TRAIN HITS AUTOMOBILE.
Mr.. and Mrs. ssyer of Englewood, NJ
j., Instantly Killed.

Middletown, n. Y, June 16.-An
automobile occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Sayer of Englewood, N. j.,
and their two sons, was struck by an
Erie train near Goshen.
Mr. and Mrs. Sayer were instantly
killed and their sons were hurled
several feet, striking near the tracks.
They are not expected to survive their
injuries. The chauffeur saved his life
by jumping before the train struck
the automobile.
1t is stated by witnesses of the trag-
edy that several persons called to the
party not to attempt to cross, the
tracks ahead of the train. They de-
clare that Mr.. Sayer, however, ordered
the chauffeur to proceed.
Just as the automobile reached the
tracks the train appeared. The chauf-
feur attempted to turn the machine
from it's course, but before it had been
swerved sufficiently the train struck
it with terrific force. Mr. and Mrs.
Sayer were hurled under the train
and instantly killed. Their two sons
were picked up from beside the tracks.
They were brought to this city and
placed in hospital, where it is said
they probably will die.

CHICAGO TROUBLE.
BELIEVES OpPOR1UNE TIME AT HAND
MOVE SAID TO BE MADE ON SUG-
GEsTIoN FROM HIGH RAIL
ROAD OFFICIALS

Chicago, June 16.--While apparent
ly there was no surface change in the
strike during the day powerful agent
for peace was at work. Grand Master
J. G. Hanrahan of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen arrived in the
city and after conference with
Mayor Dunno announced that he
would use his good Offices to settle
ers who take kindly to Mr.. Hanrahan
think that he has had an intimation
from high railroad officials that it is
an opportune moment for the effort. A
possible indication that something in
the nature of an understanding exists
developed when W. P. Rend, team
owner, said he would deliver goods, to
the strikebound houses with nonunion
men and that his union drivers would
neither strike nor be locked out.
Chairman John V. Farwell, Jr., of
the Employers association declined
to consider tentative strike settle
ment proposition presented to him by
the state board of arbitration.
The proposition which the employ
ers declined to consider was an offer
that if the employers would agree to
use all honorable influence to have
police and deputy sheriffs and all
armed guards withdrawn Immediately
the strike would be declared off even
as to the express companies and that
orders to deliver anywhere would be
obeyed by the teamsters. The offer
had the approval of President Shea
and the national executive board of
the teamsters.

MAYOR OF PHILADELPHIA WINS.

UABLE FRANCHISES.
MEASURES PASSED OVER HIS VETO

WITHOUT A CENT OF PAY
MENT TO THE CITY.

Philadelphia, June 16. Another
blow was dealt at the Republican or
ganization during the day when the
street railways committee of the coun-
ellis referred back to that body with
recommendation for passage the bills
repeating the ordinance granting to
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit COM
pany franchises for 110 miles of
streets without payment to the city.
The ordinances granting the franchises
were passed over Mayor Weaver's
veto anti at his instigation the repeal
ers, were introduced.
The company made the claim that
the passage of the first bills gave the
corporation the right to the streets
and that the ordinances could not be
legally repealed. A stormy meeting
of the street railways committee was
held On Tuesday last and addresses
favoring the repealers were made by
clergymen and citizens, who protest
ed vigorously against giving away val
liable franchises. The committee was
unable to decide the legality of the
repeating ordinances and referred
them to City Solicitor Kinsey. His
opinion was TO the effect that councils
had full power to take back what they
had given and that the ordinances
were entirely legal.
The city solicitors opinion was read
at the days meeting OF the committee
and without argument the ordinances
were unanimously sent back to the
councils with the recommendation that
they be passed. Both branches of the
councils met later in the day and the
bills were received. Under the rules
of the councils an ordinance cannot
