of
a tug and two canal barges, the tug also
having in tow the City of Haverhill.
Early in the night, they allege, the
Haverhill cast off her line, which was
considered an unusual circumstance and
early the following morning the wreck
age was found floating on the water.
The cause of the disaster will probably
never be a~Scertained.
