SOME QUESTION
ABOUT TRANSFERS
Passenger and Power Company
File a Complaint With the
Street Committee.

"A called meeting of the Street Committee
was held yesterday afternoon at
o'clock for the purpose of considering
petition Of the National Bank Of Virginia
to allow them to haul a large vault
through the streets. The request was
granted.
Captain ~ B. Guigon was before the
committee, and stated that the Passenger
and Power Company had begun the use
of horse cars over Mayo's Bridge tempo
ral.ily. He also presented a letter In ref
erence to the transfer system, as prac-
ticed between the two local companies.
The letter was received and laid on the
table without discussion. 1t follows:
Iiichmond, Va, March q. 1902.
TO the Street Committee, Richmond, Va:
conference.-the Richmond Passenger
and Power Company holds lnredeemed
transfers issued by the Richmond Trac-
ton Company during the last six months
amounting in value to $192.72. over and
above the Richmond Passenger and
Power Cornpanys transfers held by the
Richmond Traction Company. Payment
for these transfers has frequently been
demanded from the Richmond Traction
Company and absolutely refused.
While the Passenger and Power Com
pany has fulfilled all its obligations to
inc city dIu ~ Iiie ioSslSt NoAiEo'AiJ ~
the ma tier of transfers. and while X
would not like to inconvenience the pub
lie by refusing transfers, still the Pas
senser and Power Company will not sub
init to this imposition any longer. II
your committee can suggest any way of
compelling the Traction Company to per-
form it's duty to the public without shifts
ing its burden on to the Passenger and
Power Company, we shall be glad to CO.
operate in any reasonable measure;
otherwise, we shall be compelled to re-
fuse to exchange transfers with the
Traction Company.
Very truly yours,
RICHMOND PASSENGER & POWER CO.

CHICAGOAN, MORTALLY WOUNDED.
Sensational Tragedy Growing Out of
Family TrOubIes-AII Interested
Were Under Peace Bonds.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Robert McFetridge
a wealthy ice dealer. was shot and mortally
wounded tonight by his brother. William
McFetridge. For long time there has
been bad blood between the brothers over
business matters. In these disputes Robert
was generally adjudged by his neighbors
and the courts to be in the right: The
brothers. their wives and nearly all men,
bers of their respective families were in
Judge Dunnes court this evening, where
an assault case growing out of the family
troubles was being heard There was so
much beligerent talk on both sides that
Judge Dunno placed all parties under peace
bonds before allowing them to leave the
court.
While Robert McFetridge was on his way
home carrying in his arms his two-year-
old niece. William McFetridge came up
from behind and shot him in the back
Badly wounded he was Roberts chief
care was to protect the little girl. He tried
TO nut her in place OF safety and as he
ran his brother followed. shooting him
twice more William McFetridge was ar
rested after a short search by the police.
The case which was on trial before Judge
Dunno was the result OF charges preferred
by William McFetridge. who did the shoot
ing tonight He accused his brother of
shooting him. Robert admitted the shoot
ing. but claimed he did it because his
brother was trying to kill him with an ice
pick. The evidence was so clearly in favor
of Robert McFetridge that the States at
torney who was prosecuting the case asked
that Robert be discharged. This aroused
William McFetridge 10 a frenzy and when
Judge Dunno declared that he would nut
all parties under bonds to keep the peace
he declined TO give them until threatened
with confinement in jail After giving the
bond ne went out procured revolver and

CAPTURE OF BURGLARS
PURSUED BY BLOODHOUNDS AFTER
ROBBING A KENTUCKY BANK.
All Their Booty, Which Was Secured
by Dynamiting a Safe, Recovered
Other Robberies.

HARTFORD, Ky, Jan. 22.-The bank of
Hartford was robbed of between $500 and
S3, 500 at 3 o'clock this morning by four men
who blew open the safe with dynamite and
escaped after a fight with the deputy
sheriff and some citizens. The robbers OBJ
open a rear window and after dynamiting
the safe secured all the gold and silver
they could find, as we'll as $500 worth of
stamps. They failed, however, TO take
about 81, 900 worth of bank notes which were
in the vault. The noise of the explosion
aroused one of the neighbors, VINO called
the deputy sheriff and some of the citizens
to the scene by telephone AS soon as they
arrived they opened fire on the robbers, who
returned the shots. A running fight fol-
lowed, but no one was wounded and the
thieves succeeded in escaping though they
dropped the 500 worth of stamps in their
flight. A posse with bloOdhounds is now
on the trail of the fugitives
The four burglars were captured by Dep
uty Sheriff Keown and posse with blood
hounds after a short chase. The dogs took
up the trail at Rough river and followed
IL until the men were found concealed
among some logs about two miles north Of
Hartford. They surrendered and were
placed In jail at Hartford All of the stolen
money was recovered. The robbers gave
the following names. but refused to talk
further: j. l.. Marsh, Estill county, Ky;
Georgia, and c. c. Gray. of Green county.

