Boston, July 8.A fire, believed to

combustion or locomotive spark,
and famed by a brisk northwest
wind, swept nearly a quarter OF a

Cnnard line, but later she was found
all right. n
Within half an hour of the time the

In order that the distributing of the

low in force in the railway offices.
Here the distributing clerks are re-

this manner they are made to keep UP
their local geography SO that they will
Je the most useful in distributing the

The city distributor will be given
examinations on the various districts

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 29.-Although
Judge Taft has denied that he ever
said a dollar a day was enough for a

discovered by a representative OF the
democratic national committee, VINO
examined his judicial decisions and IN
junction DEGREES. that he is on record
in q decision from the bench, not only
as recommending but actually order
ing a reduction in the wages of rail-
way employees practically to one dollar
day. He actually did order cut Oh
10 per cent in the wages of employees
receiving over s35 Per month and those
receiving over $1.10 a day. Thus, oy
Judge Tafts decision, a man receiving
Sill a day would be reduced practl-
cally TO 81 day. The decision was
rendered by Judge Taft in the case OF
Thomas VS.. Cincinnati, New Orleans
and Texas Pacific railway, circuit
court, southern distric of Ohio, w. d.,
April 80. 1894, and is to be found In
Fed Rep. v. 62, p 669. The action was

wages. His decision was made without

1.-The most noteworthy feature of the closing days of

success which has suddenly seized the country The first
effect has been to provide the republican campaign
ayers with money than they dreamed of getting The
second effect has been to get considerable part of the
business interests actively against Bryan

THEM. AND MAY RETIRE FROM
HIS EMPLOYMENT. They have
no standing in this court, to call for
an adjudication of any rights"
Further on in his decision Judge
Taft held in effect that the preserva-
ton of the property and its admins
tration in the interests of those who
owned it was entitled to first consid-
Grafton He then went on to say that
the receiver had consulted with the
court before making the reduction. and
that "the court must presume that the
order was well made"
Later the employees appeared in
court and presented a petition pray
ing that the court direct the receiver
to modify this wage reduction, but
Judge Taft rendered an opinion deny
ing the petition. In effect he held
that an order making a change in pay
ment for overtime which operated to
reduce wages was not unreasonable,
and also that the payment of interest
on bonds must be considered before
the matter of wages.
Thus Judge Taft first counseled
reduction of wages to what was prac-
tically a dollar a day, and then issued
an order approving such reduction,
refused to grant a petition for modi-
fication of overtime changes reducing
wages. and held in substance that
property rights were superior to hu-
man rights His second decision is
found in the Fed. Rep, V. 81, PIP. 21-
