A MARROW ESCAPE.

The Coal City Almost Struck the
Steel Bridge Pier \ esterday, While
Avoiding n Sunken Wreck-River
News.
The Coal City had a very narrow
escape yesterday morning while rass-
ing this port about s o'clock. The
fog was thick, but the boat had not
tied up. The forward guard on the
fleet discovered a sunken barge lying
directly in the channel off the old
water works and gave warning
None of the local rivermen can &C
count for its being there. The fleet
was sheered off towards the Island
shore. In swinging back into the
channel the forward end of the fleet
barely scrapped the west channel pier
of the steel bridge. The boat tied
up at Bensons until the fog cleared
away. No one can account for the
sunken barge. Masters and pilots are
warned to avoid it.

HON. E. J. PHELPS DEAD.
Has Been HI For Two Months-Deatl
Followed an Attack of Pneumonia.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March g.
Hon. E. ]. Phelps, former minister to
England, died at his home In this city
late this afternoon, after an illness of
about two months The end was
peaceful and for several hours before
he passed away he was unconscious.
There was present at the bedside the
wife and son, Charles Phelps, of Bos-
ton, and daughter, Mrs. Horatio
LOOMS, Of New York, and his ply
stefan.
Though Prof. Phelps recovered from
the pneumonia attack, he was so weak
ened that he was unable to regain
vitality. 1t had been hoped that he
might recover unit! a few days ago,
when it was apparent that his strength
had so failed that it was but matter
of hours when death would come.
The funeral services will be held
from Battell Chapel, Sunday, at 8 D. m.

ton, Vt. for interment.

BRIDGEPORT.
of Daily Events of the
Town Across the Way.

The effort of the township trustee
of this town to place himself right
before the people, certainly made a
failure. He could have procured a
room and had people watch him, and
take care of him. If the trustee does
not know the law, he must not judge
the public the same way and the
least he could have done would have
been to assume charge of the man,
which is in accordance with the law.
The Board of Health have taken
precautionary measures against small
pox coming in from Lorain, where at
present there Is an epidemic of this

The action is very wise one. The

it. This vcrnwcnt has a right to
coin all Il silver it wants to, hasn't
it?"
"Yes. but suppose we need morc?'
I suggested.
"Need m-o-r-e," he repeated, slowly.
"why, how much silver have VT
coired?"
"Well | see by the mint reports that
we've coined SG2j. 300 ,000 WORTH

"And how much gold is there in the

LABOR AND CAPITAL,
An Instance In Which They Coop
Grated to Mutual Adj
vantage.

There are millionaires and million
aires.
There is the case of Mr.. Matthew
C.. d. Borden. a millionaire mill own
err, of Fall River, Mass. widely known
among his friends and in thai town
as Matt" equally well regarded by
the millionaires of the dry goods dis
ton in Fall River whether, on az,
count of the slack demand for Ger,
tain kinds of prints, certain of the
mills should o close down. Mr.,
Borden thought not. 1t was he, by
the way, who had a year or more aS0
taken the lead in raising the pay of
his employees some ten per cent, thus
causing all the other mill owners of
Fall River to follow suit. This time
he said that production ought not to
stop, that the mills ought to be kept
going, that he men ought to be con-
tinued to " paid if there was any
way to do it. He saw a way. Per-
haps he figured that there was no
| great element of risk in the transac-
ton; yet if there was any, he took it
freely. He ordered some 5000, 900
worth of cotton goods, so that there
is no reason why there should be in
Fall River any disquicting labor situa-
ton for n long time to come.
We believe that there is a deep lesson
in this thoroughly patriotic action on
Mr.. Borden'S part for all large en-
ployers. The matter of employing
somebody, and equally the matter OF
working for another, is just rs much n
process of giving and taking as the
simplest or .he most complex of bust
ness transaction of any kind.
No one can do all the work; no one
can make all the money. No employee
can make more than a certain percent
age of the money. or, if he tries to do
so, other capitalists, equally solid finan,
cially and equally brainy, will step in
and cut his rrofits down. The employc
can by no process obtain more than he
ought to have. more than the business
man will stand. for the employer viii
simply shut down rather than continue
long to run at a loss. In a word, t."
capitalist ca mo have anything better
than n fair thing. He is a fool to eX-
pect it, and the laborer, IN the othe'
hand, cannct get more than the bust
ness will sand. though he ought in
every Ease to have what he deserves.
1t is easy to argue from this point,
and we believe that nobody will deny
hat the better employers and en-
Moves understand one another, not

At 1890 they were still in session.
Chairman Lathrop of the Lehigh Val
ley company is presiding.
1t is understood that President
Truesdale ofthe Lakawanna company
has referred to the superintendent
the plan of settlement of the miners
strike as proposed by the presidents
of the coal-carrying roads. Up to this
time the representatives of the COM
panies in this section have had arbi-
trary power and before any move was
made by the presidents of the COM
panies the high officials in charge Of
the mine were consulted.
But it would now appear hat the
presidents of the companies have re-
legated all power to themselves. The
large individual operators were not
represented at the conference.
One individual operator stood out
side the door where the conference
was held. Asked if he was taking
part in the deliberations he said:
NO, the individual operators will cut
no figure in the settlement, if a set
tlement is made. Everything depends
upon the big companies. What they
say goes"
1t is said that the representatives Of
the companies here said yesterday
they would not oppose the granting Of
an increase of wages or \ reduction
in the price of powder, and will advise
