WANT MORE PAY.
Street Railway Men in Several
Cities Threate to
Strike.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 2S.-The street
railway employees of this city and other
cities are preparing to make demand
for ten-hour day at 20 cents an hour,
and in the event of the refusal of the
employers to grant the concessions asked,
it is said a general strike will occur.
This decision was reached at meeting
of the executive committee of Amalgam-
ated Association Of Street Railway En-
poyes of America, held recently at the
headquarters of the organization in De
troit Every member of the committee,
including President Mahon, was present
at the meeting, and the subject was thor
oughly discussed. Mr.. Mahon stated
his position as being in favor of making
the demand at once and added that if
necessary he would recommend that
means be taken to back up the request
with the full strength Of the organiza-
ton.
At the conclusion of the meeting the
executive committee voted unanimously
to adopt the presidents proposition. The
cities named are New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston, Detroit, Worcester
and Milwaukee.

CROWDS AROUND A JAIL.
Authorities Do Not Dare to Trans
Ter jackson and Walling to
Kentucky.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 27.-In anticipa-
ton of the arraignment today of Scott
Jackson and Alonzo Walling for the muir
der of Pearl Bryan, large crowds gath
cred about the city hall and the jail ear
ly this morning. While the authorities
considered these assemblages due to SEN
sational curiosity rather than to any
conspiracy for lynching yet they took the
precaution to evade both crowds.
1t was accordingly decided to get the
prisoners clandestinely into the common
pleas court before Judge Bookwalter at
8 O'Clock and complete the legal arrange
ments for the transfer of the prisoners
to Sheriff Plummer Of Newport, Ky.
1t was evident, however, with the crowds
hanging around that the prisoners could
not be quietly transferred across the riv-
er today and all plans were abandoned.
At II a. m. it was announced that ar
raignment and hearing on the requlsltlon
papers had been continued to date that
the court would not divulge now nor
hereafter to anyone Counsel for both
sides as we'll as the court and the officers
are anxious to avoid the crowds.
1t is believed that they have agreed to
have the case taken up at any time when
there is no crowd or prospect OF disturb
ance There were people also around
both the Newport and Covington Jails
waiting to see the prisoners, who have
become notorious on account of the pc
culiarly brutal character of the murder
charged against them.
The head of woman was found III g
dump on Walnut Hills at B p. M. today
1t was carefully examined and the skull
and teeth were reported to lear a re
semblance to the head of Pearl Bryan
The most reliable information tonight
is that the head is not that Of the victim

MOTOR CAR RUNS AWAY.
Brakes Play Out on a Steep Grade

Cleveland, O., Feb. 26.-While heavy

foot Of Scranton avenue this morning the
brake failed and the motorman lost con-
troll of the car. 1t at once plunged for

motor car crashed into heavily-loaded

hundred feet away. William Marx,
driver of the truck, was hurled thirty
feet while the driver of the coal wagon
was pitched headlong on the side of the
street, lighting in snow bank which
saved him from serious injuries. Marx
received many wounds and is probably
internally injured and may die.
The front of the car was smashed.
Motorman Hart did not desert his post,
but was bruised about the head and

EYICTED TENANTS BILL.
House Of Commons Ref IS to Have
the Relief Bill Read a Sec
Ond Tine.

London. Feb 26.-J. J. Clancy, Par
nellite member for the North division
of Dublin county, moved the second
reading Of the evicted tenants bill in
the House Of Commons today. This
measure is of voluntary nature. not
compulsory. and provides that n board
of Cancellation consisting of three MEM
bers be appointed by Parliament and
empowered to confirm existing agree
nentS or to reinState tenants by pur-
chase or as tenants under judicial rent
The number of evicted persons is few
and the matter, it is claimed, could soon
be settled.
John Morley 0iberaD said he could
not understand how the bill could be
resisted and suggested that the Irish
church surplus fund be devoted to it.
Continuing, Mr.. Morley said that the
Duke of Devonshire and other Unionists
opposed his bill because it was COM
pulsory, but declared that they would
support a voluntary bill. Therefore
they had changed its provisions and now
he would be disappointed if the Con-
sentative leader CA. J. Balfour, first lord
of the treasury did not assent to its sec
ond reading.
A. J. Balfour said he thought the bilf
would strengthen the hands of members
in asserting that under the same cir
cumstances the tenants could resort to
the same plan of campaign.
Mr. Clancy's motion that the evicted
tenants bill be read for the second time,
was then put to vote and rejected-271

1853, after graduating at Brown uni
versity. Providence, r. l., he entered
the employ of Page Richardson & Co.
of Boston, which firm was extensively
engaged in foreign shipping. There ne
remained for three years, visiting Eu-
1860. Later he started in a similar
business for himself in New York city,
following it successfully for nine years.
From 1865 to 1871, in addition to his
large personal business enterprises, Mr..
Colby, with his brother, Joseph L. Col
by, had charge of the large government
bonded warehouse, where importationss
of foreign goods entering the port OF
New York were held in bond.
It was in 1870 that Mr.. Colby became
interested in the building of the Wiscon-
sin Central, and in 1873 he was elected
vice-president of the corporation. AS
one Of the heaviest stockholders he trans
ferred his business energies to the deVel-
oDment of that enterprise, removing TO
Milwaukee in 1874. where he continued
to reside until three years ago. In
1879 he was elected president of the
Central company, succeeding his Ia
ther. Gardner Colby, upon the death
of the latter. 1t was to the busl-
ness energy, sagacity and devotion to
every interest that the success OF the
Wisconsin Central was largely due, and
it was through is eHorlS anu ldllH II !!
Wisconsin that a railroad was pushed
through the great forests of Northern
Wisconsin, opening up one of the most
extensive lumber and mining sections in
the Northwest. .
In addition to his extensive railway
and mining interests, Mr.. Colby was
largely interested in private matters and
was regarded as man of considerable
wealth. He was a gifted speaker and
had the happy faculty Of presenting a
scheme in a manner which carried con-
viction with his every assertion and
claim, but he never took advantage of
this magnetic power to hoist upon the
people schemes that were liable to turn
out gigantic failures and money losers.
