Steamboat Tie-up Ended

The tie.up of the steamboats, OF the
Baltimore, Chesapeake aud Atlantic and
the Maryland, Delaware and Virgins
lines. owned by the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, is at an end. AT a con-
ference last night, in Baltimore, after
General Manager Willard Thomson had
returned from Philadelphia the differences
between the captains and the steamboat
owners we're settled and the men, whose
designations had been handed in, all
went to work this morning. All OF the
boats on the Saturday schedule will sail
today. and the steamers will be SAINT out
ON the different routes on their regular
schedule as sailing days. The settlement
was made mainly on basis Of the de-
mands of the men, though it Was con-
coded last night that to q certain extent
a give .and-take policy marked the con-
fercnces held yesterday afternoon and
last night. No reference was made dur
ing the final conferences to Rescue Har-
Dor, No. IA, which, it is insisted by Cap
tain Thomson was the bar to 3 settle
ment during the past two weeks The
men appeared as a committee represent
ang themselves and the former employees
of the two companies, Manager Thom-
son has frequently said that he would
settle the question ofwages with the men,
but he was opposed to masters OF vessels
belonging to the same uaiou with the
men under them The result of the
fight has really hung upon recognition
of the union.

They we're arraigped in the dock Of Toe

William Miller was declared guilty OF
selling the narcotic and was fined $loo
or given 80 avs in Jail. The witnesses
were All colored and residents of what Is
known as the Petersburg" section OF
the CITY. The difficulty of obtaining
evidence was apparent from the begin
ming. as is always the case when this class
is before a court. Justice Cation, 10
summing up the case, referred to the
licen,iousness INDUCED in by the negro
element living in the neigbborhood, and
said that the police would be directed to
enforce the sagrant law strictly, and
when certain iDdolent people were
brought before the Police Court they
would not be fined, but given long terms
in jail. In order, therefore, to escape
,ucb punishment those liable to be ar
rested under the law should procure
honest employme nt or leave the city at
once.
