WORK SATISFIES
THE TRA|NIMEh
Employees at Pittsburg
Decline to Join
Switchmen,
Strikers Express Confidence
in Success Of the
Cause.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. 27-The Rail
way Trainmen decided officially and
finally at delegate meeting held in the
Avenue Theater to-day that they would
continue at work, Notwithstanding the
strike of the Switchmen's Union of North
America. This means that they will take
out trains made up by non-union men
and that the switchmen, who are mem
bers of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, will join the strike of their
union.
At a late hour tonight Messrs. Norris
sey and Fitzgerald are in secret confer
ence with Robert Pitcairn, general super
intendent of the Pennsylvania lines. What
the subject of the conference is has not
been learned as yet.
The strikers continue confident of ulti-
mately winning the strike, and say the
action taken by the Brotherhood of Train
men will not materially affect their cause.
They say the roads are to all intents and
purposes tied up, and that tonight even
passenger trains are being blocked. The
company officials say that what delay
there may be in passenger business is
caused by the unusual congested condi-
ton of the roads here and elsewhere.
The conditions as found to-day are about
as follows:
The Baltimore and Ohio made little at
tempt to move freight locally, although
several trains were made up in the Glen
NCOQ ydTQS ana sent over the Pike.
-Four crews worked until noon, when two
were laid off. The yardmasters says
eight solid trains were made up in the
yards to-day.
The Allegheny Valley road has expert
enced little If any relief and business in
the yards is practically at a standstill.
Only few cars filed with perishable
freight were moved The Crescent mill
al Forty-ninth street is reported partial
~ closed down and the Carnegie, Twen-
ty-ninth street and Thirty-third street
mills, 1t is feared, will have to suspend if
the Allegheny Valley fails TO get supplies
to them soon.
The Pittsburg and Western has Jared
pretty we'll to-day 1t landed in the
yard at Bennett station fifteen men from
Philadelphia, and three shifts were work
ing. The officials now have hopes of
breaking the strike in a few days. They
have given their old men until to-mor-
row to return, and if they fail new men
will be put to work at once.
The Pittsburg Junction road is still tied
up and nothing is being moved.

TWENTY NINE VICTIMS
ON THE LIST OF DEAD
University Professor Will Make Ex-
animation of Boiler That Caused
Detroit Disaster.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 27.-When the
search of the ruins of the Penberthy In
jector Company's plant. wrecked by a
boiler explosion yesterday morning, was
completed tonight the death list had
reached a total of twenty-nine. All but
two of the company's employees have been
located, and as these men worked in the
front building, which was not wrecked,
it is thought that they are at their homes.
The mems addresses are not on the COM
pany's books, so it may be some time be-
fore they are located. At 6 o'clock to-
night the searchers finished the work of
turning the debris. Only two bodies were
found to-day, both of which were terribly
mangled.
The Prosecuting Attorney this afternoon
began an examination into the cause of
the explosion. Professor Mortimer F.
Cooley of the University of Michigan,
who has been asked by Prosecutor Hunt
to make an expert examination of the
wrecked boiler, came in from Ann Arbor
this afternoon and went directly to the
scene of the explosion. He inspected the
exterior of the boiler but said as yet he
could venture no opinion with regard to
the cause of the explosion
Professor Cooley will begin his detailed
examination tomorrow The injured at
the hospitals were reported resting easily
tonight with the exception of John
Klinowicz, who, it is said will probably
die before morning.

REGISTRARS DEPUTIES
DRAW HIGH SALARIES
Auditor Wells Recognizes Ordinance
Creating New Positions for Clerks
Gordan and Zemansky.

