Street Railway Employees of Philadelphia
Decide to Tie Up An the
ffnec

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 16-At the
meeting tonight of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Railroad Employees it was de-
cided to declare a strike upon the lines of
the Union Traction Company. Ex-Gov-
ernor Pattison and Thomas Martindale,
representing committee of citizens were
present and urged t1e men to try TO effect
further arbitration of their differences with
the railway company. The efforts of the
two gentlemen were unsuccessful, and the
decision to strike was made.
The decision of the executive committee
is not final, but was submitted later to a
mass-meeting of the association, at which
time for striking was to be fixed.
At the mass-meeting tonight of mem
bers of the Amalgamated Association Of
Street Railway Employees it was decided
to go on strike at o'clock tomorrow,
and no cars will leave the depots manned
by members of the association. Of the
6100 employees $500 of them are members
of the association, but it is believed that
fully 95 per cent of the entire employees of
the company will refuse to man the cars
This strike will tie up every line in the
city excepting the Arch-street line and the
Race and Vice street line, which are not
controlled by the Union Traction Com
pany.
1t was asserted by a man close to the
management that the company was pre-
pared for a strike. Offers of experienced
motormen and conductors from Chicago,
Pittsburg, Brooklyn, Baltimore and other
cities, it was stated, had been received. A
letter from Chicago offered to send on 500
men,

SHOT BY THE JUSTICE,
Statements of an Attorney the
Cause of an En-.
counter.
The Chief of the Supreme Court oi
Tennessee Promptly Resented
an Insult.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Dec. 16.-John
R. BeasIy, local attorney, was shot and
painfully wounded this evening by Chief
Justice D. L. Snodgrass of the State Su-
preme Court, in the law Office of Brown &
Spurlock. In the Times this morning
there appeared a communication from
Beasly relative to the settlement of the
State debt in 1870, and suit brought by
himself in the Supreme Court to test the
validity of that settlement, in which strong
language was used.
Chief Justice Snodgrass had gone to tia
Office of Brown & Spurlock to see about
a correction of some statements and there
met Beasly. He at once took up the SUBJ
ject with him. denouncing it as false.
Beasly, who was sitting on sofa, rose to
his feet and asserted its truthfulness,
whereupon the Chief Justice denounced
him as an infamous liar. Beasly had his
hand behind him. and made a motion as
if to take something from his pocket, at
the same time reiterating the statement
that every word written was true, upon
which the Chief Justice struck him in the
face with his fist, following it with q
couple of shots from pistol.
At the second shot Beasly cried, "Don't
kill me. Judge" and the firing was dis
continued. One shot struck Beasly on the
left elbow, inficting wound that will
probably destroy the usefulness of that
arm. Judge Snodgrass surrendered to the
Sheriff, gave bond for his appearance for
trial when wanted and left tonight for

that the Panama Railroad Company has,
among other things. contended for the
right to virtually control the making Of
through rates between San Francisco and
New York; for regular pro rata of the
through rate as its share, based on the
proportion of the service it rendered, and
for the discontinuance of the Pacific Mail
line between New York and Colon on the
Atlantic side.
On the other hand, in return for the last
named concession, it was to abandon its
steamship line between San Francisco and
Panama on the Pacific side. A further
condition asked by the Panama people
was the right to charter Pacific Mail
steamers on the Pacific side whenever the
proposed relations should cease to exist.
This precautionary move was deemed
necessary to protect the Panama Railroad
in case the Pacific Mail should at any time
suddenly refuse to continue the contract.
By reserving the right to charter Pacific
Mail steamers the through business of the
Panama Railroad and its Atlantic line of
steamers would not be liable to any serious
interruption. should the contemplated
contract be suddenly annulled by the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company.
In view of the determined stand taken
by the Panama people in the last unsuc-
cessful conference, as indicated in Presi-
dent Simmons announcement, it is con-
sidered extremely likely that President
Huntington has, with perhaps some slight
notifications, met all these demands of
the opposition.
If such is the case it will m can that the
Panama Railroad Company's steamers
Progreso, Washtenaw and City of Ever
EFT, now plying between here and Panama,
will be laid up and that the three Pacific
Mail steamers on the New York Colon
route on the Atlantic side will also be
taken off.
The new contract further means, it is
stated, that the Panama Railroad will be-
come a member of the Transcontinental
Association; that rates via Panama will go
up; that shipments by this route will be
diminished; that through overland rates
will advance, ard that there will ensue a
stability of rates that will greatly tend to
generally improve commercial conditions.
In railroad circles it is generally con-
ceded that while the Panama people may
have gained what they consider decided
victory, it is still more substantial one
for c. ?. Huntington, owing to the great
benefit that will accrue to his pet line, the
Southern Pacific Railroad, from settle
ment of the Panama-route question and
the consequent diversion of more or less
freight to the ali-rail routes.

7ARRED AND FEATHERED A THIEF.
coNeqe Students Dealt Summary Punish
ment on a Rich but Pilfenng
ciussmdte.

WILKESBARRE, Pa. Dec. 16.-Charles
Durchek, student at the Wyoming Semi
nary in Kingston, resident of Freeland,
Luzerne County, where his father is a
wealthy brewer, was tarred and feathered
by about thirty stude ents at l o'clock this
morning on the campus. The students
had for the past few weeks missed articles
from their rooms, and, after quietly inves-
tigating the matter, found that Durchek
was guilty.
At / o'clock this morning the door of
Durchek's room was broken open apd he
was gagged, and, in his nightshirt only,
was taken to the campus. There he con-
fessed, was stripped naked and coated
with tar. The feathers were then added
by liberal handfuls after which he was
released. The boys went back to bed and
Durchek spent all night in his room crying.
When he did not come down to breakfast
this morning the faculty learned of the
matter and President Sprague, after hav-
ing the boy cleaned, expelled him.. 1t is
thought he will not do anything to the
boys who were engaged in the affair.

DIVISION OF THE PATRONAGE.
Southern Pacific People Promise Not
to Interfere With the Atlantic
Trade.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 16.-C. P.
Steamship Company. and j. Edward Sim
mons, president of the Panama Railroad
Company, each appended his signature to-
day to the traffic agreement which has
been under discussion by the representa-
tives of the two companies for more than
year. The warfare between the two COM
panies has been unfortunate and unprofit-
able.
The new contract provides for an inter-
change of business by the two companies
without being pooling agreement. A
continuous transportation line is estab-
lished between New York and San Fran
cisco. The steamers in the Atlantic service
will be operated by the Panama Railroad
and the steamers in the Pacific service will
be owned and run by the Pacific Mail Com
pany.
The agreement gives to the last named
com pany the right to monopolize the busi-
ness of transportation between San Fran
cisco and Panama and also the entire
carrying trade between the western coast
of South America and China and Japan
which goes by way of Panama and San
Francisco.
The Panama Company will have the
privileges of the Atlantic coast trade with
out any interference from the Pacific Mail.
In the division of through traffic the
Panama people will get 55 per cent and
the Pacific Mail 45 per cent. The three
steamships owned by the Pacific Mail
Company now in the Atlantic service will
be sent to the Pacific coast as soon as pos
sible. President Huntington remarked to-
day that they were needed there.
