The Tie-up of Steamers.

The oiHcisl investigation by the Mary
land Bureau of Statistics aud Iuforma-
ton into the causes leading up to the
tie-up of steamers took place yesterday
in The rooms of the bureau in The Equit-
able Bull ling jn Baltimore. Assistant
Chief Jacob Schopfsrber conducted the
Investigation apou the authority of Chief
Charles ] Fox.
But two steamers of the tied up lines
were able to move yesterday. The Tired
Avon went out to Claiborne and the
Ayalon to the Chap:ank with freight.
Capt. II. :. BohsnnOD, of the steamer
Calvert, said he was not a captain the
whole year, but declared he only got
$50 a month and his board on the ship.
He said he signed the petition because
be could not keep his family on his
salary.
Capt. NJ. w. Gourley, of the steamer
Middlesex, said Captain Thomas told
him he would not accept his resignation
or one from any of his officers, bat would
tie up The hoats if it cost $40, 900.
Capt. J. T. Smith, Of the steamer Nor
humberl and, and CAPITA. NJ. Long OF 1.-THE
steamer Potomac, declared they thought
they we're still employ IS oftAeir respective
companies. Capt Smith said he handed
the boats papers to Superintendent
Joynes, who told him to keep them. The
last captain to testify during the morning
session was Capt. w. G.. GeoghegaD, of
the steamer Anne Arundel, the highest
sslaried officer called. He received
1925 a month, He said he did not ask
for more money, because the request made
by the captains only equaled his salary.
There was no jealousy on his side, but
he had been in the association since its
formation and stuck to his comrades.
He had never heard any protest against
the association, except when Captain
Thomson, on Oct. l, declared it was be-
meath the dignity OF captain to belong
10 the same lodge AS his mate.

Strike of Machinists.

As was stated in the Gazette OF that
day all the mschinists and their apPTen-
,ices ia the Southern Rail way shops In
this city went out ON a strike at III
o'clock Yesterday The strike extends
tbroughou. the entire system, and as a
result at least $50 men are idle. The
machinjsts asked for an increase OF two
cents Ter hour and nine hour day.
The company at the time the demand
was made signifed its willingness to
grant an increase of cents an hour al
certain points on the road. The machin-
;sts refused to accept this, and on Sep
aember 26 a strike was ordered. but action
was deferred, with hope of settlement.
p, j. Colon, as acting president OF the
international Associstion, yesterday
morning ordered the men to lay down
their tools.
All the Southern Railway machinislS
at Atlanta. Selma, Ala, Birmingham,
Ala Knoxville, Tenn. Spartanburg,
Columbia aud Charleston, >. o., and
Spencer. n. O., went out upon reee'y-
ing te!egraphic orders to do so.
Discussing the strike Mr.. A. Stewart,
mech anicsl superinten of the South
ern Reiway, said yesterday ID Washing
ION.
.srhe basis of machinists' wages paid
br the Southern Railway Company Is
substantially standard in the South.
The fAachinists have argued that the
increase 10 the cost of living shown ny
Government statistics and by their own
experience juslihea them in expecting a
higher basis of wages, but it bss beeu
shown that during that period the COM
Dsny has increased the machinists' wages
IN about the same proportion. what
the machinists want now, on their own
statement is an opportunity to lay up
some money, or to have more money 10
spend. The management IS, OF course.
most anxious to have all classes of its
employees prosperous add is ready and
willing to make this possible when II
can be done in justice to sill classes alike
aud to the property. 1t has been shown
TO the machlnists that while the earnings
iron the property have constantly in,
creased in recent years, the expenses OF
operation have increased in greater pro-
portion, with the result that the company
is not now in better position to increase
wages generally than 1t has been at any
time within the last few years. At the
recent conference with the 'nschinists'
com mtiee the management has offered
20 increase wages 80 as to DO away with
inequalities in the wage scale wherever
uch inequalities have been found to
exist.
At meeting this morning of W, K.
Hearst Lodge, No $50, International
Association of Machinists, held in this
city this morning, the following resolu-
ZION was adopted
Resolved, That we, the International
Association of Mschinlsts, dc most siren
uously deny the statement that we have
been doing anything unbecoming gentle
men so far So doing damage to the
Southern Railway Company or to en-
danger the lie of employees.

DR. LYONS DECLINES
WILL NOT ACCEPT CALL OF PREs-

Louisville Pastor Expresses Apprecta- ton of Invitation Extended by HEontgomerfans, But Refuses
 Request of First Church.

Dr. I. s. Lyons, of Louisville. Ky. who was recently called by unanimous vote of the congregation to the pasto- rate of the First Presbyterian Cnurch of this city, has declined the call, 70 the regret of the congregation ana me friends of the church.
 It will be remembered that. In the early spring, Dr. Lyons. pastor or the First Presbyterian Church Of Louis yfIfe. came to Montgomery and con- ducted a ten days series Of services at the First Presbyterian Church Tn this place. At that time he so im- pressed the congregation. both as nreacher and as a man. that after the death of Dr. c. ". Patterson, they ten- aered him the passionate.
 Committee, composed of officials of the church. went to Louisville ana attended services at the church or which Dr. Lyons is pastor, and after wards visited him in his home. The call was sent to him at Louisville. ana, before answering, as Is customary, m the Presbyterian Church, Dr. Lyons visited Montgomery and two weeks ago conducted services here
 Yesterday a letter was received from him by J. w. Durr, Jr., member or the Committee elected to attend the cali of pastor. in which, with many kindly expressions for the First Chufcn ana TOT H&uht&ObACASs 1S " clined the call.
 The refusal of the call by Dr. Lyons leaves the situation in regard to the pastorate as it was before the call was extended, and in all probability, the Committee in charge of the matter will immediately take new steps 10 secure pastor.
 In his letter to Mr. Durr. Dr. Lyons said;
 s"The agreeable impressions received on my visit to Montgomery last spring have been greatly strengthened by my recent visit. consider the First Church at Montgomery one of the most attractive within the bounds of our Assem tIy, and am convinced that the local and larger opportunities which it affords are sufficient to fully engage the best powers which any minister can possess.
 notwithstanding these facts, and others which draw me in the same di- rection. I must recognize that my in- clination to accept the call which you have presented me is not marked by the conviction of duty, which in my judgment should be pronounced in such a case. In declining your call. permit me to express my grateful apprecia- tion of the generous terms and atfec- donate spirit which characterized the call and the resolutions of the Com mittee."
