CINCINNATI, o.. Jan. 1S.-The federated
orders of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton Railway system are holding their an
nual convention here. They consist of con-
ductors, engineers firemen, telegraphers
and trainmen. The members of the execu-
tive boards of the system gave tonight a
positive denial that any of the order have
or have had any grievance against their
employers, and that all statements to the
contrary are untrue. This denial was
brought out by a dispatch from Lima, o. .
which said: The trainmen of the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton q Dayton Railroad have had
a grievance since 1896, when a reduction
was made in their wages by allowing them
Only haf-tme for light trains and cutting
their overtime 1t is said that secret meet
irgs have been held TO take some action in
the matter The officials Of the road in this
city do not anticipate any trouble any say
there is no possibility of a strike. Still it
is admitted that there is some discussion
as TO the redress of grievances, in which
representatives of the railway brother
hoods are taking part.

NEW ENGLAND's STRIKE.
Employees and Operatives May Come
to an Understanding.

BOSTON, jan 1S.--Grim determination on
the part of both sides. coupled with a de-
fined issue between employer and employee
as we'll as practically an absence of any
sign of demonstration, were the features
of the second day in the great strike in
the cotton industry. AS on yesterday, inter
est centered almost entirely in the strike
at New Bedford, where the disturbances
OF yesterday led to the belief that a sim
liar demonstration might be attempted to-
day. Nothing of the kind occurred and the
strikers strengthened their cause by MAX
ing the question of fines a definite issue
with the mill owners. 1t is just possible that
an agreement on this question may
lead TO some satisfactory ending
of the whole matter in that city
although at present such an outcome seems
distant. The matter OF financial support to
the strikers was generally discussed, not
only in New Bedford, but in Biddeford,
Saco and Lewiston, Me-, and, while the
union strikers seem to have no anxiety re-
garding the next three months, the nom
union men who are cut fear that they may
not receive sufficient support
In Fall River the superintendent Of the
King Philip mill, where there is a strike,
went so far as agreeing to remedy union
grievances, but other than this there APP
pears no breach in the line of the manu-
facturers during the day. The hundred
thousand operatives in all six of the new
England States are watching the contest
in New Bedford, Saco and Biddeford very
closely.

But Another Gold Bug Succeeds the
Former.

There was conference of the Board of
Works and Mayor Taggart yesterday to
make some disposition of the designations
of Bart" Parker clerk of the board, since
the charter became law, and of William
A. Hughes, chief of the Bureau of Assess
ments. In the afternoon NJ A. Downing,
president of the board, said that it had been
decided both should retire March /. Since
Mayor Taggart's election last fall there
has been demand by the silver men for
the removal Of both, who were regarded as
gold bugs. Charles H. Spencer. formerly
the mayors private secretary, and after
ward secretary of the Board of Park Com
missioners. will succeed Mr.. Parker Some
of the silver men were grumbling because.
Spencer had been appointed, saying that
he was himself as much of a gold bug
as Parker. Who is to succeed Hughes has
not been announced.

NO LONGER A WIZARD"
BILLIARDISIs SCHAEFER SEEMS TO
HAVE LOST HIS CUNNING.
Easily Defeated Last Night by the In
Ives to Cross Cues Tonight.

CHICAGO Jan. 1S.-Spnks defeated
Schaefer tonight in the second game of the
18-inch balk line tournament. The score
was $50 to 139. The wizard" had evidently
mislaid his magic wand, for he was utterly
unable to control the balls, missing shots
that would have been easy for amateur,
overdrawing in the most fragrant manner,
and in three instances failing to get the
balls out of balk. 1t was a rare bit of luck
for Spinks to catch Jake so badly out of
form and gives him a good look-in for a
comfortable share of the purse. From the
start he plodded along, making no snowy
display of fancy shots, but managing to add
to his score in nearly every inning. He was
never headed, and as Schaefer continued
to fall down on easy shots, the Californian
gained courage and went after everything
in sight 1t was a disastrous opening for
Schaefer, and his friends would have lost
lot of money if any one had been willing
to take the odds of to offered on the
Tomorrow night Ives and Sutton meet,
