JERSEY Law IN DANGER.

cIared Unconstitutional.

United States Supreme Court which denies the
right Of a State to FIX the hours OF labor. as 1t
appeared in The Tribune OF this morning has at
tracted much attention here to-day The interest
in The Tribune article was caused by the fact that
the New-Jersey Legislature at its last session
passed bill in relation and regulating the hours
Of work in bakeries in this State. which is almost
identical with the passed BY the New-I IorS
legislature. The NeW-JerSey bill was known as
the Bakers act and Senate bill No. lao

regl1istiOn and condition of bakeries. and de-
dared that no enpIOye should work more than
sixty hours In any week nor more Ihdn Ken

From two long sessions at the Hotel Savoy

the Equitable Life Assurance Society who were
summoned to this city TO discuss the factional
strife in the society evolved five resolutions Of
various scope and intent OF these the most i'm
Dortant was one calling on the legislature to
pass an amendment to the charter of the
Equitable. forcibly making over the society
into a mutual concern III which all the directors
shall be policyholders' representatives. Just how
the legislature could annuI the stockholders in

OF the other resolutions, one expressed conf
dence In President Alexander and urged him to
continue his work for naturalization. Another
set forth the agents affection for Gage E. Tar

contracts. A third praised the Frick committee
and said its investigation surely would be thor

PROTEST AGAINST Kissing.
The mos. dramatic feature of the afternoons

STRIKE is ENDED
IN ST. PETERSBURG
MOST OF THE FACTORIES AND
MILLS WERE IN OPERA
TON YESTERDAY.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 30.-Most Of
the factories and mills of st. Peters
burg are in operation to-day, and the
strike, to all intents and purposes, is
ended. A few large establishments
have not yet fully resumed operations
owing to the official fo:malities neces-
sary in registering their thousands
of employees. Some of the wOrkmen
at the Putiloff works, where the
strike originated, have asked for the
celebration of a religious service by
the metropolitan of St. Petersburg
before resuming work, so as to re-
move the effect of the presence of
the unfrocked priest and eXcommuni-
Gated leader" Father GopOn Some
social democrats are protesting the
arrests of Friday and Saturday on the
ground that the action taken was a
violation of the implied promise in the
proclamation of the authorities.
The manufacturers association will
meet this week to decide the question
of paying the wages of the strikers
for the time the latter were not at
work. but as a number of the works
have already paid their unskilled Ia
borers,. whose pay day was January
2S, half or full time, the rest Of the
employers will probably decide to pay
their workmen at least part of their
wages for the time they were ON

BAD WRECK
ON LOG ROAD
THREE men PERHAPS FATALLY
INJURED SUNDAY AFTER
NOON NEAR CENTURY.

4 w:e X, which may result in the
death OF three mel, occurred Sunday
at a late hour on the log road OF the
Alger-Sull,van Lumber Co. The wreck
occurred at a point known as FelZ-
mere, about thiIty miles from Ceu-
tIry, where one OF the engines had
stopped. to get water.
The men injured are Mr.. Brown,
lGbOrcT, WHO is not eXpe cted to sur
vive twe1ty-souT hours, as his skull is
broken; Joe White and Mr.. Stacey.
The injuries OF the latter are not
as serious as those Of Brown. All Of
the men were taken back 10 Century
where they received medical treat
ment.
According to information obtained
it is the custom for all of the mel
in the various logging camps of the
company to spend Sunday in Century,
leaving there at 6 o'clock in the after
noon for the camps, some of which
are located forty or fifty niles distant.
Sunday afternoon was not an eXcep-
tion and the two trains bearing the
men left Century within a short time
of one another. The first engine stop
ped around a curve at a watering
tank. nearly thirty miles from Cen
fury, to take on water. The engineer
of the train following was not aware
of this fact and ran into the rear
Of the first train ct almost full speed,
injurirg the three men.
The engine and cars of the trains
were badly damaged. All Of the in
jured men reside in Century, where
they have families. and all were in
the employ of the company.

CREW OF THE.
MASSA GNECCO
NOW AT THIS PORT, AND THE
CAPTAIN AND MATE WILL
LEAVE FOR ITALY.


The crew of the Italian bark Mas
sa de Gnecco, bound from Pensacola
TO South America, which was wrecked
several weeks since during a hurri-
cane, near Miami, are now in this
port, and are being cared for by Vice
Consul G. B. Cafero.
The captain and first mate will
probably leave to-day or tomorrow for
Italy, going by way of New York. The
members of the crew, of which there
are eight or ten, will sail on vessels
going out from this port for Italy. It
is more than probable that several of
these will ship on vessels bound for
that country and thus work their pas
sage across.
The cargo of the Massa de Gnecco
has been sold at auction by the Brit
ish Vice-Consul of Jacksonville. under
the direction of Italian Vice-Consul
Cafiero at this port.
