RUNAWAY COUPLE.
Italian Man and Woman Came tci
Grief Here.
Eloped From New York and Were
Arrested Last Night-Mid-
night Hearing.

Magistrate Bradley has always had tho
reputation OF being an indefatigabI bIs
worker no matter in what position he
may be placed, and this in large mea
sure is responsible for his breaking the
record by holding a mid night session Of
court last night.
The primary cause of this were Anna
Loiacono and Antonio ScarpcIlo who ran
away from New York together. When
Mrs. Ioiaconos husband went home
from his work last night he was sur.
prised to find his wife missing.
He Immediately went to Scarpello's to
sec if his wife was there. His surprise
was great when he discovered that Scar.
pello was missing. After comparing
notes with Mrs. Scarpello and deignins
that they had come to this city the
deserted husband and wife boarded the
next train from that city this
1t was not long before the truants wcre
located.
A warrant was placed In the hands Of
Constable Charles Green who arrested
them in n boarding house on Market
street at 1l.3o last night. They were
immediately taken before the magistrate
who after hearing the evidence held them
each in $500 bail for court.
Mrs. Lo1acono and Mrs. Scarpelo are
sisters.

REPLY TO PRESIDENT BAER.
Employees Of Reading Railroad Shops
Issue an Address.

Reading. June 25.--The employees Of the
Reading Railroad shops who are now
on strike along the Reading system,
through A. II. Bechor, the chairman of
their executive committee, this afternoon
issued a reply to the letter sent out by
George Il. Baer, president of the Read
ing and Jersey Central. The men say:
1--WE regret the spirit of the address.
1t is that Of an autocrat, who scorns our
complaints. our grievances. 1t is beneath
the dirEity of his high station and un-
worthy of one charged with the great
responsibilities of his place, upon whose
action the tla terial welfare, comfort and
happiness of so many depend"
The reply then goes on to consider the
demands Of the men, and says that Mr..
Bacr, as n lawyer, should know that nine
hours is the law fixed by the United
States and by many States. There is
nothing so absurd in nine hoIrs as to
justify refusal to discuss it. The de-
mands of time and half time for all over
time are urged on the same grounds. 1t
is not unreasonable. for it has been the
usuage for years. Double time for Sun.
day work is next discussed The Bible
and nature are against Sunday work.
Extra compensation for such work
should be allowed. TIE reply continues:
'Mr Baer says: we fully understand
what this involves We workingmen
say to him. And so do we.' We well
know that with his salaries drawn from
the Reading Railroad and affiliated com
panics reputed to amount to 100000, he
and the wife and daughter so dear to
him will sleep we'll and want for nothing,
while we and those as dear to us as his
may suffer for the time: but when we re.
call what sacrifices the most valued
rights Of man have cost in every age
and cause. we ar" willing and resolved
to make the sacrifice"
At the close Of business today no more
employees had quit work and the situation
remained the same as last Saturday.
There is still a belief that an attempt
will be made to cause strike in the big
machine shops here.

of the documents on the walls. The
letter gives the men until tomorrow
morning to return to work. If they do
not do SO, their places will be filed, as
the work must be done"
The strikers, who are members Of Car
Builders Union, No, s,995, A. f. Of L.,
declare that the letter of President Baer
will have no effect. They will hold
meeting tomorrow night in Friendship
Hall, 1866 Germantown avenue, where
the letter will be taken up and discussed.
One Of the strikers said yesterday:
IF the public only knew what we have
had to suffer In the past, they would
not blame us for striking. What we
most want is that the yard should be
rooted over. so that we will have some
protection from the weather. Many times
we are compelled to stand out In pour
ing rain to work on cars,' and If we
should get inside the car to escape wet
ting, we are discharged. In winter the
men in the yard suffer very much from
the severe weather. We are not scared
by Mr.. Baer's ultmatum and will not go
back to work, as we believe the rest OF
the men will come out in a few days,
and then we will win."
Business Agent KeeGan said yesterday
that if strike against the Reading
Company is ordered. the three shops in
Philadelphia will likely be included In
the order