Auditor Wells decided yesterday that he
would audit the demands of Daniel Cor
dan and Harry Zemansky, respectively
chief clerk and Deputy Registrar in the
Registrars office, whose salaries were in
creased to $50 per month by the Board OF
Supervisors. Several months ago the Au-
d1tOr refused to sign the demands because
he took the ground that under the char
ter the salaries of deputies in the Reg
1strar's office were limited to 500 per
month.
The City Attorney, however, recently
discovered another section of the charter
which makes it possible for the Supervi-
sors, acting on the recommendation of the
Mayor, to create the two positions and
fix the salaries thereof. The ordinance
on the subject was passed by the votes
of fourteen Supervisors, and the Auditors
favorable action makes it enforcea bic.
The salaries were raised because Gordaa
and Zemansky have a thorough knowl-
edge of affairs in the Registrars Office
and act as fOremen Of men under their
charge

POSTAL SERVICE
COST INCREASES
Report of the Depart
ment Sent to the
President.
Rural Free Delivery System
Is Making Rapid
Strides.

WASHINGTON, Nov. N.-Postmaster
General Smith to-day submitted his an
nual report to the President. The report
deals chiefly with statistics. The total rev.
nues and expenditures are given as fol-
lows:
Ordinary postal revenue. sos, so, rs: receipts
from money order business. 81, $50; receipts
from unpaid money orders more than one year
old. $780, 755; total receipts from all sources,
Sill, 631, 1873; total expenditures for the year.
SLID 54, go 80 Excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts. sS,92S,727.
The Secretary says regarding the sery-
ice:
While the expenditures in the ordinary de-
velopment and through various extensions OF
the service are 81, S14,652 greater than for the
preceding year the deficit is 81, 461 961 less. I'M
der present prosperous conditions the annual
increase of receipts is fortunately larger than
the inevitable increase of outlay, and tor sew
eral years the deficit has been steadily growing
smaller
The rural free delivery has advanced with
increased strides. Its extension during the
past year has been nearly three times as great
as the whole amount of service previously es-
tablished. The number of routes in operation
at the beginning of the fiscal year was 1zi6
and at the close 1901. During the current year
the work will proceed still more rapidly. At
the opening of December 5000 routes will be
running and under present plans the NUMBER
will increase by July /, 1902, to S6OO-
The rural population now receiving daily ser
vice is about T. 900 and at the end OF the
fiscal year it will reach 5,7OO,0 900 The delivery

coo rural residents-will be brought within It's
scope iE less than four years.
In conclusion the report says: The fol-
lowing recommendations for legislation,
some of which have heretofore been
made are submitted for the consideration
of Congress:
That the maximum fee for money order be
fixed at % instead of 80 cents.
That fund be created out of the salaries
of railway mail clerks to provide for the re-
tirernent of such clerks as have, after long
periods of service, become incapacitated Tor
active duty.
That publishers be required to make a pre-
lirninary separation of newspapers, under the
direction of the department, as a condition
under which they shall enjoy the exceedingly
liberal rates provided for carrying second-ciass
matter through the mails.
That the interstate commerce law be amend
ed to prohibit common carriers, to w.t. telegraph
and express companies, or any Of their EN-
ployes from aiding and abetting in the green
goods or lottery swindles. any other scheme
carried on partly by mail and partly by COM

MAYOR ASKS RECORDER
GoDCHAUX TO EXPLAIN
Civil Service Commission Refers
Charges of Dismissed Copyists to
Him for Ifavesti ora tinn

The Civil Service Commission sent a
communication yesterday to the Mayor,
informing him of the charges made by
Mark Bartlett and Frank Urmy, dis
charged copyists in the Recorders office,
against Recorder Godchaux, to the effect
that they had been dismissed because
they had refused to contribute to Cod
chaux's campaign expenses. The COM
mission contends that the copyists en-
ployed in the Office of the Recorder and
the so-called county offices are subject to
civil service jurisdiction, pending an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court. AS the com
mission is not empowered to take final
action in cases of official misconduct the
results of future Investigations will be
referred to the Mayor.
Mayor Phelan transmitted the Com
rnissioners letter to Godchaux, together
with the following personal communities
ton:
Will you please make a statement to me, in
writing concerning the allegations made? and
on Saturday at 1880 o'clock a. m., would
be pleased to see you in my office concerning
the subject matter.
Please return papers herewith transmitted. I
call your attention to section /, chapter Z, arti-
Gle " and section s, article XVI. of the char
ter These provisions, it is alleged, you or your
deputies have violated.

