Ever since the consolidation of the

cal street railways was effected some
time ago, there has been considerable
conjecture on the part of those directly
or indirectly interested, as to the steps
which would be taken to bring about
uniformity in the rates of wages paid
on the two lines.
The operators and conductors on the
B. B. & NJ. F. road have been receiving
IA cents an hour, while the men on this

Capt. p. #. Gleason Retired From
Presidency After 16 Years.


Presidency After 16 Years.
The annual meeting of the Catholic Ii
brary Association was held last night.
There was a good attendance of members
10 hear the annual reports of the officers
and to elect officers for the ensuing year.
The reports showed the association to be
in an excellent condition. The member
ship has increased, Notwithstanding the
year has been one of many vicisstudes,
and the report of the treasurer showed
a healthy financial condition. The asso-
citation has purchased the hall property
and the adjoining buildings from the Cath
Ollie Library Eal Association, an orgaui-
cation which was formed sixteen years
ago, for the purpose of furnishing the as
sociation with home Many books have
been added to the library and other i'm
provements have been made during the
year.
Capt. P. f. Gleason, who has served con-
tnuously as president for sixteen years,
concluded his report with the statement
that he would decline a reelection. lie
thanked the members heartily for the
honor which had been his for so many
years, and said he had contemplated re-
firing for several years. There were cir
cumstances connected with the work of the
association and things to be accomplished
however, which made him reluctant to let
go until they were in shape. Now
that such was the case he felt that he
should give away 10 some other.
The defamation of Capt Gleason was a
general surprise to the members, and IL
was received with genuine regret, Had 1t
not been given with such positiveness he
would have been reelected against his
wishes. Capt. Gleason is universally held
in the highest esteem by the members Of
the C. L. A. The work he has done is of
almost incalculable value, and no form of
appreciation which the members could
show would be too great He has labored
for the association with that tireless ener-
gy which characteriZes everything he does,
al all times and in every way has he been
attentive and alive to the interests of the
association. die has contributed as has no
other member of the organiZat ton to its
wonderful SUCCESS, ana it must be a pleas
ant satisfaction for him to retire with
the knowledge that IT. is probably stronger
than any similar organization in the South.
On motion a resolution was passed au-
thoriz.ng the appointment of committee
to draft suitable resolutions showing the
appreciation of the association for the
work Capt. Gleason has done. and the re-
gret felt at his retirement.
The following officers were elected for
the coming year:
President-J. j. Higgins.
Vice President--J. j. Powers.
Recording Secretary-W. ]. Qulnan.
Financial Secretary-John Sullivan, Jr.
Treasurer-Joseph e. Harry.
Mr.. Higgins, the newly elected presi-
dent has been vice president for two years
and has always been a prominent and
valuable member. He is young man of
excellent worth and judgment is popular
with The members, and is a worthy sue
cessor to Capt, Gleason.

ANOTHER SALESMAN ARRESTED.
John II. Burch Charged with EN-
bezzIing From smith Bros.


John H. Burch city salesman for Smith
Bros, wholesale grocery merchants, on the
Bay. was arrested and committed 10 jail
yesterday on a warrant issued by Justice
Nj. Naughtin, charging embezzlement. The
warrant was sworn out by Mr.. A. E.
Smith.
Burch was under surveillance by the po-
ice Monday. and was kept at the station
house all Of that night in the hope that
a settlement would be made by his friends
and the shortage IN his accounts arranged
He was removed from the station house
Yesterday on Justice Naughtin's warrant
and carried to the magistrates office. He
was given until late in the afternoon to ar
range the matter, when again failing to
give bond he was committed 10 jail.
Burch is a young man of %, aud has
been IN the employ of Smith Bros for
about twelve years beginning his connec-
ton with them as office boy in the store.
He has borne hitherto an enviabie repn-
tation for straightforwarlness and BUSH
ness ability and has impressed all the
members of the firm with the belief that
he was valuable employe and a man
worthy OF every trust. Indeed, he had
been trusted and been rapidly advanced
from one position to another, becoming
finally one OF the city statesmen.
His defalcations do not extend over
very long period, as it has been only about
a month that they first began. Neither
do they reach very large amount, as
something between $50 and $500 will cover
all of the shortage. Mr.. A. f. Smith OK
pressed to q Morning News representa- tive
yesterday the hope that the matter could
be arranged and the shortage made good
He said chat Burch's long service in the
employ of the firm and his previous good
record disposed him to be lenent and that
he and his partners were quite willing to
accept any reasonable offer of settlement
even though ii involved some loss to them
selves.
II was thought for a time that the set
Element could and would be made easily
but the passage Of the day without the
accomplishment of this end and the fact
that the prisoner could not give bond and
has been committed to jeH, rather damp
ened the ardor of his friends. II may be,
however, that some solution of the ques-
ton that will permit of Burch's discharge
and at the same time reimburse Smith
Bros. for a part, at least, of their loss,
will be suggested and put into practice.
Burch is married man, and this adds
to the regret that is generally felt on ac-
count of his errors.
