HUSBANDS ASHES GONE AsTRAY.--
The mistake of the Boston and Albany
baggage agent in Boston in checking a
handbag Thursday to Van Housen, on
the Albany main line, instead OF to
Van Duesen on the Berkshire division
OF the consolidated, has caused a Boa-
ton woman, whose name is not known,
considerable worry, and the OIL
Gals are busy trying to get trace of the
missing piece of luggage. The bag is
an ordinary one, but what makes it's
owner so anxious about it is because it
contains the ashes OF her late husband,
whose body was cremated several days
ago near Boston. When the woman
checked the bag the baggage agent un-
derstood her to say Van Housen, but
on her arrival at Van Duesen the bag
was not there. She was very much put
out about the loss and fastened to the
railroad officials to have search insti-
tuted. She fret told the railroad men
that the bag contained clothing she
was going to wear at funeral and f.
nally said that her husbands ashes
were contained in it also.
A lot of telegraphing was done be-
tween Van Duesen and Van Housen
and the bag is probably safe.

Buffalo. May 2.-With the ultimatum
that was to have been given yesterday

car repairers - the New York Central
railroad is unchanged except in so far
as the action OF President Galloway in
%consenting that Supt. Waite, of the
motive power department, shall meet
in conference the representatives of
the strikers. has caused a belief among
the strikers that the company is dis
posed to pursue n conciliatory policy.
The leaders of the strike were very
pronounced in their expressions of de-
termination to make no concessions.
They also inveighed against further
delay and insisted that the settlement
must come at once. or else they must
not be held responsible for preventing
q spread Of the strike. 1t is said that
the strike spirit had taken hold of the
railroad men in Buffalo, and procrastl-
nation would not hold in its bounds.
