ANNUAL REPORT OF
 u. S. LIFE SAVING SERVICE. Millions of Dollars Worth of Property and Hundreds of Lives Saved.

Washington, Dec. 19-Aside from saving hundreds of lives and millions of dollars worth of property involved in marine disasters, the United States life saving service managed to render assistance to many unfortunate per sons in distress. The annual report of the superintendent of the service. MT. Kimball, shows that woman about to be hurled over bluff,' an intoxi- cated man about to fall off a dock, a man who had lost his way in a marsh, another who had broken through the ice, two others who had climbed 100 feet up the face of a cliff and were unable to descend, and still another who tried to commit suicide were saved by the vigilant guards.
 Five automobiles imperilled in marshes or quicksands were rescued.
 During the last fiscal year there were 1876 marine disasters. involving the lives of $500 persons, which called the life saving service into activity. Sev- enty-two vessels were totally lost. al- though only thirty people lost their lives in consequence.
 The total value of the property in- volved in these disasters was $16. 106, ,- 080, the value of property lost being $2, 2,295,3 3S0. Of the 1,376 vessels meet ing disaster, the life saving service rendered aid to 1,319, valued with their cargoes at $13.316,S15.
 Superintendent Kimball comments in his report upon the remarkable scope of the life saving operations by the use of power lifeboats.

sHIPWRECkED CREW
 IN BATTLE WITH ICE FEoEs
Their Vessel Had Been Burned Four
 Miles Off Shore.

Lorain, Ohio, Dec. 19.-The fishing tug Penelope of Cleveland burned this afternoon four miles off shore. The crew of three escaped after a battle with ice floes in the bitter cold which talmost cost them their lives. The boat. which belongs to A. H. Langell of Cleveland, was bound for her win ter quarters at St Clair. Mich. This afternoon Capt. Charles Inches dis covered fire in the woodwork above the engine room and in few moments his position and that of Engineer Per cy Upper and Fireman Jack McIver became untenable.
 The sides of the tug were in flames before they launched their boat. There had been no time to don extra clothing and the day was onue of the coldest of the winter. The men and their oars were crusted with ice be- fore they had gone a mile. Two miles off shore they encountered shore ice, too thin to bear their weight but thick enough to impede the progress of the boat. Through this they were compelled to break their way, stiffened by the penetrating wind and endan- gered every moment by the shifting ice.
 When they reached shore, five miles west of here, they collapsed. All were brought into Lorain, where they were given medical attention.

DEMAND WAGE INCREASE
 or FROM 5 TO 40 PER CENT.
Notices 10 Be Served on 75 Railroads
 All East of the Mississippi.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 19.-Notices will be served tomorrow on about seventy five railroad companies, all east of the Mississippi river. by the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen that an increase in wages will be demanded of from 5 per cent. to 40 per cent, the difference in the amount being caused by the present method of paying the train men, according to an announcefent made here tonight.
 w. G. Lee. national president of the brotherhood, who was in Pittsburg to- day, admitted that the notice will be served tomorrow, but refused to say what action, if any, will be taken in case the demand is refused. It is said the recent referendum vote of the trainmen regarding the demand for an increase resulted in a practically unan- imous vote in it's favor. About 75,000 members of the brotherhood are em- ployed on the railroads affected
 New York, Dec. 19.-The action of the Brotherhood of Railway Train men as announced in Pittsburg to- night, was not unexpected in New York. Knowing that the referendum vote was being taken, railroad heads were preparing to meet the situation and several conferences have been held in the city during the past two weeks. It is likely that committee repre- senting the employers 1iI be appoint ed at once to arbitrate the matter. In- volving, as it does, all the great lines in the east, 1t will be impossible to predict what course each road pur- sues. but it is probable they stand together on the broader issues at stake
