FITCHBURG CONDUCTORS
ASK INCREASE IN PAY

The conductors on the Fitchburg di-
vision of the Boston e. Maine Railroad
are looking for an increase of 20 cents
day in pay to correspond with the
pay received by the conductors Of the
Boston g. Maine. When the bitchburg
road was absorbed by the Boston d
Maine the conductors Of the Fttcbburg
road thought that their pay would be
raised to correspond with pay of the
conductors of the Boston e. Maine but
when it was seen that it was not done,
a petition was drawn up and presented
to the head officials of the road. Moth
ing was done in regard to the petition.
The only consideration it received was
to be laid on the table for further con-
sideration.
The Christmas rush is over for lit
tie while, to commence again when the
people who have gone to their homes
or other places to spend the holidays
are returning.
People who patroniZe the Boston &

know soon that the Boston & Albany
road ever existed, as the New York

to erase everything that will make peo-

to the lodges within his jurisdiction,
which, in part, is as follows:-
Brethren-Informati reaches me
that steps have been taken for the es-
tablishment of clandestine lodges in
this jurisdiction.
The body although a spurious or
ganization, sstaI 3ished without compe-
tent authority may succeed in playing
upon the credulity of a sufficient num-
Der of people to enable its agents to
establish so-called lodges in this state;
therefore. to the end that the brethren
Of our lodges may be warned against
impOsters in the guise of Masons, I
deem it my duty to call the attention
of the craft to this matter.
1T is my order, in view of the at
tempt now made to form irresponsible
and spurious bodies in this jurisdiction.
that the utmost care be exercised in
the admission of visitors; that the
usual safeguards be absolutely OBJ
served; that particular care be taken
to ascertain the regularity of the lodge

Realistic Picture of the Famous
Engagement Presented Except
That Suffering of American
Troops Was Not Apparent
PARADE FOLLOWED
THE SHAM BATTLE
Indoor Celebration Was Held in
Taylor Opera House Which
Was Packed From Pit to Dome
Fireworks Display Had to be
Postponed

Trenton, N. j., Dec. 26.-The 125th
anniversary of the battle Of Trenton
was deliberately celebrated here, today.
The suspicious weather had the effect
of bringing out a large crowd of
strangers and local people who lined
the streets along which the sham bat
tie and the subsequent parade took
place.
The sham battle did not commence
until after 1 O'clock owing to the
Iateness of the arrival of the National
Guard from out-of-town points. The
forces of Gen Washington, Gen. Sui
Ivan and the Hessians for more than
an hour occupied the streets and
covered the ground that was gone over
in the original battle, and realistic
picture of that battle was presented
except the suffering which the Ameri-
can forces underwent because of the
cold weather and the insufficiency of
clothing. The sham battle began near
the battle monument and continued
down Warren and Broad Streets, the
Hessian forces, under Col. Gilmore of
the Second Regiment, retreating and
hating at short distances and firing
on the advancing Americans. This
continued until the surrender at two
points, one in front Of the post ofhee
on East State Street and the other ON
South Broad Street.
During the sham battle there was
continuous firing Of guns and cannon.
After the surrender, the military was
reformed for the general parade
which was supplemented by more than
1000 members and civic organizations
of the city.
The parade proved somewhat of
failure by reason of q misunderstood
ing which resulted in the military o.
! the first division passing the reviewing
| stand fully a half hour ahead OF tn
second or civic division. 1t is claimed
| tonight by Gen. Owens, the marshal o
| the civic division, that he had not beei
consulted as to the moving of the pa
rade and that the military division
started before the division Of which
he was in charge was ready.
Taylor Opera House, where the in
door celebration took place was pack
ed from pit to dome. Gov. VOORHEES,
as the presiding officer, made but
brief address Prof. Wilson of Prince
ton University. in his address besides
dealing with the history of the battle
of Trenton touched upon the ideals o.
America. He spoke hopefully of thu
result that will follow our recent eX
pansion both to ourselves as nation
and the F1lipinos as a people
He discouraged the political condition
which seemed to have evolved the DO
Iitical boss, but looked upon the boss
as an incident, rather than a necessary
result of our form of government. The
exercises at the opera house were open
ed with prayer by Bishop McFaul Of
the Catholic diocese of Trenton anc
were closed with benediction by Bishop
Scarborough of the Episcopal diocese
of New Jersey.
The fireworks display which was t.
have taken place tonight had to be
postponed on account of the weather

PITTSBURG TRAINMEN

Pittsburg, Dec. 26.-All railroad com
panies in Pittsburg district TODAY
granted increases to brakemen and
yardmen and yard fremen. The ad-
vance is uniformly, two cents an hour
to yard conductors and brakemen, and
one cent an hour to yard firsmen- Yard
engineers are not affected by the in
crease, because they are now being
paid more in proportion than other
yard men.
The advance is practically the scale
which the men tried 10 force several
weeks ago by striking and failed The
officials say the advance is given be-
cause the yard situation in this dis
trice has become more difficult to
handle and puts much extra work on
the men.
