One of the well-known travelling men
who comes to the city. and a young
gentleman friend whom he invited to
take a ride to Weeks Mills with him
the other afternoon had one of the the
livcliest experiences of their lives and
(which though brief. will probably last
them a long while before they desire to
take another. The two had stable
team and started for their destination
by way Of the North Belfast road. Tho
horse was a steady one in ordinary
cases, but when he encountered road
roller which was working on that road
he had an attack of nerves.. and
tried to climb the terraces in front of
one of the residences along the way.
with the result that the travelling man,
who was driving, was transferred -
the gutter with more speed than
gracefulneSs. and his friend in tenn
porary fit of loneliness soon followed
suit. The horse then got away. and
after Skirting the fields near the quar-
ry, took to the woods and finally
brought up between two trees where he
stopped, as he could go no farther. The
two men hunted him up and found that
in spite of the wild run he had made
that not even a strap was broken. II
took some time to get him back upon
ne highway. but they did so and the
Journey was resumed. On the way
back they met several people who had
seen the runaway and who asked
them what had become Of the men in
the team, but neither of them gave the
matter away. and 1t is probable that
Inc good PEOPLE of that section are Won
dering yet.

gether with studies in committee
work, and in its relation to the de
nomination. Many good social hours
and opportunities were enjoyed, and
.inSpiring music and stirring songs
were rendered in each session. Among
the resolutions adopted was one pc
titioning the Five Years Meeting to
make Christian EndeavOr a depart

Immediately following the sessions
of the Christian Endeavor Union the
Friends Bible Institute began it's
work. This was the tenth annual SEES
sion and had been formerly held at
Earlham College, but adjourned last
year to Wilmington, Ohio, with the
thought of going next year to some
point in Western Yearly Meeting. The
Institute is managed by a committee
of fifteen persons appointed by Indi-
| ana, Western and Wilmington Yearly
Meetings.
The attendance this year from Indi-
ana and Western Yearly Meetings
was not as large as seemed desirable.
| but the local attendance was good.
Three hundred people were frequently
| listening to the lectures. and at some
sessions five hundred were present.

Several Hundred Deckhands,
Oilers and Firemen Quit
In New York.
BUSINESS is TIED UP
TONS OF PERIsRAsLE GOODS ARE
ENDANGERED BY THE STRIKE
FREIGHT TRAFFIC TO JERSEY
CITY SUSPENDED.
Publishers Press1

New York, Aus. ga strike Of
several hundred men as deckhands,
oilers and firemen on railroad tug
boats in this harbor badly tied
up the railroad tugboat feet.
This in turn prevented the move
ment of large amount of
freight from the railroad terminals in
Jersey City to this city. Should the
strike be prolonged, It is expected
that hundreds OF. carloads of food sup
plies for this city will be tied up, as
a large percentage of it is lightered
to the city and the railroad tugs do
the towing
1t was estimated that not more
than one-third Of the freight arriving
at the railroad terminals was novel
across the harbOr during the day and
that many carloads OF perishable
fruits and vegetables were stalled at
least temporarily in Jersey City, Stat
en- island and at Port Morrison across
the Last river. In consequence, the
local markets were short Of supplies.

Railroad of New Jersey was tied up.
but it was able to deliver its perish
able freight after some delay.
The Baltimore and Ohio floats
which usually bring the freight from
Staten island, were tied up at the
docks. The New York Central kept
only eight of its 20 tugs in operation.
Officers of the company endeavOred
to secure the assistance of private
towing companies, but their men re-
fused to help move the floats. The
Erie railroad had some tugs in use
and the marine service of the Lacka
wanna road was partly stopped.
Railroad freight agents said that il
the strike continued. the effect would
soon become serious, not only for
New Workers, but would prevent the
interchange of freight between roads
Officials of the Central Railroad OF
New Jersey offered to pay the strik
ers an increase Of S. a month. This
was not accepted, as the mates are
demanding $40. Railroad officials and
strike leaders met in conference in an
effort to reach a settlement of thei1
differences.
