CARS TO BE
RUN INSIDE
OF 2 WEEKS

glance at the progress on the new
line of the Jersey Central Ttaction Com
pany between this city and South Am
boy, seems to bear out the statement
made by officials on the line this morn
ing, that cars would be running within
two weeks. A NEWS reporter visited
the scene of activity this morning and
found that tracks have been laid and
poles erected from the South Amboy end
Of the Raritan River bridge to the
southerly end Of the cantilever span.
Arms have been suspended from the
poles and the requisite copper feed
wire is being hung today.
With the laying of about fifty feet
of track at the northerly end Of the
draw, the line will be practically COM
plete. The erection of poles and wires
from the draw northward can be done
hurriedly. Large forces Of men are
working on Sheridan street and Market
street, getting the rails in place. ~
Numerous workmen are likewise
working on the cantilever span boiling
the rails in place. This is tedious work,
as iron supports have to be bolted fast
underneath the rails, In order to suf-
iciently strengthen the spans to carry
the cars. A track has been laid across
the draw and the work there is finished.
Brackets to support the overhead troll
ley wire are being elamped fast on the
draw and cantilever span today The
rails at both ends of the draw have
been so finished as to permit smooth
connections. The rails have widene ed
spurs at both ends of the draw and
the wires are to be hung in such a
manner as to permit the turning of the
draw and yet make the running Of the
trolley pole over them free and easy
Poles to support the overhead wires
along the bridge proper, have been erec-
ted between the trolley trestle and
the bridge. When looking southwark
from the draw or northward from
the southerly end of the bridge, the
STRUCTURE appears much longer than
formerly. ~ 9ifs' q4ffs III n brought

road Company, as three wrecks oc-
Cured on the road. AS told in
the NEWS yesterday there

occurred on the North Shore divis-
ion. The latter wreck did not
amount to much and no one was in
jured
After being blocked for nearly
eight hours after the wreck Of the
express at Woods coal yard, be-
tween Nance and Bay View avenue,
Prince Bay, yesterday, the track was
cleared shortly before o'clock in
the afternoon and trains began run
ming on regular schedule again. The
large wrecking crane of the B. & o.
railroad that was rushed to the
scene of the accident, put both Of
the derailed coaches on the track,
and the tender of the locomotive was
lifted out Of the pile of coal at the
bottom of the embankment where it
went down.
The forward part of the engine
was lifted back on the track late
last night and taken to siding at
Pleasant Plains. The engine Is bad
ly damaged. 1t will be taken to the
railroad shops at Clifton today.
Engineer Alfred Larkins, of Elliot
avenue, Tottenville; Conductor
John H. Sullivan, of Broadway, Tot
tenville; Fireman Wesley Wood, of
Great Kills, together with the sew
eral passengers who were injured in
the wreck, were reported this morn
ing to be getting along all right. Ac-
cording to reports, no one was Sc
riously hurt, but nearly every one of
the 200 or more passengers were
badly shaken up and received a
scare that they will remember for
some time.
+ Second Accident.
In the second accident that oc-
Cured between Dongan Hills and
Grasmere, Engineer William Smith
of engine No. "a, that struck a
work train, is confined to his home
in Main street, Tottenville with a
badly sprained ankle, which he re-
ceived when he jumped from the cab
after 1t knocked one of the dirt cars
off the track. Although suffering
much pain, Mr. Smith ran two
trips from St George to the Prince
Bay wreck and return
AS proof that the day was un-
lucky, the trainmen declare that one
of the wrecked cars was numbered
113, the day of the month was the
thirteenth and 1t was close to thir-
teen minutes to A. M when the
express was wrecked
1t is understood that members of
the Public Service Commission
were at the scene OF the wreck yes
terday afternoon. Just what were
their findings of how the accident
happened, could not be ascertained.
1t is expected that a thorough in
vestigatlon in the matter will be
made both by the commission and
the officials of the company.

