THE RAILROAD CONFERENCES
(Continued from First Page.)

pany to make up train of as many cars and as many men as they cared to. We have never interfered in this mat ter at all. The rules are virtually all settled, and as far as they are made out they are perfectly Satisfactory. In the freight service the brakemen want at least two cents a mile and the flagmen two and one-tenth cents a mile. The passenger men are so rated that their hours of service will be in accordance with 8 mile run, and they should be re- munerated accordingly"
 MT Fitzpatrick stated that the wage question was about the only issue at present. In reference to the trouble in the Harlem River yards he said it was hard thing to keep men in the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road service there, as the men doing the same class of work in New Jersey on other lines were getting much more pay, but he thought that everything would be satisfactorily settled for them soon.
 Grand Senior Conductor Wilkins stat ed last evening that the conductors matter would be taken up as soon as the trainmen had finished.
 The doings in detail yesterday were as follows:
 At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the grievance committee of the trainmen of the New York.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cur ed by One Bottle of ChamberIain's
 Cough Remedy.

When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
 ". Perry. editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. Y. This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon full of this remedy, and when the cough ing spell would come on at night I would take dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep per- fectly free from cough and it's accom- panying pains. To say that the remedy acted as most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried it for such purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before Mir. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale by all druggists.

MARTIN SECURES INJUNCTION.

MARTIN SECURES INJUNCTION.
 George B. Martin of this city, at the head of the Empire Transportation com pany, and Frank P. Johnson of the Tide water Trap Rock company of Branford are in an interesting legal battle over five barges. The unusual proceeding of an injunction restraining the pursuing of suit of repIevin is involved in the case.
 Last August Martin and Johnson had a talk over the five sunken barges of the Empire Transportation company, which were in the harbor. Johnson said he would give $250 for each of the barges and pay all the expenses of raising them. Martin agreed to this and added that if Johnson raised one barge he should pay only $100 for it. Johnson neglected to start the work on the barges, and on October 31, 1902, re- peated his offer for them.
 Johnson let the work go until Janu- ary "A, 1908, when he sent check to Martin for the boats, indicating that he was about to do the work. Martin in the meantime had become tired of wait ing for Johnson, and started to raise the boats himself. He returned John- sons check by mail. Martain raised three boats at cost of $1,O00, and March 19 Johnson brought suit of re- plevin to recover them, claiming they were his under the verbal agreement. Martin claims that Johnson was so slow that he considered the agreement all off. Judge Bishop of the city court issued the temporary injunction. There will be hearing on it in the common pleas court Friday.

SEY4TOR WHITLOCE INVOLTED

With His Daughters' Husbands-MOre
 Suits Against GarheId-supremeC Court
 DreistOn-cIty Court Cases.
 Senator sturges WhitIock of Shelton I is fighting his two sons-in-law, Alton T. Terrell of Derby and Walter Ran dall of Huntington for the control of the Gold Bluff Mining and Lumber Co.,, To- cated near Eureka. Cal, and of which former County Commissioner Hart D. Munson of this city is the manager.
 The Gold Bluff Mining and Lumber company is strictly a family affair as well as the TOW. The corporation was formed November 1, 1902, with capital of $120, 900, there being 1,200 shares of $10O each. Senator Whitlock claims to own $40 shares, all paid for, which would give him the control by 40 shares. Terrell and Randall each own 2S0 shares. The three persons are the off, cers end directors.
 Terrell, as secretary of the mining company, Senator Whitlock alleged, re- fused to issue the stock certificate to him for $40 shares and for that reason prevents the senator from voting at any meeting. In this way the sons-in-law could manage the company to suit themselves.
 Attorney P. W. Chase, acting for Sem ator Whitlock, procured an injunction last week from Judge Dow restraining any meeting of the directors until the certificate for $40 shares was delivered to the senator.
 It is understood that the certificate was issued to Senator Whitlock Satur- day, but the two opposing directors did things which were not pleasing to Whit lock.

"shah shuia,s Micc.y

l Some interest is being aroused in Madras at9 present by the exhibition of two dwarfs4 who are alleged to be over 50@years of age and are brother and sister. These beings are not only small, but distorted. It is believed that dwarfs are 'manufactured" in India. There is practice extant in iPunjab of elongating infants heads 60 as to render them out of all pro- portion to the body. The effect ot compression on the brain renders the victims idiotic. They are then sent arounds to beg, and in their peregrina. tions visit the Madras and Bombay presidencies. An instinct akin to that of an animal, however, still lives in the distorted beings and invariably brings them back to their masters. They are known as "Shah Shuia's mice," from the name of the temple where they are manufactured. The children it is stated, are vowed to the temple by. fanatical women.-London Express. ,-

Twelve Me0 Blown to Pieces I'm Pow
 der Explosion.
 NANAIMO, B. O., Jan. 15.--A terrific explosion occurred at the Hamilton Powder companys works, Departure Bay. George Simonetta, James Full. forte and ten Chinamen were killed Only one body, that of Chinaman was recovered. Others were absolutely blown to fragments. The gun, cotton storage 4house exploded first, the con cussionl exploding the geligmite in the drying house, 400 feet away, where ths great loss of life is supposed to have occurred. The ground was excavated to depthsof six feet where the build tngs stood. The buildings were blown into kindling wood and scattered with fragments of human flesh over several acres.
 The tramway was torn up and 8 length of steel rails twined spirally aroundf a tree like a. aawhiplash. James Preston, nitroglycerin maker, had a miraculous escape and owed his life to his coolness. He was running his ma chinery, 4,0o0 feet from the explosion, when it occurred and was thrown down. The window and a part of sthd wall were blown in, but he kept his machinery running'in spite of the, con- cussion, which almost stopped it, and never left his post, ,N thus preventing a third explosion.
 The works are three miles from sNa- naimo, and broken windows herestesti- fy to the tremendous force of the ex- plosion. The management states,that it is utterly impossible to assign cause. No witnesses survive.

HIS TRIUMPH.

He started in to study law,
 And got part of Blackstone read; Then, growing weary, gave it up:
 Twas too exacting, so he said. Ho thought he'd be doctor next,
 And gathered books with eager vim, But very soon decided that
 A doctors life was not for him. "rll be a preacher" he declared
 And guide men into righteous ways" But preaching seemed to lose it's charm
 Before he'd studied many days. fT'n write,' he proudly told his friends:
 ''I'H be Dickens or a Scott.'' He tried, but soon decided that
 All books were merely tommy-rot. He turned from writing to the brushs z
 Deciding to ennoble art. But gave up that sublime pursuit ], Before he'dafairly got start From farming he dfsgusted,, turned
 To be civil engineer: He studied archit ecturs and ' Oncethought he'd be a financier. He had good chances by the score,
 But failed at everything he tried. Because he didn't persevere,
 Because his passions quickly died- Yet there was one thing that he did '
 To show that patient efforts wins In coloring meerschaum pipe
 He held his course through thick and thin
