PAIN AND TRAM DRIVERS
MANAGER DISLIKE PETITIONS
FROM EMPLOYEES.
Discharges Men Who Signed a Modest
Petition for Slight Advance in
Wagcs-Fifteen Cents an Hour.

A smouldering trouble between
drivers of the Hawaiian Tramways
Company and Manager Pain, of the
concern, eliminated yesterday in the
discharge of seven of the men.
The men asked for more wage. There
are employed by the company eight
drivers who receive twenty cents an
hour and nine who receive fifteen
cents an hour for time actually on
duty. 1t is said to have been the prac-
tice, on rush occasions, to select the
low salaried men for the overtime
work. They have not infrequently
been compelled to work fifteen to
eighteen hours, large part of which
was at night, at the fifteen cent rate.
Seven of the low rate men asked
Mr.. Pain to increase their wages to
correspond to that of the higher rate
men. They contended that they had
the same work to do and should re-
ceive the same pay per hour. This
is the petition of the drivers to Mr..
Pain:
Honolulu, May 4. 1899.
To w. H. Pain, Esq,
Manager of Hawaiian Tramway
Company.
we, the undersigned drivers OF
tram cars, in the employ TO the Hawai-
ian Tramway Company, beg respect
fully to ask that our wages be raised
from fifteen cents (15c.) per hour to
twenty cents (20c.) per hour. Should
our request not be granted we will
have to find other means of labor for
our livelihood.
We respectfully request an answer
by Saturday morning.
Upon receiving the above Mr.. Pain
called the men whose names were
signed to the paper before him and
discharged them. Their places were at
once filed by others at the fifteen
cent rate.
1t will not be admitted in many
quarters that man will get rich very
fast on FIFTEEN cents an hour. Work
ing twelve hours a day, which is con-
sidered a deal overtime, man would
only make $3.50.

\ LEG BROKEN.
Bag of Sugar Falls on Sailor of
Bark Albert.

Charles Swenson, seaman of the
bark Albert, is in the hospital with a
broken leg. The member was injured
this morning by what seems to have
been the carelessness of a native steve
dore.
The Albert is lying bow on to Brew
er's wharf. Natives were putting SUI
gar into her from scow. Swenson
was working in the hold. A bag of
sugar was thrown too high, missed the
shute and struck the sailor on the
right leg, breaking it just below the
knee.
The man was laid out on board
stretcher and the police patrol wagon
summoned. Captain Griffith, of the
Albert, and Deputy Marshal Chilling
worth superintended the removal of
the poor fellow to the hospital. DR..
Cooper set the broken. leg.
Swenson is a Norwegian and is a
new man on the Albert. He is, how
ever, an old sailor. He has wife and
several children.

Dewey Medals Not For Sale.

The value which the jackies who fought
under Dewey in Manila bay place upon the
medals which the government distributed
to them in recognition Of their heroism on
that occasion is shown by an incident which
occurred at Baltimore few days ago. One
OF the sailors on the revenue cutter, Algon-
quin, who had served on the cutter Nc
Culloch in the battle Of Manila Bay, was
wearing one of the memorable buttons
while on shore leave. He was approached
by stranger, who asked what kind of q
medal he was wearing. "That's Dewey
medal" was the proud reply. After ex-
aiming the token with interest the strang-
er said, "Tl give you 500 for it." The
Jack Tar's answer was prompt and forci.
BILE. He shot out blow straight from the
shoulder, catching the stranger squarely in
the face and knocking him across the pave.

heap. Such is the proud and heroic stuff
Of which American sailors are made. Dewey
medals are evidently not for sale at any
price. News.

the best wagon that ever came into

FARMER SMITH-'Yes, I do need

of a fellow who was around the
other day one of those western
wagons. He said he could sell it to
me at about my own price,"
FARMER JoNEs-"Don't you do

A Vermont Institution to be Proud OF.

