SUCCESSFUL
FISHING PARTY
A PARTY Oh TIN BRAVE WIND
AND WAVE IN SEARCH OF
SPORT.

On account OF the hard blow sun
day night and. yesterday morning q
large number OF tender hearts de.
cided not to risk the waves on a
trip to Fort Dade and Egmont yes
terday. though many OF them had
launches engaged for the days Ash.
Nevertheless jolly and brave
party of ten who had chartered one
of the large and we'll appointed
launches left the dock here prompt
ly at $3.50 a. m. for Egmont Key.
They arrived safely and returned
home safely: spent the day fishing.
and their catch was most magulfl-
cent. So successful were they we
take much pleasure In giving the
names and residence and number OF
Ash caught by each member OF the
party: II. T. Phillips. OF Detroit,
Mich. Is mackerel; w. II. Will
liams, of Detroit. 30 mackerel: !:
Charles Egbert. of Auburn, n. Y,
2S mackerel; w. III. Thomas. Of
Blueheld, w. Va. 43 mackerel. sew
en- speckled trout and one grouper:
G. l.. Patterson, Rochester. n. Y.
90 mackerel Henry Llverman and
A. Il. Shulafer, OF Atlanta, Ca. IA
mackerel each; A. s. Wright. 10
mackerel: M. III. Lauman. of Lo-
rain. o., 81 mackerel: John A.
Hamilton. OF Steubenville, o., 22
mackerel.
Mr.. Bgbert caught the largest
mackerel, which weighed four and
one-half pounds. Mr. Thomas caught
two weighing four pounds each and
one grouper Weighing nineteen and
one-half pounds. Mr.. Williams
caught grouper weighing twenty
four pounds and hung shark which
broke his line.
The catch would average about
two pounds to the fish. Altogether
these gentlemen had fine days
sport and were probably the most
successful OF any party who has yeS
made "trip to the Gulf Pass or Eg-
mont.

men At SHOPS
GET FULL TIME
ORDER To THIS EFFECT COM
ING FROM GENERAL MANA
GER OF n. n w. HAS BEEN
PosTED-BUT SHOPS WILL.
BE RUN WITH A MINIMUM
FORCE.

Roanoke. Va, March 3i.--Al-
though the employees of the road
fear a Wholesale discharge of men
in the shops upon April L. yet
those men who will be continued in
the employ OF the Norfolk & West
ern shops will be given full time
after tomorrow. working forty-iive
hours a week.
This will mean eight hours for
the first five days OF the week and
five hours on Saturday for these
employees, or simply return to the
old full time" weeks for all men
retained by the company.
Posted in the various depart
ments OF the shops yesterday were
copies OF a bulletin, issued from the
office OF General Manager Maher. in
which the hours of work were given.
The bulletin futher stated that the
shops would be operated after April
1st with as small number of men
as possible. There are about 1000
employed there now.
II have watched the progress OF
events recently with greatest inter-
est. fear that other men fear.
too that the road means to cut OF
large number OF men when this
order is carried into effect.
This is the construction the men
put upon that part OF the bulletin
stating that the shops will operate
with the smallest number OF men
possible
IL is said. too. and the informa-
tion seems to come from a reliable
source, that In the operating force
big cuts will be made within -.
next week or two. Many men viii
be discharged, It is declared. and
the method of this discharge will
be along lines of seniority in SER
vice. the oldest employees being re-
tanned.
An effort was made to confirm or
receive denial OF the report Of the
alleged wholesale cuts from Chief
Clerk John f. Snyder, in the office
of General Manager Maher, yester-
day afternoon but Chief Clerk Sny-
der had nothing to say upon the
subject.
Announcement was made at the
Office OF the superintendent OF mo-
tive power that any information
relative to the matter should, in
the regular course of affairs, come
from the office of the general man
ager.

Under the ruling OF the national

the operators do not really desire

ENCE IL ON Al WASHINGTON

Huntington, w Va, March 81.
United States District Attorney FL
lott Northcott is In Washington to-
day attending meeting of the Re
publican leaders of the state who
are anxious that the different fac
tions that are at present killing ali
chances for the Republicans 10 win
unite on n candidate for governor.
At the conference are such mon
as Governor Dawson, Senators El-
kins and Scott District Attorneys
Northcott and Blizzard, Secretary of
state Swisher, A. c. Scherr, w. IT.
Hearn and Ex-Governor A. II.
White.
1T is understood that Scherr and
Hearn, both candidates for the gov
ernorship. are willing to withdraw
In case SwIsher will get out of tho
race, aud unite on any good candi-
date the majority of those at the
conference select.
Hunter H. Moss. OF Parkersbnrg.
IL said To be the one that the lead
ers of tho anti-Swisher clement Is
going TO put forward.
IL is known that both scherr and
Hearn arc willing to withdraw I'm
favor OF Moss Swsher was notl-
fed of the conference, and said he
would be there. but I'm plain Ian
guage stated he would withdraw
for no one, and in case he was not
the nominee IT would be because he
was defeated for the nomination I'm
convention
There was but one man I'm tho
state in whose favor he would with
draw and that was Elliott North
colt. Mr.. Northcott had refused to
become a candidate, and therefore
he would continue In the race.
As the anti-Swishcr faction was
extremely dosirous Of Mr. Northcott
being present at the meeting It Is
thought that strong effort will
be made to enlist aid in inducing
Swisbcr to withdraw.

April 3. while tho conventions Of
the Republicans will be held ON
April Z. The Republican state con.
vention will he held April II in
Carnegie hall and the Democratic
state convention on April "a at the
same place. The state convention OF
Hearsts party. the independence
League, will be held here on May ..
Greatest interest in today's pri-
marics centers in the attcmpt ex-
Governor odell has been making In
this city TO wrest the control OF the
local Republican organization from
Herbert Parsons. Followers OF
Parsons are attempting TO rally lo-
cal leaders against the intrusion of
the Newburg politician. with pros
poets OF success. Efforts to elect
true Hughes delegates at the pri-
maries in the Twenty-nlnth assem-
bly, district have precipltated bit
ter fight between the Hammond
Parsons faction and the men who
want the delegates To he for Hughes
from start to finish.
All is apparently peaceful In the
Democratic camp, with Tammany In
fun control OF the situation. Leader
Murphy has gone on record for an
uninstructed delegation to the Den
yer convention, and the delegates
selected in today's primaries Will
probably reflect this sentiment.
