day by which all the machinists. seven hundred
in number will return TO work tomorrow on a
nine hour basis, but the firm will employ any
men il chooses. without any reference to the
union These were the terms proposed by the
firm before the strike took place. The agree
ment resulted from a conference between the
firm and a committee of the strikers yesterday

ness TO accept the conditions. The firm also de-
cided 10 put the helpers. blacksmiths. and others
who were thrown idle 10y a shutdown following
the strike, and who will also return To work to-

about fourteen hundred men affected by the
strike and shutdown will return TO work.
The strikers look on this as a victory. as.
cept for formal recognition of the union, they
have gained all they demanded. The firm at

NEW-JERSEY NEWS.
THE DEEP WATERWAY Project.
BELIEVED THAT 1T HAS SUBSTANTIAL
BACKING AND THAT 1T WILL BE
CARRIED OUT.

One of the most interesting topics discussed In
Jersey City yesterday the proposed deep water
way across Hudson County TO connect New-Hork
Bay with Newark Bay. 1t was said that the
Jersey City Board of Finance would not long delay
taking up the proposition build piers along the
Jersey City front of the Hackensack River one
citizen in position TO speak authortatively, said:
I'm one year from the man who saw that
waterfront to-day will not be able TO recognize It,
The piers sure 10 come.
In addition to the interest manifested in Jersey
City in the deep waterway the matter has caused
a keen interest throughout the State The greatest
fears about the ultimate of the undertaking
are due as they have all along been. to the suppo-
sition that the railroad companies which now
cross the Morris Canal at the points where it
forms the boundary line between Jersey City and
Bayonne. may vigorously oppose any attempt 10
convert the old canal into a ship waterway, for
the that the railroad trains would be liable
to delay on account of drawbridges spanning the
canal. on this point a well informed Jersey City
said:
The scheme is a great one. and If carried out
would no doubt prove OF immense ndTa Ib,S6

speedily vanish, because Morgan controls nearly
railroads cross the canal over high. bridges. These
changes would entail a heavy cost but Mr.. Morgan
everybody knows. has millions at his command.
People who in touch with Robert Davis. the
Collector of Jersey City, whose remarks on this
subject appeared in The Tribune yesterday, and
who first unfolded the canal project a few days
ago. said yesterday that the proposition about the
ship canal was not a speculative or impulsive dec
laraton, but that it the outcome OF quietly
laid plans which have already reached something
like definite stage, and which probably viii be
completed by the time the New-Jersey leSlslat ture
meets in next January. Intimate friends OF Mr..
Davis remarked further that the ship canal Is TO
be pushed primarily for the benefit OF Jersey City,
and that the city authorities have 1t in their power
bring the railroad companies into line in case
they should manifest disposition 70 thwart the
project The Pennsylvania the Lehigh Valley and
other companies are planning extensive improve
ments at the southern end of Jersey City, and
they need the assistance of the city authorities 10
make possible the execution Of their plans. 1t was
said that these companies are not disposed 20 an
tagOnize the city.
The suggestion that perhaps the railroad COM
panies may eventually be induced to raise their
tracks and cross the proposed canal over a nigh
bridge. and thus do away with draw bridges Is be-
heved to be possible OF execution.

piled 10 the court on June u for q summons for

one son and several small children live in Be
ment-ave. and his factory is in Cary-ave, q
short distance away.
The case was called yesterday morning before

ton told the magistrate that last week he had
decided TO move and that on the morning of
June II his wife had entered the factory and
had told him that she wanted some barrels TO
pack household goods in. He gave her short
answer. a quarrel followed in the presence of
COston's employees Mrs Coston objected to her
husband wearing his hat in her presence. and
when he refused TO take it off she deliberately
knocked it off. repeating the act as often as he
replaced his hat and sometimes striking him on
the face Mr.. Coston admitted that he had be-
come angered and had struck his wife. and that
in return his son. who had seen him strike her.
promptly knocked him down. Mr.. Coston said
that in the presence of his employees his wife had
spoken of him in a disparaging way. He said
that the girls in the shop became frightened
and fed screaming from the building, and he
had considerable trouble in inducing them 10
return to work His testimony was substan-
tiated by the two girls. Irene and Catherine
Baxter.
Mrs Coston admitted knocking her husbands
hat from his head and said that she dld not IN
tend TO strike him. but simply wanted TO make
things as unpleasant possible for him.
Magistrate Marsh reprimanded Mrs. Coston
and said that she should live peaceably with her
husband and not bother him at his place or busl-
ness He then dismissed the case. The court
informed Coston that if he did not get along
happily with his wife he could obtain separa-
ton.