NEELY GOT RICH QUICK
TESTIMONY OF pOsTOFFICE INSPEC-
TORS AT MUNCIE MANS TRIAL.
He Is Alleged to Have Deposited
Thousands of Dollars in His Home
Bank in a short Time.

HAVANA Jan. 22-The testimony of the
pOstoffice inspectors introduced by the gov
ernment to-day at the trials Of the charges
growing out of the Cuban postal frauds. was
to the effect that c. F. w. Neely, ex-chief
of the Cuban postal bureau of finance,
came to Havana practically bankrupt in
December 1899; that between that time and
January, 1900. he made deposits in the bank
at Muncie, Ind, amounting to siS,7Oo and
that the bond of $4,000 furnished by Neely
at the time of his arrest forwarded
from his account with the Muncie bank 10
the First National Bank at New York.
Inspector Holmes testified that certain
deposits Neely had made through the pres
ident of the Muncie bank represented 20 per
cent of the bills of the lock box company
which furnished the lock boxes for the
Havana postof1ice. Holmes also testified
that his investigation showed that Estes c.
Rathbone had not sent money from Havana
during the time that he was postmaster
general of Cuba; that the paying off of the
mortgage upon his estate had been done
prior TO his going to Havana. and that all
Rathbones transactions with the United
States had been honorable and above sus-
picion.
Inspector Sullivan was still on the stand
when court adjourned. He said his in
spection of the Havana Dostoffice had not
disclosed Irregularities; that ii was the duty
OF inspectors to report upon the condition
of the postoffice to the postmaster general
and that the latter naturally relied upon
their reports. He admitted that much re-
sponsibility rested with the inspectors. He
also said he was aware that Rathbone had
written to Washington, asking that six
good inspectors be sent to Havana. Only
three inspectors were sent and these had
not had sufficient experience to examine
into the details of large postoffice like
that of Havana

MUNCIE. Ind, Jan. 22.-The blowers.
gatherers, cutters and fatteners employed
in the two factories of the American Win
dow Glass Company Cthe trusD were to-
day informed that their wages would be
increased from 10 to 10 per cent, beginning
on Feb. l. There has been no request made
for more wages The employed IN
the hfty-four factories of that company
throughout the country are members OF Il.
a. 800. Knights of Labor. headed by Presi-
dent Burns.
The great number of new window glass
factories has made a scarcity of men, there
now being places for one thousand addl-
tionaI skilled wOrkmen- The labor organi-
zation has refused to create new men, as
serting that there are now enough work
men to make the glass required for the
trade. AS a result there has been great
sparring by the managers to fill their fac
tories with wOrkmen. The cooperative
factories and independents have Jared bet
ter than the American Company for the
reason that there has been natural pre1u-
dice against the so-called trust.
Having failed in it's attempt TO disrupt
the opposition by cutting prices because of
the organization Of the outside manufac-
turers. the American Company is believed
20 have adopted new plan 10 NIL Its fac-
tories with workmen by offering wages
which the men probably will not refuse.
Vice President Thomas +. Hart, one of the
leading men in the American Company,
who lives in Muncie, tonight refused TO
discuss the proposition, and states that his
company will make no. explanation other
than 10 announce the increase in wages
for skilled workmen who want places IN
it's fifty-four factories. The American Com
pany can use nearly every skilled workman n
IN the country If il can get them.
PITTSBURG. Jan. 22.-To-days wage no
tice posted by the American Window Glass
Company will benefit fully five thousand
men. Upon hearing of the action OF the
American Window Glass Company, Presi-
dent o. p. Cole. Of the Independent Glass
Company, promptly announced similar
advance for his company's wOrkmen, max
ing the total number of men affected nearly
ten thousand.