New Offers.
Consul General Dickinson
Strives TO Raise Needed
Money.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 14O6 G. STREET, N.
W., WASHINGTON, Nov. N.-Negotia-
lions for the liberation of Miss Ellen M.
Stone, the captive missionary, have re-
ceived decided setback as result of
the refusal of the brigands holding her to
accept ransom Of $4,000.
On the ground that rich country like
the United States which can offer $4,000
can raise 5000 more, the brigands have
acquainted the American authorities with
their purpose to hold the woman until
the sum originally demanded, $4,000. has
been paid them. If they persist in this
determination they will hold Miss Stone
indefinitely. The officials are confident
that no harm will befall the woman. She
represents a large sum of money and the
brlgands will undoubtedly see that she
suffers no discomfort which would inJure
her health.
The refusal of the brigands to accept
less than $4,000 is responsible for the de-
parture of Consul General Dickinson from
Sofia for Constantinople. A dispatch re-
Dickinson has led the authorities to the
conclusion that his purpose in going to
the Turkish capital is to consult with the
missionaries with view to raising more
money. The authorities here do not be-
ieve it will be possible to obtain further
contributions by charitable people of the
country. Congress will be in session next
week and the Senators and Representa-
tiyes friendly to missionaries will prob
ably introduce bill appropriating $45 900
to be used with the sum now available
for Miss Stones ransom.
SOFIA, Nov. 27.-The Government has
forwarded to c. NJ. Dickinson, the United
States diplomatic agent here, who re-
Gently left this city for Constantinople, a
reply to his note of November II concern
ing Miss Stone, the American missionary.
1t is merely a repetition of the official
views already cabled repudiating the Ee-
sponsibility of Bulgaria and alleging that
the officials had given every assistance
possible in the matter.

EMPLOYS CLEVER SCHEME
TO CAPTURE A THIEF

Mrs Kirby, who keeps a clearinghouse
at the corner of Fourth and Howard
streets, employed a very clever scheme
last night in order to prevent the escape
of a Japanese servant whom she sus-
pected of having stolen her gold watch,
together with $45 of her money. She did
not dare to openly accuse the Japanese,
who bears the name of Sam Kamuda of
theft, fearing that he would take flight.
So she waited until he went to his room
and then quietly slipped up and turned
the key in the door.

Lambert was in Shanghai, China, on
hoard the gunboat Helena, but at first he
refused to give the police any informa-

nished proof that at the time of the muir
der he was in China The mans state
ments were verified by the Indiana au-
thOrfties and he was hurried back to San

CAUSE OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause Only Re-
Gently Discovered.

Gently discovered.
It has been stated on good medical au-
thority that nine-tenthS of cases Of deaf
ness are caused from catarrh or from sore
throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the ear
from the throat is lined with a sort Of vel
vety structure called mucous membrane.
This membrane is simply a continuation
of the mucous membrane lining of the
throat. When disease OF any sort attacks
the mucous membrane of the throat II is
very liable to extend into the Eustachian
tube and up into the ear.
The history of nearly all cases Of deaf
ness is like this: a cold is contracted and
neglected, other colds are taken. the
throat becomes sore and iEhamed, which
is aggravated by particles Of dust and
germs from the air This condition causes
the disease to spread into the tube that
leads to the ear.
It seems little far fetched to say that
most cases of deafness are caused from
catarrh, but it is certainly true, and any
one who has had a severe catarrhal cold
must have noticed how the hearing was
affected while the cold lasted
With catarrh sufferers this impairment
of hearing becomes chronic and grows
worse the longer the catarrh Is neglected
You can cure catarrh and deafness by
