TRADES ASSEMBLY VIEWS.
An Official Remark Upon the Settle
ment.

An Official Remark Upon the Settle
ment.
A high official of the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly was seen
after the agreement was reached last
evening. and upon being asked for an
opinion, replied:
1T is scarcely necessary for me to
announce, that if the settlement is sat
isfactory to the members of Local No.
103, it is eminently satisfactory to my
self and the Assembly. As you know,
the o. V. T. & l.. A has only acted
in conjunction with the striking en-
ployes, permitting the latter to take
the initiative in every instance. The
efforts of the Assembly have always
been secondary to that of the strikers.
Briefly, we have simply endorsed and
aided them in carrying out their own
plans. The assertion that the Assem-
bly, dictated terms and gave radical adj
vice is utterly baseless. As the matter
is now settled. / believe | speak for
the entire membership of our organiza-
ton when | congratulate all concerned
upon the reign of reason and the mu-
tuaI spirit of conciliation shown in the
final proceedings.

APPLICATION aETuRNED.
Charter Will Not RE Issued to the b., II. g.
NJ r. EMPLOYEES,

Wednesday President Tighe, OF the
o. V. I. & l.. A, received a letter from
President Mahon, of the national organ-
ization Of street car employees, stating
that the application for a charter and
the accompanying fee had been returned
to I. l.. Lewis, of Bridgeport, who was
chairman of the committee which or
ganized the employees on the b., B. &
NJ. f. line. The reason for withhold
ing the charter seems to be based upon
the representation of Wheeling labor
leaders, that the organization was irreg-
ular and was prompted by a motive
foreign to true union sentiment.

was attested by the fact that he was
cheered and Aapplauded by the big
crowd in front of the Register Office,
at a quarter after four o'clock, when he
made his appearance on his way up
Market street. He was a potential fig
ure in the settlement, and the fact has
universal recognition.
Director B. w. Peterson was seen by
a Register reporter at the Fort Henry
Club, Immediately after the settlement.
He only had a moment to spare, but
greeted the reporter with smiles, and
expressed his satisfaction at the con
clusion reached, which, he said, was
satisfactory to all concerned. Upon the
question of the retention of the new
men he said.
I'VE were bound by every considera-
ton of business. honor and in law to
make provision for the new employees,
and it has been done. New and old
men will go to work together, and the
settlement is satisfactory to both sides.
A detailed Statement of the terms of
settlementwill be presented as soon as
it can be prepared. You may say that
all the old men are taken back abso-
lutely without prejudice, and we will all
now/go in together to make up what
has been lost. The settlement meets
with the greatest favor all around"
Mr.. Peterson gave deserved praise to
Col. O'Brien, Mayor Sweeney and the
other gentlemen taking part in the
conference, by no means forgetting
the representatives of the strikers.
Directors Stone and Stifel, Mayor
Sweeney, Mr.. F. G. Caldwell, and 9TH
ers present were also seen, and all ex-
pressed their happiness at the settle
ment. Mayor Sweeney bore off one Of the
pens with which the settlement was
signed, and said it would be displayed
with an appropriate inscription at the
City Hall. Col. Thomas O'Brien has
the other pen.

