NO "PENNSY"
STRIKE
Conference at Philadelphia Re-
suits in AmieabIy Adjust
ment
CONCESSIONS ARE MADE

| PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23d.-After con-
ference of less than an hours duration to-
day between General Manager Atterbury
OF the Pennsylvania railroad and Grand
Master Morrissey, Vice-Grand Master
Lee and the board of adjustment of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, Mr..
Morrissey announced that the differ
ences between the company and the men
have been amicably settled.
The following joint statement was is
sued by Mr.. Atterbury and Mr.. Morris
sey;
"Mr. Atterbury has accepted Mr.. Nor
rissey's proposition on the Jersey City
situation increasing the wages of the
conductors and brakemen in the Jersey
City, Harsimus Cove, Greenville, Mead
ows, Newark and Waverly yards to the
standard rates Of New York harbor to-
gether with other working conditions.
"Mr. Morrissey has accepted Mr.. At
terbury's proposition of January 7th, as
ampliied by the results of the confer
ences of the last few days in regard to
brakemen assisting the fremen, both to
60 into effect as of January 1st, 1905.
"Mr. Atterbury will in auuitiun, take
and put into effect within reasonable
time such other measures of relief not
only to the brakemen, but also to the
firemen as have been discussed and Of
fered by Mr.. Atterbury and suggested by
the committee"
The concession granted by the COM
pany to the trainmen in the Jersey City
case means a considerable increase i'm
wages. In addition they will be paid
full days wages for overtime, whereas
heretofore they have been paid an hourly
rate for overtime. Under the new work
ing conditions day conductors will re-
ceive an increase OF $3.50 month, day t
brakemen $500 and night brakemen
$3.50. The men are also guaranteed pay
for minimum day of ten hours.
Rather than cause rupture of the
friendly relations existing between the
trainmen and the company the board of
adjustment decided to accept the COM
pusory firing order on Mr. Atterbury's
agreement to adopt measures of relief
practicable. Brakemen will be
asked to assist in firing locomotives at
such points only where, in the opinion of
The division uperintendents, such help is
absolutely necessary.
For this work the brakemen will be
paid firemen's rate of pay, and the time
hey are thus employed will be credited
o their seniority records, by which pro-
notions are made. The company will
place additional men at ash pits and water
anks to assist the brakemen.
Notice of the settlement of the differ
'nces was sent to the eighty-fve lodges of
he Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
o-night. The men affected are the
reight trainmen on the Pennsylvania
abroad lines east of Pittsburg and Erie.
They number about 5000 men.

SMALLER FEES
FOR LICENSES
M. E. Preachers Association
Will Ask That the Price
be Made ST
OBJECT OF THE MEASURE.

| Wilmington ministers have started in
to revoutionize the marriage license law
and incidentally to provide smooth sail
ing into the sea of matrimony. The first
step was taken at a meeting of the Will
mington Methodist Preachers Associa-
Monday, when committee was ap-
pointed to prepare bill asking the Legis-
lature for new marriage law, reducing
the license fee to one dollar.
According to a member of the associa.
ton, the object is to avoid clandestine
marriages on the part of young people
and to do away with the list of unhappy
and embarrassing questions which at
present the officiating minister is alleged
by law to ask and the contracting parties
are required to answer.
+ 1t seems that the marriage license fee
is higher in Delaware than in any of the
nelghboring states. For instance, the fee
in Maryland is one dollar, while in Della
ware us $3.50 or So, the latter being the
price asked by magistrates These are
issued without regard to conditions, say
the ministers, all that is necessary being
the money. The preachers want the
licenses to be issued by the county
authorities only and at the time of is-
snance would have answered the list of
questions now asked by the clergyman.
This proposed action has provoked
considerable comment and while it is ad-
mitted a probable good thing for the
young people of Delaware, it is argued
that the state may become more than
ever Gretna Green for couples not liv-
ing within its confines.
The committee appointed by the Meth
odist Preachers, Association is composed
of the Rev. ]. W. Easley, the Rev. A.
w. Lightboure. D. D.. of Wilmington and
the Rev. G. w. Prettyman OF New Castle.
This committee will confer with the en-
tire clergy of Wilmington and secure their
in having such law enacte d
by the present Legislature.

THE OLD YEAR
RENICE RADCLIFFE

RENICE RADCLIFFE
The old year lay in his burial shroud,
/ Ghostly and gaunt and grim;
While. the north wind strayed round hi
silent bier,
And chanted dirge for him.
Time had strewn Ger his pulseless heart
A wisp of autumn's sheaves;
And woven a wreath for his CHASTITY brow
From handful of withered leaves.
A chilling mist from frosty sky
Like pail DER the monarch spread,
And mournful shadows forever would
keep
Their vigils around the dead.
For moments space he lay in state,
While silente claimed her own,
Save mystic echoes mingled with
The wild winds ceaseless moan.,
While ages stayed their mighty course,
And hearts grew faint with sudden fear.
Times couriers stood to usher in
With pomp and show another year,
There were stifed sobs and tolling bell
In the hush of the midnight gloom
A clasp of hands, hope. prayer,
And they closed the door of his tomb.