The Yards Closed and 1000 Italians

Kingston, n. Y, June 25.-A strike in
volving ten bricklayers on tho Hudson
River, just north of this city, and over
1000 men, was begun early this morning.
and as result each yard is lying idle.
The men ask for 15 cents more day.
The strike started at about o'clock,
when from fifteen to twenty Italians and
negroes working at G. p. Hendricks
yard at East Kingston demanded the in.

would be granted. When 1t was refused,
all the other men quit. All the men EN-.
ployed started at once for Roses yard

MAY TIE UP THE
READING SYSTEM

Reading, Pa, June 25.-Thcre was no
| stampede of strikers back, to the shops
! Of the Reading railway this. A8rning
| According to the companys figures not
| dozen men out of the 1000 who struck
| returned, and, on the other hand, there
| were some accessiOns to the ranks of
| those on strike. The executive commit
tees reply to President Baer had the
effect of stiffening the cause of the men,
and they are in good spirits. The COM
pany's clerks worked until Il late hour
last night, preparatory to paying off those
who disobeyed President Baer's order
and failed to return this morning. The
car shops are crippled, and the boiler
making and blacksmith departments are
idle Moulders and machinists are wait
ing for orders to strike.
Today. A. II. Bcschor, chairman of
the joint executive committee of the
strikers, told the men of the duty that
was before them, and again admonishcd
them to keep away from the saloons and
company property. and to at all times
behave with propriety. The strikers an.
pear anxious to preserve order, and are
carefully following the advice given by
the leaders not to 20 near the company's
property and thus subject themselves
ana the cause they represent to the
danger of being unconsciously drawn into
difficulty.
That the strike, though barely in
augnrated. is being felt in the commun-
ity is shown by the caution with which
many business men are laying in sup
plies. The merchants say that until the

WATER TOWER ROOF.
Contract Awarded by the Water De-
partment Yesterday.

| At the regular meeting yesterday afte.'
noon the Board Of Water Commissioners
| awarded to j. s. Thorn & Company Of
| Philadelphia the contract for furnishing
and putting up all copper work for the
| roofing of the water tower In Rockford
| Park for $2932. The only other bid re-
| ceived was 3,6SS from Charles Ii. Blaine
of this city.
The board decided to supply the Will
mington City Railway Company with
water for sprinkling purposes at the
regular meter rates. After the first 20O,-
900 gallons have been used by the COM
pany the cost for water will be So cents.
thousand cubic feet or less than five
cents thousand gallons. ~
This decision of the commissioners will
give the railway company about thu
minimum rate Of other cities that charge
! for water for sprinkling along street car
lines. But two cities in the country,
Chicago being one of them, do not charge
railway companies for water for sprinkle
ing. Other cities charge at rates from
three cents to ten cents a thousand gall
Ions.
If the company decides to accept the
conditions it will get a rectangular iron
car for sprinkler.

MACHINlTTS
NOT DISMAYED.

The fact that several Of the nom union
maclIinists who joined the union men in
their strike for ninc-hOur day with
ten hours pay have returned to work in
the shops of the Harlan Il Hollingsworth
Company will have no bearing whatever
on the strike. The few no-union men
! who have returned can do but little to-
wards running large machine shop like
| the Harlan Il Holiingsworth Company's.
Inc union men are probably the ones
most benefited as they will have the
money which was peing paid the men
who returned to work, every week
while they were out.
The action Of the nOn-uniOn men in
returning to work has made the ranks
OF the union men stronger than ever.
The three non-lnion machinists who went
into work yesterday at the Harlan d
HolingswOrth shops were FREDERICK
Beck, Isaac Weaver and John Hend-
ricks of New Castle. Not one of the
union strikers have returned to the above
