cle6 with red rims, as If he had been
/ having night Of 1t with the b'hoys."
! a smile of quiet contentment illumfn-
atcd his features, and he had what
might be delicately described as IAN
edge on. There were not many in the
place he entered. Meeting an old ac-
quaintancc, he gave an invitation,
Have one, Frank?" The whites
jacketed man behind the bar took the
order and placed two glittering am
ber-tinted glasses on the smooth plank.
SAY. Frank, | played in great luck
last night. You know the poker room
kept by Prof Ii? Well, I was
there all night and cashed in 81 worth
of chips this morning" and then fol-
lowed Il description of the narrators 8
cleverness and OF the kinds of cards
he held, and to exercise any doubts in
the listeners mind he reached down
in his vest pocket and hauled out IL
little wad of ones" and 'twos.'
While he had been absorbed in his
tale the door of the restaurant had
opened and u woman with wrathful
countenance pcered in. One glance
was enough. With compression OF
her lips she recognized the object of
her search. a few quick steps and she
had the card player by the coat collar.
He turned around with his winnings
still in his hand, but when he saw who
had him he turned pale, his knees
Knocked together, and he made an in
eifectual effort to hide the money.
well, here you be. be you. and I sit
ting up all night waiting for you to-
come home and not thing to eat for
breakfast this morning for the children
or me. Wherad you git that money!"

band a stir upper-cut in the face.
You'll come home and buy barrel
Of flour with that money! she said
after this gentle correction, land when
l get you home I'll backen both your
eyes SO YOU won't see for week"
The husband attempted to back
away, which brought several more good
punches from his spouse, who lowered
a foot above his head.
But, madame" nterposad the bar
tender, Il"
You keep still. l know YOU" said
the woman, with whitening look, and
the niXologist subsided.
With a firm grip on her husbands $
collar she walked him to the door and
from there led him down Main street,
ever and anon stopping to bestow some
word of unchaste reproof. varying it
occasionally by hitting him in the face
with her clenched fist, unmindful of
the fact that spectators We're enjoying
fhe unaccuStomed sight.
If she fuliills her threats her hus-
band will have Il pair of bum lamps
this morning and the neighbors on
Scott street Will have lots 10 talk

HAVE WON THEIR DEMANDS.
The Delaware and Hudson Company
Grants Machinists Extra Pay.


The committee of machinists who
journeyed to Albany on Tuesday even
ing, as announced exclusively In The
Tribune the next day. have now re-
turned home, well satisfied with the re-
suits of their mission. The committee

ject In going to the Empire state being
to lay the matter of their discharge

Slack started from Albany to come
here at just about the time the men
started from Carbondale, arriving in
this city at 1901 o'clock OF Tuesday
night The trains bearing Mr. Slack
and the committee passed each other
about halfway between Carbondale
and Albany. The next morning Mr..
Slack went out to the locomotive shops,
had talk with Mr.. Fenne, and then
came to the Watt building, where he
had conference with the locked out
men.
On learning that committee was
awaiting him in Albany, Mr.. Slack seur
Wofu lor them to await his arrival
there. All day Wednesday he was
around town investigating and before
night he became convinced that the
men had a just grievance. He left on
the 4.33 train on Wednesday night, and
on Thursday morning he met the local
committee in his office. They were as
sured that all the trouble would be ad-
justed satisfactorily, and at i.25 Thurs
day afternoon left Albany, reaching
here at 1901 that night.
1t is now confidently expected that
the forty-two discharged machinists
will be reinstated in their employment
on Monday morning. with a rate of
time and a quarter for all overwork.
