FERRY LINES TIED UP
Strike of Firemen Lays Up Eighteen
 Brooklyn Boats.

New York, Sept. 19.-Sixty four fire men employed by the New York and Brooklyn Ferry company struck at noon to-day and tied up seven ferry lines running from berths in Manhattan to Broadway and Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Eighteen boats were made idle
 While much inconvenience was caus- ed the usual afternoon traffic the se- rious effect of the strike was felt in the evening rush hours when thousands of people tlocked to the ferry slips eX- pecting their usual transportation. When the crowds learned that no boats were moving there was a stampede for the Williamsburg bridge and Long Isl and railroad ferries. It was stated that more people crossed the two bridges from Manhattan to Brooklyn during the rush hours tonight than ever before in the same period.
 The men demand an increase from $14.3S week to $75 per month. The su- perintendent of the ferry company Captain William Stoney, says there is no prospect of an immediate resumption of service as he cannot treat with the men in the absence of the executives of the company, who are out of town.
 President Healy of the International Brotherhood of Eccentric Bremen said tonight that the strike was ill advised, and had not been approved.

SCOTCH EXPRESS WRECKED.
Loss of Life Placed at Ten on Great
 Northern Train.

London, Sept. 2o,--The crowded Scotch express train on the Great Nor thern railway, leaving London last night, was wrecked outside of Gran than at midnight. The train should have stopped at Grantham, but failed to do so Shortly after passing the sta- tion the train left the rails and jumped a bridge. The engine and several coaches were dashed over the embank- ment, the engine turning turtle. seve- ral coaches immediately took fire.
 There are many passengers beneath the debris. Of ten extricated, five have died. Many were injured.
 At last accounts the coaches were still blazing and the fire brigade had been called out. The dead and injured have not yet been identified
 At the spot where the express. was derailed there is a sharp curve and 1t is supposed the brakes failed to act. The train appears to have gone upon a siding, smashing the parapet of the bridge, which was completely shattered.
 At five o'clock this morning it was officially stated that ten persons had been killed and sixteen injured. A dispatch from Grantham stated that the fire was well under control,

Several Nominees on Mutual Life Flu
 sion Ticket Object.

New York, Sept. 19.-Protests against the unauthorized use of their names from several nominees on the selected fusion ticket" for trustees of the Mutual Life Insurance company, were made public here to-day.
 Mayor J. N. Adam, of Buffalo, origin ally nominated on the United t5om- mittee ticket wired Judge Alton B. Parker, chairman of the executive com mittee of the international policyhold- CTS committee that the use of his name on the fusion ticket was against his wishes. A similar message from James D. Phelan, former mayor of San Fran cisco was received at the headquarters of the international polieyholders com mittee William L. Guillaideu of this city wrote the committee to the same effect.
 Replying to notifications that their names had been placed on the third ticket" president Charles A. Peabody, second vice-president George T. Dexter and superintendent of foreign agencies Henry B. Duncan, of the Mutual Life addressed Albert s. Bard, counsel for the promoters of the fusion ticket to- day. MT. Peabody said that the ques- ton of his acceptance must depand on the charter and purpose of those who brought about his nomination. When advised as to the personality and puf- pose of the movers he would reply as to his acceptance. The two other officers of the Mutual stated that the bylaws of the Mutual Life would prevent the serving if elected trustees.

EIGHT HOUR LAW FOR
 ALL GOVERNMENT WORK
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ISSUES ORDER LXFENDIA c APPLICA-

 Report Every Case Where Overtime is
 Required or Permitted--COmmis
 CT of Labor NeiII Says Contractors
 Attitude Toward Statue is Changing.
 Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept 19.-Presl- dent Roosevelt to-day extended the eight-hour law to apply to all public work under the supervision of any de- partment of the government. This or der affects more particularly work on river and harbor improvements.
 Charles F. Neill, commissioner of la bor, who at the direction of the presi- dent has had charge since last winter of the enforcement of the eight t-hour law, has sent to the president a re- port, of which the following is the con- cluding paragraph.
 T might add here that I found one very noticeable effect has already been produced in this matter of the eight hour law. Contractors fully realize now thatthe law is going to be enforced with eagerness, and they no longer dis miss it as, a matter of no consequence. They probably like the law less than ever, buttheir attitude none the less is changing into one of becoming respect for the statute"
 To carry out Commissioner NeilPs recommendations the president has to- day signed the following execptive or der:
 n. All departments of the govern ment under the supervision of which public works are being constructed are hereby directed to notify the represen- tatives stationed at such public works, to report at once to their respective departments all cases in which con- tractors or sub-contractors on works now under construction have required or permitted laborers or mechanics in their employ to work over eight hours in any one calendar day.
 "2, All government representatives in charge of construction of public works are further directed that it is part of their duty to report to their respective departments each and every case in which laborers or mechanics are re- I quired or permitted to work over eight hours a day on the works under s,l7 pervision of such government represen- tatives. Wherever reports showing work in excess of eight hours day are received. by any department they are to be referred to the department of jus tice for appropriate action.
 'S. All departments of the govern- ment under the supervision of which public works are being constructed by contract are further directed to have their respective legal officers prepare and forward to the president Hist of such statutes and executive orders as have direct bearing on the contracts for the construction of public works, and with which bidders on such works should be made acquainted"
