Threaten to Strike.


A Chicago dispatch says that train
men and conductors employed by the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail.
road have voted to strike unless the
road pays the increase In wages that
they have demanded.
National officers Of the Order Of
Railway Conductors and Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen are doing their
best to prevent q strike. The dispute
is over the new agreement presented
by the conductors and trainmen early
this year. This provided for an In
crease of 121s per cent in the wages
Of the men in the passenger service
and Is per cent for those in the freight
service. At the same time that the de
mands for increased wages were pre-
scented the road was asked to approve
of certain working rules.

The Steamer Belle Haven.

The old ferry steamer Belle Haven
recently purchased by J. Driefus u Co..
of this city, and subsequently sold to
parties in Baltimore, is said to be the
Oldest iron hull side-wheel steamer ahoat
and was among the first OF that material
having been built by HarIin q Holdings
worth at Wilmington, Del, 46 years
ago and named Pilot Boy. During
the civil war she was used as
transport by the federal forces be-
tween Old Point Comfort and adjacent
waters. When the Louise was purchased
from the York river line the Pilot Boy
was sold to the Washington and Alex
andria Steamboat Company, which had
her incased in wooden hull by w. E.
Woodall & Co., of Baltimore, and other
wise changed for ferry services be-
tween Alexandria and Washington.
At the same time her name
was changed to Belle Haven. A
resident of northeast Baltimore purchased
the round pilot house of the Pilot Boy
when changes caused it to be discarded
and he has it on top of his house as an
observatory. The new owner intends
to strip the steamer to the hull, which,
if found seryiceable, will be made into a
barge. The Belle Haven is l6l feet .
inches long, AZ feet 2 inches beam and
7 feet inches depth of hold. In her
prime she was very speedy.