were taken up and there was the same
fair. free and frank interchange OF
views as upon the previous day. The
disposition upon all sides to come to
an agreement was marked from the out
set, and almost from the start it was
apparent that before the afternoon was
over there would be a settlement. This
was practically agreed upon shortly
before four O'Clock. and as soon as it
was certain the Register received the
announcement, followed quickly by a
confederation and some further details.
The gentlemen left the rooms of the
Chamber about four O'Clock, and found
the news had preceded them to a very
considerable extent, and there were
many congratulations to the conferees
generally and individually, as well as
Fluctuations upon such a happy ending
to a long controversy. As the parties
to the conference, strikers, citizens and
directors alike, proceeded along the
streets, they were fairly besieged for de-
tails, and for a considerable time their
progress was very slow. A number of
the gentlemen repaired to a convenient
office, where typewriter copies of the
agreement were made in duplicate, and
these were given to the representatives
of the Company and the strikers as
oon as completed. Both sides at once
placed the documents at the disposal
of the newspapers, and other copies
were rapidly made and verified, the
Register meanwhile having bulletined
an outline of the basis of settlement.
Immediately after the adjournment
it were seen by reporters for the Reg
lister, and a summary of their various
expressions is herewith presented.
There was entire unanimity in the
agreement that the compromise was a
fair one. and the men were not less
pleased than the Company's directors.
The general public, however, was prob
ably more pleased than the immediate
parties to the dispute, as a great re-
striction to trade and travel has been
lifted, and to-day the city will assume
its usual aspect in all particulars. The
settlement is particularly opportune in
that it comes right in the middle of the
Street Fair and while a series of ball
games is on, and will be a correspond
ing convenience.
Under the old wage scale the men
made $1.92 per day of twelve hours.
Under the new scale they will make
$1.9S in eleven hours. or an increase
of six cents per day for one hours less
| work, which is a material advantage.
The public will secure the advantage
of longer service by the cars, more men
will be employed, at least temporarily,
and the general result will be good.
That the cars will be very largely pat
ronized to-day is a f%oregone conclu-
sion.

1t is rumored that a P%ittsburg syn
dictate of coal operators is after the
Heatherington mines at BellaIre and
that negotiations are now in progress.
The idea seems to be TO secure a mo-
nopoly OF all the river mines along the
upper Ohio, with a view TO controlling
shipments by water to a greater or less
extent. The Heatherington works are
famous as a coaling STAT for steam
boats and their location adds much to
their value for this purpose. The
mines have always been considered
among the best paying properties of the
sort along the upper Ohio and IL they
are secured by the Pittsburgers it will
be at a good round figure.

alike working.
The basis of settlement was reached
at the hour named, and in two minutes
the news was in the Register office.
This paper was the first in the city to
have the information, and the fact of
an agreement having been reached was
bulletined at 4:04 p. M, followed by a
second bulletin at 4:OS. Five minutes
later a third bulletin, containing the
terms of settlement was posted, and
the series of three attracted a great
crowd of people. The promptness with
which the information was thus made
public attracted deserved attention, as
two bulletins were out before the con
ferees had left the Chamber of Com
merce rooms, and the word had also
been sent to the Street Fair, to Ben
wood, and to a number of localities
about the city. The news spread like
wild-fre, and the Register was fairly
besieged by telephone enquiries up to
six o'clock, all wishing to know of the
good news was really true.
The parties in interest to both sides
of the long controversy, as well as
Mayor Sweeney, Col. O'Brien, F. G.
Caldwell, and other citizens taking part
in the joint debate, all evidenced the
greatest satisfaction, and agreed that
the terms were mutually fair. On the
part of the people there was universal
congratulations.
The terms of settlement, briefly stat
ed are: eleven hours per day, eighteen
cents an hour, the new men to be re-
tanned and all old men to return to
work., the service to be so enlarged as
to permit of the employment of all.
The details will be found below.

A Story of Madame Patti.

A striking story comes to US anent
Madame Patti, the renowned prima
donna, which is characteristic of her
geniality and kindness Of heart. The
Incompatible singer was walking out
one day In the neighborhood Of her
castle In Wales, when a sudden thirst
afflicted her. and she called at a cot
tage to get glass of new milk. When
she had partaken of this wholesome
refreshment she opened her purse to
pay the cost. But the peasant woman
raised her hand In gentle remonstrance,
and said:
"There is nothing to pay for the
milk, but will madame kindly sing to
us one of her sweet songsT
Patti entered the humble home, lifted
her magnificent voice, and sang, in her
most superb style, "Home, Sweet
Homer
The astonished and delighted cottag-
ers listened In raptures, and rendered
the distinguished visitor their warmest
thanks. Then, from an inner apart
ment, came a feeble voice, pleading
please sing that again; 1t was heav-
enly."
THAT is my daughter, who is dying
of consumption" explained the cot
tager, adding. "She is so fond of sing
ing"
Patti visited the sick girl, sang the
song again to her. and gave her sym
pathetic word also. Then she left.
The milk had been paid for by melody
for which manyaan eager agent would
have forfeited thousand pounds.
