ENCOUNTER WITH NEGROES.
Street-Car Men Have Trouble with
Them-One Arrest Made.

William Carr, a conductor on a Prospect
street car had an encounter last night
with three negroes. About 9 o'clock they
jumped on the car at Laurel street, while
il was running at high speed. Carr went
forward to collect the fares and was told
that no money would be paid for riding on
that car. The motorman was given a sig
nal TO stop and Carr and the motorman
attempted 10 put the three negroes off.
One OF them drew a knife and Cars coat
was slashed. His punch was jerked off and
he, in turn, secured possession Of a hat
worn by one of the negroes. They got off
the car and started to run, when merch-
ant policeman fired several shots at them,
without effect. Then the trip around the
loop was made and when coming east the
men threw rocks, some of which narrowly
missed the mOtorman and conductor. One
rock struck the car and bounded over into
a passing buggy.
Patrolmen on the district were advised
of the affair and they learned the negroes
were waiting at the end of the line for the
return Of the car from which they had
been elected. They got on the car and rode
within one square of the end. Patroman
Hoffbauer gave Carr his revolver and then
the officers slipped up in the darkness. At
the end OF the line the car stopped and the
two negroes came toward the car. The
mOtorman, by running, caught one of the
men and the other got away. His de-
parture was followed by several shots from

The man under arrest Is Robert Williams

his eleven-yearold daughter several weeks
ago. The conductors punch was found on
him. but he claimed it had been given him

from his fathers house, where he met

PLUMBERS RANKS BROKEN.
Those Employed by Two Concerns Go
to Work with Helpers.

The fight between the Master Plumbers
Association and the Journeymen Plumbers
Union is becoming warmer each day, and
especially since the ranks of the union are
broken. The journeymen employed by
Clark & Son and Fl. A. Goth have gone
back to work with helpers. The master
plumbers now say they will not recognize
the union at all in the future and will en-
ploy union and nonunion men as they see
fit. They contend that to make the con-
cessions the journeymen ask would be to
let the union dictate the conduct Of their
business. The union claims il has asked
nothing unreasonable, that the abolition
of apprentices is in force in other cities.
Charges and counter charges are being
made by each organization against the
other and ii yet remains TO be seen which
shall be victorious. Organizer John Blue,
of Central abor Union, says the central
body will not likely take up the fight of the
plumbers.
