STRIKE STILL IN DOUBT
WARREN SAYS HE IS WILLING TO MEET
MEN IN SPIRIT OF FRIENDLINESS

The sentiment among the employees of the
Central Railroad of New-Jersey is still divided
on the question of calling a strike. Secret bal
loting among the men continued yesterday. Just
how many of the employees favor a strike will
not be known until these returns have been
ceived and counted by the cooperative
mittee of the employees. This committee in
cludes L. Parker Titus. of the Railroad Conduc-
tors; John W Waite. of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers; Timothy Shea, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen: James
Harrison, representing the trGinmen, and John
Nelligan. representing the telegraphers
If a two-thirds vote in favor of calling strike
is recorded the five big chiefs will at once re-
turn to New-York The will of the employees
would then be officially announced and a strike
ordered
Two members Of the cooperative committee
were seen yesterday morning consulting with
train and yard forces at Communipaw They
would not talk of their success in gaining af-
hrmative votes. They hinted that the verdict
or all the men the different divisions would
not be known for several days.
1t was asserted yesterday that the leaders
would make another effort to confer personally
with VicePresicent Warren. The fact that the
men have gone so far, it is believed will have
weight in influencing the company to make
greater efforts to meet demands.
Mr.. Warren was more retcent than usual yes
terday. He said only that there change
rumor that he would meet the men before Fri
day were true he excused himself from giving
a opinion. When called upon a second time he
repeated his words of last week to the effect
that he was willing 10 meet the men in a spirit
OF friendliness
IF they come forward he added they will
find us ready TO treat fairly and openly with
them"
1t is known that J. Pierpont Morgan who rep
resenrs large interests in the company, is per-
sonally opposed to strikes He has shown on
several occasions his preference for arbitration
more effective method of settling disputes
of this nature. 1t is felt in many quarters that
a word from his at this time would effeCtuay
prevent a crisis.
There has been some speculation as to whether
or not sympathetic strike might result from a
"walkout' on the Central of New-Jersey- Off
cals of other lines do not fear trouble Many
outside railway men doubt that the Central
employees will go out.
Chief of Police Murphy of Jersey City last
night asked the Central Railroad of New-Jersey
officials II there was any necessity for his de-
failing police to guard the railroads property or
taking any extra precautions. The company re-
piled that there necessity for she Jersey
City police act The officials thanked the
chief. and said that If there occasion for the
police being detailed to the yards or property of
the company he would be Informed in ample

STRIKE MAY NOT BE ORDERED.

Wilkesbarre. Penn, April 10-There IS still
good chance that the grievances of the employees of
the Central Railroad Of New-Jersey may be settled
without strike. The members OF the grievance
committee located in :hs section received tele-
gram from New-York tonight to take the first
train for that city. The telegram bore the sigma
ture OF Warren, Wentz & Co. The members of the
committee know the significance of the dispatch

Mr. GERRY REGISTERS HIS CAP.
THE COMMODORE MAKES SURE THAT HIS
SEALSKIN HEAD COVERING MAY
RETURN FROM EUROPE.

Commodore Elbridge t Gerry intends to sail
for Europe on the Deutschland a week from
to-day, to be gone until July. AS familiar to
the public the Commodores face is his seal
skin peaked cap, which he wears day and even
ing in all seasons This cap is going to Europe
with it's owner. and he intends that it shall re-
turn with him. To assure it's return Mr.. Gerry
yesterday visited the Custom House and secured
the registration of the cap, full description or
which was set forth in an affidavit made by
him.
Under the law seaskin articles brought into.
this country must be seized and destroyed un-
less il can be shown that they originally
purchased here, but the certificate given Com
modore Gerry yesterday will probably insure
the re-entry Of his cap. The certificate was
perhaps not absolutely Indispensable. for the
cap is by no means brand new one, and II
bears the label of well known hrm OF furriers-
Moreover il is believed that every customs off1-
Ger in this city would be able to identify it at
sight.

kind. The advertising for the various papers Is
confined to the boroughs in which the improve

stand TO reason that the boroughs outside OF

like the advertising fees of those boroughs. 1t

COMMUNICATION,

Ihe Chronicle is i'll receipt of the
following communication from l.. O..
Lathrop, concerning the recent change
of grade lines of Franklin street and
Ford avenue, and which seriously
affects Mr.. Lathrop's property. 1t
would appear that at the time the
property was improved the sidewalk
and curb lines were laid in accordance
with the grade as furnished by Richard
M. Stiles, at that time city engineer
of Morristown. Mr.. Lathrop says in
his letter to the Board of Aldermen:
SAT the suggestion of your counsel
have made new effort to mark and
propose a definite northeasterly line
for Franklin street from Franklin
Place to Ford avenue | enclose q
copy of the description of such line
as | would assent to-the line (when
agreed on) to be marked by the city
by neat and substantial mo luments
and to be established and fixed by
ordinance, report of commissioners,
deeds, &c. to the satisfaction of our
respective counsel-the expense of
making the change to be paid by the
city.
This line was prepared by Geo. W.
Howell, @. E. 1t saves the two fine
trees near the corner of Franklin
Place. 1t is, as | am advised, through
out it's whole length, inside of the
line, to which am entitled by the
city map and the official road book.
1t seems to make a better street than
the present curve, and it is to meet

the proposal is made by me.
tn 1887, before erecting my mouse
on the easterly corner of Franklin
Place and Franklin street, | was
advised, that by a bend to the left
in Franklin street, not called for by
map or road book, the whole street
was turned almost imperceptibly
and improperly toward the northeast
and that line, laid out in strict
accordance with map or roai book,
would push the street over several
feet into my opposite neighbor S

any disturbance of my neighbors. The

called to it, and after the matter had

gutter were then laid at my expense
under direction of the city surveyor
and the street commissioner. Under
what seems to me misrepresentation
of the facts this ordinance was repealed
in 1899, and a commission appointed
to fix the line. This appointment has
been reviewed in the Supreme Courts
and allowed to stand as proper
means for the city 10 inform itself
In the language OF Judge Dixon:
There is nothing in this ordinance
to indicate shat when the lines of
the street snail have Eeen defined,
any other other than legal measures
are contemplated for the actual estab-
lishment Of the lines upon the ground.
Certainly the determination of these

solution flat will determine the