WITH P. R. R.
PROGRESSING
Belief This Afternoon is That
Agreement Will be Reach
ed Without Strike.
MEN By BIG MAJORITY
FAVOR DEMANDS

Philadelphia, July 14-FollowinR
this mornings conference between
the committees representing the
trainmen and conductors of the
Pennsylvania railroad and General
Manager Myers. the union officials
declared they were well satisfied
with the result. A subcommittee
of twelve resumed the conference
with Mr.. Myers this afternoon. 1t
is expected this subcommittee will
work out plan for settlement.
More than 1900 employees of the
lines east of Pittsburg have voted In
favor Of a strike If the company re-
fuses the demand for shorter hours
without a reduction of pay
Similar action was taken by em.
ployes on the lines west of Pittsburg.
When the count of the vote was cons
pleted the union leaders went to Cen
raj Manager Myers, told him the re-
suit and restated their demands.
He stood pat" on the question Of
applying the present pay for eleven
hours to day of ten hours, the prin-
cipal demand of the men. At the re-
quest of the union leaders that he cons
slider the matter and meet them today
to make them proposition, Mr.. Myers
arranged such meeting, but made no
promise Of a proposition, 1t was hint
ed that he will propose arbitration.
rA, ftrA 20 .4.1 Ezr. A
Garretson, president of the Order of
Railway Conductors, and w. G. Lee,
president Of the Brotherhood of Hail-
road Trainmen, showed a total of
14,194 votes cast, with 1871 in favor
of a strike.
Separating the two organizations In
volved, the vote was: Conductors,
1853 yeas. AS nays; trainmen, 1o,94J
yeas, 965 nays.
The principal demand Of the union
| leaders on which the ballot was taken
| is for a standard day of ten hours, as
Fart rSsny the employees of the New York
Central ranssaad by the arbitrators In
their wage dispuFe. Blt tratnnsn and
conductors on the Penn
get more than are paid injC
lar positions on other lines working
eleven hours a day. This is admitted
by the union leaders They want the
ten hour day, but ask for the same
amount of pay as they receive now
for eleven. In answer to the company's
statement that this practically amounts
to penalizing it for treating its men
better In the past than other roads
have done, the union leaders say that
the company has educated its men to
feel that they are worth more than Is
paid on other lines and that the pres
ent rate of pay should continue for
this reason.
In answer to the reiteration Of the
demands of the men by President Car
retson at the conference. General Man
ager Myers said that the present COZ.
ditions OF business will not warran
the company paying any increase J
wages. He said that the company Is
willing to meet the conditions that ex-
ist on other roads If 1t does not entaE
any increase in expenditures.

They Have Taken the Course
Requiring the Least Intel
lectual Effort
TARIFF Law ACCOMPLISHED
JUST WHAT THEY DEMANDED
Wanted Reduction on Necessaries and
q Bill That Would Raise Revenue
Payne.Aldrich Bill Analysed and
Compared With Others.

Holton, Kan, July 29.-Represen-
tative H. P. Campbell of the Third
Kansas district, q "standpatter" In a
speech here last night proclaimed the
insurgents to be iconoclasts who have
taken the course, that has required
the least intellectual effort-denuncia-
tion."
"The president and the majority of
the Republicans of the house and SEN
ate agreed upon tariff law. These
men opposed it. Democrats and in
surgents said they wanted the tariff
reduced. The Payne bill carried re-
duction in consumptive value in
chemicals, including a fourteen per
cent reduction in white lead, Of $433,-
1S9,s46; in earthenware and glass
ware of $12S,423.732; in wood, includ-
ing lumber, Of $3.50. .870,950; in metals,
including iron and steel of $1.221,-
965 $500; In sugar, molasses and manu-
factures of 300,965 1858; pulp, white
paper and books $67,62S,055; sundry
articles, s1.719.42s.s69.
"The bill contained 654 reductions
In articles of necessity and common
use. The average ad valorem rate on
dutiable imports under the Dingley
law was 25.48 per cent; under the
Payne law 20.95 per cent-a reduc-
tion of almost five per cent on all
dutiable imports.
Democrats and insurgents said
they wanted law that would raise
revenue. The Republican majority in
the house and senate, and the presi-
dent were in favor of the Payne law,
and in eleven months raised enough
revenue to make up a deficit in our
treasury amounting to $57 1000, 900 and
giving us balance of $4,000, 900.
Democrats and insurgents, working
and voting together, voted against
this law"