The Seventy-second annual report OF the
Vermont Mural Fire In.urance company
shows that it paid $19l ,07911 to unfortu-
nate members during the year, being $685.
GAL SO more than in the years 1898, an
increase very largely due to the unuaslly
large amount OF property destroyed by
lightning.
BY the wise policy of its directors, who
Sin time OF peace prepared for wars sur
plus had been created for just such an
emergency, and so, by draft of SIG, 1885
from total surplus of $105, 902 IS, the
assessment rate has been kept at the four
per cent standard, the amount thus
raised covering every loss of the year,
every fire sufferer receiving his money
when due.
The reasonable assurance which this
precedent establishes that the annual as
easements of this Company will not exceed
four per cent the lowest amount consistent
with conservatism and sure protection, is
invaluable to the insured and to those who
would be insured.
The amount of insurance now carried by
this Company is SOL 783, $40, and its pre-
MUM notes in force fer payment of losses
are 81 $50, 1902, showing a gain of about
% per cent during the past five years.
The whole number OF policies in force
is 80 1854, OF which 11,479 were issued
during the past year, showing that the
Company's honorable dealings, low rates
and prompt adjustment of losses are being
more and more appreciated by Vermont
ers in want OF fire insurance protection

Instead Of securing and rubbing each
piece of silver separately, the whole ser
vice can be cleaned in few minutes as
effectively. After each meal the silver
should be put in pan (kept especially
for the purpose), and covered with luke
warm water, to which teaspoonful of
Gold Dust Washing Powder is added; set
the pan on the range until the water gets
to boiling point, then lift out each piece
with wire spoon and lay on a soft linen
cloth, wiping them quickly with chamois
skin. The pieces so cleaned will be high

They Cannot Comprehend the Rapid Way in
Which We Do Business.

London. March 27.-The order for %
locomotives given by the Great Northern
Railroad Co. to the Baldwin Co. of Phila-
delphia, is causing much comment in en-
sineer and official circles here. The con-
tract stipulates the delivery of the loco
motives in four months. and ii seems that
the British manufacturers needed IS
months to do the work. II. J. Watts,
chief locomotive superintendent of the
Great Northern Railway who is now in
the United States with other English rail-
road men studying the American auto
matte coupling system, writes that he is
surprised at the great capacity of the
American locomotive works
1t is understood that further orders
from the Indian and Australian govern
ments have been given to the Baldwin
Co. The same capacity for speedy deliv-
cry secured for Americans the contract
to build the Atbara bridge in the Soudan.
to the intense disappointment of British
firms. none of whom, however. were able
to guarantee the delivery of the necessary
iron work within the prescribed time.
In contrast with the promptitude of the
Americans it may be mentioned that the
Soudan Railroad had to wait fout months
for small bridge weighing 81 tons 1t
will perhaps be found tina, all the first
batch of locomotives for the Soudan will
be of American construction.

morgue have be numbered Bodies No.

containing merely a mixture of char

The third body found today, was
uncovered. late this afternoon, near
the 46th street side. The fragments
consisted of portions of the large
bones, part of the spinal column and
ribs attached to some discolored flesh.
Near the spot were found several
pieces of calico and some cheap green
plush and it is believed that the re-
mains are those of woman and prob
ably domestic employed at the hotel.
Among the things found were some
pieces of metal with the Initials "A
and N. Dec" and a bunch of keys at
tached to a chain.
The mayor of Seabright, n.
j.. today. inquired about Charles
Bosch, barber. who is thought
to have visited the hotel on
the day of the fire and who is now
missing. Simon Leland said that he
remembered seeing man of the bar
ber's description walking through the
corridor about 2 o'clock on the after
noon of the fire. The major said that
Besch had a Masonic badge Of which
he did not knew the description. Part
of Masonic badge has been found in
the ruins.
Another body was taken out of the
fire ruins, this afternoon. 1t consisted
of thigh bone and half a dozen other
unrecogniZable bones. with pieces of
shrivelled and burned flesh hanging to
few of the pieces. These were found
| on the 46th street side Of the ruins. No
clothing. trinkets or other means of

Warren Leland said. today that the
Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Association
at Tarrytown. had offered to bury the
remains of the unidentified dead of the
Windsor fire and that the offer had
been accepted. The funerals will
probably be held. Wednesday. at the
church of the Heavenly Rest in this
city The New York Central will
transport the bodies free of charge to
