MAY TIE UP
CITY FERRY.
Captains and Engineers on Stat
en- Island Line Fear Acting May
or Will Veto Salary Bill.

NEW YORK, July 19:-Trouble is
brewing for Staten Island residents
if Acting Mayor MCGOWAN vetoes the
recently adopted ordinance increas-
ing the pay of captains and engineers
on the municipal ferry line, for the
men intimate that they will strike
and tie up the ferry If their demands
are ignored. The acting mayor has
declined to express his attitude to-
ward the bill, which will become q
law tomorrow if he neglects to take
action.
Ever since the five boats have been
running the captains and engineers
have insisted that their pay was in
sufficient. The captains, who receive
$137.50 a month, contend that cap
tains Of sound steamboats, of 1000
tons receive $3.50 a month and their
board and lodging, while the cap
tains of the Sandy Hook boats re-
ceive $16S a month, with meals.
The ferry captains demand $4,000 a.
year.
When the matter was before the.
Board of Estimate and. Apportion-,
ment and the Board of Aldermen
both bodies agreed with the men,
and an ordinance was passed by the
aldermen granting the increase. The
engineers demand $1,650 and $500
a year, according to the length of
service. When the ordinance was
passed the fifteen captains and fifteen
engineers thought their pay would be
at once increased. Their disappoint-
menf over the delay isasore and the
attitude of the acting mayor still fur
Their distuTbs them. A delegation of
the men applied to the dock commits
sioner yesterday for an assurance
that the ordinance would go into eff
feet. The commissioner caused his
deputy to ask Mr.. MCGOWAN for an
expression of opinion as to the mer-
its of the bill,
Much to the chagrin of the men,
the acting mayor declined to discuss
it or to intimate what his action
would be. Today is the last day left
for his elaboration, for under the
law it will go into effect on the tenth
day, tomorrow. The men are dis
posed to take a gloomy view of the
situation and intimate that Staten
Island residents have an unpleasant
experience.

[. v. OPERATOR
FIGHTS A BULL
Was Taking a Short Cut Across
Field at Night When He
Was Attacked.

BOUND BROOK, July 19:-Thom-
as Pagan, telegraph operator at the
Lehigh Valley railroad signal tower,
near Hillsboro, had an exciting ex-
perience with a bun Tuesday night.
Pagan works IN eight-hour shift
at the signal tower and is usually
through his work at II o'clock at
night. His home is near Somerville
and as a storm was approaching he
took a short cut across a field with
his bicycle. In doing so he fell over
a COW. He resumed his journey and
when he had gone but a short dis
lance he heard a bullnbellowing.
1t was very dark and he decided to
light the lamp on his wheel. He had
no sooner done this and started
across the field than he heard the
bull close behind him. For a few
moments he was almost paralyzed
with fright. Suddenly an idea came
to his mind and he snatched the lamp
from the wheel, throwing the ma
chine in the grass. With the lamp
in his hand he made a dash for the
fence, three hundred yards away.
The bull, a Holstein, proved to be
the speedier, however, and as Pagan
feallbeu ne coulu ~ reach the renee,
he turned suddenly around, and fac
ing the bull, turned the rays of the,
carbide gas lamp directly in the ami
mails eyes. The bright light blinded
the bull, and it turned its head to
escape the piercing glare. Pagan
walked a short distance backward,
then covered the face of the lamp,
and at every attempt the bull made
to run him down he suddenly flashed
the light in the animals eyes.
In this way he was able to reach
the next field, leaving the bull at the
fence roaring and tearing up the
earth with his hoofs.
