rennSSIyaoin Freight Handlers Re-
- turn to Their Jobs.

New York. July 26.-The threatened
strife Of. the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
Dany's $50 freight handlers in Jersey City
was averted this afternoon mainly through
the efforts of Rev. Father Daniel ].
Brady, assistant rector of St Iary's
Church. The priest was aided by a num-
her Of conservative men among the en-
ployes. The freight handlers quit work
at u O'Clock and it was the understanding
they would not return to work unless their
demand for an increase of wages was COM
piled with. The priest appeared and
pleaded with the men not to strike. point
ing out the evil of strikes and adding:
Remember your loved ones at home.
dear men. Remember your wives and
children, and do not leave them without
their daily bread while you vainly attempt
to right a wrong by means of strike.
Remember strikes breed poverty. misery,
sorrow. and in the end few Of them are
ever successful
Although the company refused to grant
the increase the men returned to work,
after cheering for Father Brady.

KENTUCKY POLITICAL MIx-UP.
Speculation as to the Effect of
Browns Cnndidncy.

Browns Cnndidacy.
Louisville July 26.-Te,egrams OF con
graduation and promises of support have
been pouring in on former Gov. John
Young Brown today from all over the
State. The anti-Goebel afternoon papers
print columns of special dispatches from
all the principal cities, announcing the Ju-
bilation over Browns stand and inter-
views with leading politicians on both
sides, referring to Browns candidacy in
very complimentary terms. A canvass o.
prominent Goebel men shows a vote Of al
least 10000 conceded TO the bo,ters. This
vote in itself would in all probability b.
enough TO defeat Goebel with a fair elec-
tion. and it is so admitted by many ardent
Goebel men. Said one of the most prom

BICYCLE TRUST TALK.
Speculation ns TO the Presidency of
the New Combine.

New York, July 25.-The circumstances
OF the bankers and the cycle manufactur-
ers having separated and gone to their
homes does not mean that recess is being
taken in the work of perfectlng cycle trust
details. = president and other officers are
to be elected next week. Since the general
assembly Of manufacturers adjourned at
the Waldorf Astoria a week ago this eiec-
tion of officers had been the uppermost
theme The stockholders in the newly or
ganized trust went away to think the mat
ter over. While it would be natural for all
the makers to agree on A. G. Spalding,
who originally undertook 10 launch a cycle
trust. as the fitting man for president, It
is not certain that he would accept the
hoEcr ard obligation because OF the exac-
tiors Of his other affairs. A man i1entifel
with one of the biggest makers said today:
Il think that Spalding will not accept
the presidency il offered to him. The tip
that George II. Day. who has resigned from
his official connection with the Pope Man
ufacturing Company, may be the man, was
q good oLe. / cannot think of any more
likely man. At the same time the Day
idea must not be counted on as a sure
thing. The honors belong to Spalding, and
if he should conclude to accept them he
is quite likely to be the man
There will be several immediate results
from the combination affecting the sport
and the trade and the commercial ends of
cycling There viii be no racing teams
supported by the makers in the trust. The
advertising will be consolidated and di-
rected more toward daily publications and
away from the periodicals. The makers in
the trust will not compete between them
selves. of course, but they will make a
sharp competition in prices, in advertis-
ing. and in variety of production with
those Who have remained outside, so that
there are apt to be some lively passages
Tor a wear or SO in the trade.

1t is understood that even more
thrilling incident than this was ex-
pected by the counsel OF Dreyfus. ana
would have occurred but for General
Merciers prudence. Dreyfus intended
and had actually declared his determi-
nation to slap Merclers face before the
whole court. if he brought up the story
of the relations of Dreyfus with Nine
b.. who. some newspapers have as
serted. acted as Il go-between for Drey-
fus and the attache to whom he is al
legged TO have made reasonable reveiu-
lions. Mercier ubstained from all ref
erence TO the story, but despite this,
the people in the court thought for
moment that Dreyfus was about to
strike MERCER. until captain of gem
darmes took him gently by the arm
and pushed him back into his seat.
