STRIKE OF THE
TUGBOAT MEN
is SETTLED.
Return TO Work Under Increase
Of $5 Per Month y Work on
Local Docks Picks Up.
THREE LOCAL TUGS RESUME.

The strike among the deck hands,
firemen, oilers and others on the tug
boats of the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad Company at Port Reading
and this city has been settled.
The men demanded a raise of $40
per month and, as far as can be learn
ed, have received an increase of SIS
month, and compromise agreed
upon. Four hundred men were af-
fected by the strike, ON about sixty
tug boats. The three boats which
run between this city, Boston and
New York, which were laid up re-
Gently on account of the strike, have
returned to their work and no more
trouble is anticipated.
Work on the local Lehigh Valley
coal docks Is picking up and both
docks are now in use. The men
work full days instead of two and
three hours a day, as during the
strike. A gang of men was at work
all day yesterday on dock A. Ship
ping work is steadily picking up.
Both A and B docks are at work to-
day. Work in the local stock grounds
continues brisk.
The tug boat men who struck on
the boats of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western and the Balti-
more &c Ohio, who returned to work
afterward, are also, the union says,
to get an advance of SIS month.
Business Agent Mclaughlin, of the
union, said yesterday that these
strikes affected about 400 men en-
ployed on about sixty boats. The un-
ion was in negotiation with the Erie
railroad regarding demands for high
er wages, he said, but he believed a
settlement would be reached without
a strike.

As a result of alleged carelessness
on the part of an engineer, nearly one
hundred people narrowly escaped be-
ing tossed to their death at the Cen
tral railroad station Saturday night.
The southbound train which leav-
es New York at S:45 o'clock and Is
due to arrive in this city at 9:40
O'Clock, was late and did not arrive
until nearly 10 o'clock. The engineer
stopped the train little below the
station and the numerous passengers
started to leave the train. They had
however no sooner left the cars and
were about to cross the northbound
track to the platform when the train
from South Amboy, due here at 9:57,
dashed by them and came to stand
still about 100 feet from Smith street.
A number of passengers were eros
sing the tracks from the depot to
board the south bound train at the
time, as well as the crowd that was
leaving the, train. A scene of ter
ror followed. Some jumped back
wards, others pressed close to the
cars of the waiting train, while 9th
ers seemed paralyzed with fear and
were only dragged out of the way
second before the north bound train
passed. Many others uttered screams
of fright and one woman tainted.
According to the story of an eye
witness, 1t is a miracle that no one
was injured, as fully twenty people
were less than fifty feet from the en-
CINE of the northbound train before
they discovered their danger.
Guy Weaver was one of the passen-
gers on the southbound train and was
crossing the tracks toward the depot,
when he saw the glare of headlight
only few feet away. He and II.
Ramsay Crowell made jump and
lust succeeded in leaving the tracks

MANY PASSENGERS IN
PERIL AT C. R. R. DEPOT
Large Crowd Was Almost Run Down
By Train From South AmbOy and
People Screamed in Terror.
FAILED TO STOP AT MARKET ST,

as the engine passed swiftly by. Mr..
Weaver and Mr.. Crowell declare that
there was no warning of the ap-
preaching train and regard their es-
cape as miraculous.
Threw Lantern at Engine.
Another witness of the occurrences
says that the baggage master of the
southbound train waved red lantern
when he saw the train coming, but
that the engineer disregarded It. It
is also said that when he found that
the train was about to pass him, he
threw the lantern into the cab.
In speaking of the occurrence this
morning, one of the crowd said that
after the engineer of the northbound
train stopped, he became angry NaIld
wanted to know what right the bag
gage master had to flag his train. IN
stead of being satisfied that no onA
had been killed, he seemed Offended.
and came down from his cab to argue
the matter.
Ticket Agent Howard White, when
seen by NEWS reporter, said that
he knew but little about the occur
renee as he was not in the station at
the time. Mr.. White agreed that the
engineer of the northbound train had
disobeyed orders and stated emphat-
ically that 1t was the rule that when
a train was stopped at a station. the
engineer of any approaching train
should stop at a safe distance from
the station and not pass while the
other train was discharging passen-
gers. Mr.. White says that the enei-
neer of the northbound train may
have thought that it was leaving the
depot at the time, and that 1t was not
necessary to stop at Market street.
AS yet no complaint has been made
to the company, but it is understood
that a number of those who had mar
row escapes intend taking some ac-
tion. South r. harrington was one
of the passengers on the southbound
train and also had narrow escape.

 Detectives Were Too
 Quick for Them.
S5oO0 IN BILLS GRABBED

Philadelphia, October 25.-One of the boldest attempts at robbery in this city in a long time occurred today when two men tried to get away with 5000 they had seized from a bank runner in the United States subtreasury. Both were arrested and all the money was recovered. The two men had been hanging around the subtreasury for several days and were being watched by private bank de- tectives and subtreasury watchmen.
 About Il o'clock this morning P. J. Cronin, runner for the Franklin Ma tional bank was handed several large bundles of money by a paying teller in the subtreasury. He placed $4O00 in a satchel and walked to a bench near by with the remainder, amounting to $500o in $10O bills. He laid the money on the bench, intending to open the satchel and place it with the other money. At the same moment one of the men being watched who was standing in front of one of the subtreasury watchmen, raised newspaper as if he was looking for something and obstructed the view of the watchman. Then the other grabbed the S5000 lying on the bench and started out the front door.
 The runner instantly gave chase, raising an alarm as he did so. The runner was close to the thief when the man who held the newspaper stuck out his foot and ripped him and tried to escape. He had only gone few feet. however, when the watchman captured him. Others in the subtreasury started after the man with the money. Getting safely out of the building the robber started west on Chest nut street wrapping the s5eoO in news n- lfn rpta Ifr tafo fvatt, t,f.1 on him and seeing that he could not get away he threw the money in a hole in the sidewalk in front of a building under construction. He was captured a half block from the subtreasuryI
